The end of the beginning

Well...he's off to first grade. I can't believe how fast it came. Here's my pictures from our morning.

Report Card

I couldn't be any prouder of my Jake!! He got a PERFECT report card! Top marks in everything and he ended at a reading level 12 with no help. What a guy! All my worries about starting him early were for nothing. I'm beaming! He was just like "huh...yeah, ok mom". Look out First Grade..here he comes!

Swimming Monsters

This is a school project Jacob brought home the other day. It says "Sometimes I act like a monster. When I act like a zombie I walk like Frankenstein. I make zombie sounds." I love the little picture! Eye's closed, arms out...hilarious!

Here's another that he brought. It's about our summer plans. It says "This summer I am going swimming at my swimming lessons." I love that the lifeguard has a whistle on his/her neck. There's me, Jacob and the twins too. he he!


Kindergarten has been so great for Jacob. I was so worried going into the year that we were pushing him to early. He is an October baby, so he was only 4 when he started. He has done so well, both academically and emotionally. We really lucked out!

I "HEART" YOU

My Jakey drew this for me at school today. I "heart" it!

Fairy Tale Town

We just got home from Funderland, which is a pretty old small amusement park in William Land Park in Sacramento. The boys had a blast! The only bummer was that the train was closed for the day. Now we are going to the Outback for dinner. Jason is meeting a friend for drinks and dinner, so it's mom and the boys only tonight!

Fishing at the cabin

This weekend we made an overnight trip up to the cabin. The boys absolutely love it there! They can get dirty and stay that way for the remainder of the trip. Grandpa pushed them for hours on the swings, they played "mountain baseball" where they hit pine cones instead of balls, they went for a bike ride, and fished a bit before we left. Too bad there was a dead animal somewhere in the sleeping house that I had to smell the whole night. I think I got about 2 hours of sleep, so I was exhausted after my holiday weekend! But everyone had a fun time!

I'm gonna catch one this big!!
