Kauai

Yes, I am behind...but so much has happened lately! I got to go to Kauai for 5 days in July with just the girls, my friends that is! Daddy stayed home with the kiddos and Kye-Kye came to help for a few days. My good friend got married in Kauai, so my cousin-in-law and I planned to meet there...well I am not so good at flying so my sis-in-law decided to tag along and play in the sun too! We had the best time, drinking lava flows, hanging by the pool, laying at the beach, doing a little sight seeing and enjoying the beautiful wedding! Here are some highlights:

Madison's 1st Field Trip

Madison's preschool went on a field trip last week, of course I had to take the day off and go along. We walked from her school to downtown and saw "Survivor Fairtale" a local production. She had a great time walking with her friends and seeing the play. I am so lucky I had the opportunity to go and be a part of it.

So excited for the play to start!

What a GREAT day, we followed the play with a mommy and Madison lunch at Red Robin (her choice) then to the mall for a little shopping. It was fun to have some one on one time with her. She is turning into a wonderful little lady! 4 going on 17! :)

Mother's Day Flowers

Scott took Madison out to have her pick out some flowers for me for Mother's Day, don't you think she has wonderful taste?!?!?

My Open House

The week after Madison's open house, I had my very own open house in my kindergarten classroom. It went really well. Madison and Mackenzie drug daddy along since they don't want to leave my side :) well, sort of, we had chicks hatch and Madison really wanted to see them.
My open house was a farm theme so of course Madison had to wear her cowgirl hat!
