Tadpole Trot 1K

Daddy and the racers! Everyone is lookin' pumped!
Jack & Beau both came out super fast! Look at those dudes go!
J-Dog's breaking away!
Maizie is running but wants to hold Dad's hand so that she doesn't get run over.
Almost to the finish - Beau & Maizie needing some assistance. Jack ends up in 4th place and one of them was a grown up so I'm gonna say 3rd. Woohoo!! Everyone gets a cool medal and Jack keeps asking when the next race will be.

AWANA Awards!

The kids were involved in AWANA at Long Beach Alliance Church and loooved it! They were used to a much bigger program back in CO but this smaller group proved to be perfect for these guys.
This is Jack & Mr. Tom who is in charge of Sparks. Jack loved Tom! He always came home telling us all the fun stuff that Tom taught. Jack was the only kindergarten Spark to get the perfect attendance medal - woohoo go us!! He also got an award for finishing his first book which means he memorized a heck of a lot of verses.
Crap pictures but you can kind of see him in the back. Look for the blue wristband!!
B-Dog graduated from Cubbies and did an awesome job!!
Another crap picture! But there he is on stage accepting his award. He had a great time at cubbies but is super excited to be a SPARK next year with Jack. Yet another crap picture..ugh. You can kind of see Beau on the left next to the chick with the blue dress on.
I know the kids have stored so much of God's Word in their heart because I hear them telling other kids the verses they've learned. It's really great to see them on fire and being around other kids that love God too.
Next year Maizie girl will be a Cubbie and then we'll have Wednesday evenings all to ourselves YEAH!!!

Beau's PreK

Beau loved showing us around his Pre K class during his recent open house. He gave us the ultimate tour and showed us how he jumps off the playground every time he's there.
What a good big brother Jack is - catching Maizie! Beau's favorite room in his class - the dress up room! His teacher Miss Laura says that he dresses up as Batman every chance he gets.
Maizie can hardly wait to be in pre K too because she loved the dress up room too.
Here's where they sit on their square and listen to stories.
Here's Beau's cubby!
He'll be graduating from Pre K next week and he is so excited!! He's glad to start going to kindergarten everyday instead of only 2 mornings a week. Our Big Dude BEAU!!
