Preschool Graduation

This is Lexi's super sweet teacher Ms April. She has got to be one of the best preschool teachers ever!! There was not a class that went by that Lexi did not come home talking about something she had learned and she was constantly coming home with the best art projects!! She does a new theme each year for school this year it was Pirates...Argh! I don't know how she does it but I am super thankful to her. Lexi will sure miss preschool. Lucky for us Miss April lives right next door to us so Lexi will still get to see her!!
Here she is giving her part. "Our grandparents came on a very special day. We sang sea chanteys and got to play". Say that ten times fast! She did awesome.
Here she is with her cute graduation hat! Kind of a little silly that they make such a big deal of preschool graduation, especially considering she will go again next year....BUT how can you argue with how cute she looks in that hat!
During their program the kids sang lots of songs for us. Lexi has come home many a day singing new songs. One of her favorites...My Bonnie lies over the Ocean...I am sure because of her Aunt Bonnie.
Oh Lexi were love ya girl!

Locks of Love


Adelyn decided a while ago that she wanted to grow her hair out to donate to Locks of Love. So we were very patient for many months for those 10 inches to grow!! At the beginning of April we measured...sure enough it was long enough!! Not only was I excited for her to be able to donate, but I was also really tired of brushing through her hair everyday a few times a day!! So many tangles...so little time!!

Here she is holding up her first cut.

Look at the two sides....holy cow she is so brave! We are so proud of her!

The finished product! She was so thrilled to have it done! When we got home we were looking at the website for Locks of Love and Addy saw some of the kids who had received wigs from the donated hair. She said it made her feel really good inside knowing that someone would be able to have her hair. How sweet is she?? She defiantly got that from her Dad or someone else....I am so proud of her!!!
