A Broken Arm

A few days ago something crazy happened to Cassee.
She was playing with Preston at Jill's house. They were on the bed downstairs. There was a laundry basket and a pillow. Preston did not push her. Cassidee did not fall off the bed. Yet, somehow she fell over the basket and landed on the bed and managed to break her arm!
So now, tomorrow we head to the doctor's office to get a cast put on her arm. It will be water-proof, so hopefully that won't ruin her whole summer!

Cassidee's Preschool Graduation

Cassidee finished her first full year of preschool at Esperanza Preschool in Farmington in May.
She looked so grown up in her cap and gown.
Here's her class. (And the afternoon kids too.)

I loved this small smile I got out of her. I think I was distracting her.

Here she's singing a song. She's very focused on watching her teacher and doing all the right actions. Her teacher said she was a good example to her class all the time.

Here she is getting her "diploma".

Yeah, she did it!

This is a guitar we made for one of her songs. All the kids were so funny playing their guitars. Pink is her favorite color again.

Here's she is showing me her spot.

This is her teacher, Miss Kelly. She was great. Cassee loved her a lot.

These are the classroom aides/helpers, Miss Henrietta and Miss Ko.

Daddy and little brothers, Adam and Andrew came to cheer her on.

And of course Mom too.

Good job Cassidee for all your hard work this year. You did great.
Now she's all ready for Kindergarten!

Cassee's 5th Birthday

Cassee had her first friend birthday party.
We had about 8 other kids at the house.
Here they are playing with balloons.

Here's the table where we decorated flower pots and filled them with candy. And decorated cupcakes.

We had "flower" cupcakes for her cake this year.

Here's the birthday girl with her 5 candles!

You gotta love the "blowing-out-the-candles shot!

She got lots of great gifts from everyone.

Including a t-ball set, bat, balls, and baseball mitt from Mom and Dad!
She's quite the little baseball player already. Grandpapa's so proud!
Happy Birthday Cassidee!

Best Sisters

Today Cassee told me that Emmalynn was her best friend. I hope she remembers that when she's 14!

Cassee the Ladybug

Little Cass decided to be a ladybug for Halloween this year. Thanks to our neighbors who had a suit big enough.
She was also a ladybug for her first Halloween 4 years ago! Not sure where that picture is!

Cassee and Books

Cassee loves books. She can sit with a pile of books for an hour and "read" through each one. I recently got a few books with matching CDs. We put the CD player in her room and showed her how to work it. She is always going in there to listen to one of the books.
Today right after we got home from church she went in there to "read" a book.
We have so many books and it makes me so happy to see my kids actually enjoying them!
