1st Grade Field Day

Today was the first grade's opportunity to participate in Field Day at school.  The kids were divided into "teams" for the first half of the day and competed in relay races.  The second half of the day consisted of fun & games for everyone. 
Reagan's class waiting for their turn
 my big first (almost second) grader
 anxiously awaiting her turn to race
 Her friend Brylyn was on her team
 Cooper was a little disappointed that he couldn't participate, so after a little bit of pouting, he played games on my phone
 getting instructions about the race
 Reagan is always a great cheerleader for her team!
 her leg of the "collect all you can" race

 Cooper wanted to take Reagan's picture with her newly acquired ribbon
 her team won 1st place!!!
 Next race ~ Animal Racket
 she had so much fun
 more cheering
 running back to show me her ribbon

 Cooper was able to join in to even the numbers for the girls team
 and he helped the boys team too!
 he took this very seriously!
 they played with a parachute
 Next was Star Wars - a lot like dodge ball, but with many more balls!
 Reagan was the ambulance driver
 Water Play
 Cooper joined in on this activity too!
 The last event ~ Marbles in a Pool
 What a fun day!
 a Popsicle for all their hard work
 yep, Cooper got one too!
Reagan and Cooper had so much fun, you would have thought they would be tired, but no such luck!

T-Ball Practice

Cooper returned to the t-ball field for practice tonight.  It felt like forever since he's been there, but he didn't miss a beat

they decided to move practice to the real field
 Cooper paid attention while his teammates played in the dirt!

Last Day of Pre-School 2012

Today was Cooper's last day of pre-school for this year.  Since we will be moving in a few weeks, it is also his last day at FBC.  He has had a great year and all of the teachers have been fantastic!
My big boy!
Ms Janice gave him a Certificate of Achievement since he was the only one not graduating from his class.  (all of the other kids will be going to kindergarten, but Cooper's birthdate made him the youngest in this class)
 not her last day of school, but she's still pretty enough to take a picture of!!

Memorial Day 2012

This is how we spent our Memorial Day 2012 ~ on the boat!!
We were going so fast, Cooper couldn't keep his eyes wet!
 "Woo-hoo" was heard all the way down the river
I just love this picture of her! 
 Greg enjoyed the ride too
 swim time
 Greg was lulled to sleep by the rocking of the boat
