On To First Grade!

It's hard to believe the year is over already!  Sam finished his last day of kindergarten yesterday and is officially off for summer!   He teacher had a little presentation ready for the parents complete with a song titled Kindergarten Lovin' to the tune of Summer Nights in Grease.  It was adorable - we got some good videos!  She also handed them out 'candy' awards - Sam's was a starburst - for being a star worker in all areas.  To celebrate after class we went with a few friends to McDonald's and let the kids play a bit.  Sam mentioned he was going to be sad to not get to see his friends everyday - I think we will be doing a lot of park summer playdates!

We are so proud of how well Sam has done this year and how well he has adjusted to school life.  His reading and writing are simply amazing - he has just learned so much this year.  So now a little break and then off to first grade he goes.  It's a little crazy to think he will be gone from us for a full day - I have a feeling we will all miss him but he is definitely ready for this new adventure.  Congrats our little kindergarten graduate!

Looking older than he was 10 months ago!

Everyone was excited to take Sam to his last day

Sun River and Portland for Mid Winter Break

Drew had a conference in Sun River OR this past winter and we made the call to tag along for a little vacation.  Things were slightly dampened by the fact that it appears Cole has developed car sickness since the summer. Ugh.  The drive was so long! However, it was worth it in the end and we had a wonderful time relaxing in an amazing little chalet, enjoying the snow, sitting in the hot tub, sledding and skating!  Couldn't have asked for more fun!  A stop at our favorite in Mt. Hood - El burro loco! A glass of wine after our 6 hour road trip turned into 10 hours due to car sickness!  Right before our Owl Walk.  We were told we could walk into the wood and hear the owls. What a bust!  3 cold and tired kids in the dark woods and no owls!  It's now a running joke in our home as the  tour guide kept 'hooting' trying to draw the owl's attention.  If we want someone's attention in the house we often hoot at each other now...
