kindergarten graduation

Jaxon's kindergarten graduation. Isn't he so cute? It was so fun to go and see him singing and presenting the things that they have learned in his class. Way to go Jaxon!!! We love you

He saw the camera so now he is striking a pose :)

who knows what he is doing here!?!

A letter from his teacher.

His certificate! He did it, now it's on to first grade, I can't believe it. He is growing up too fast.

Jaxon and Mrs. Wilson.

BEAR WORLD

This year I got to go on the kindergarten field-trip. We went to Bear World. Jaxon was so excited. I don't know whether he was more excited to go to Bear World or ride on the school bus for the first time. He kept saying, "this is the BEST day EVER!"

Just some of the animals we saw. Just a little side note, this Elk that you see that is white, is not an albino elk. He does have colored eyes. Kind of interesting.
More elk.

A grizzly bear. They keep the grizzlies seperate and alone. They keep all the black bears together.

Black bears in the trees

At the petting zoo. Jaxon wasn't too interested in petting the animals because of all the hair they were shedding.

Baby black bears. They are only 4 months old.

They were fun to watch

We got to pet a black bear. They aren't as soft as I thought they would be. The fir is very course.

Then we got to eat lunch even though everyone was freezing! Jaxon and some of his classmates Jaxon and his friend Rhya Nuffer

In front of Bear World

With some of his friends from his class. We just had a great time and can't wait to go back with Dad and Abby.

THE NEW SWING SET

Well we finally did it, we got a swing set for the kids to enjoy. But I have to say that I will never, yes you heard me never put one of those together again. :) It took us 3 entire Saturdays to get it done and yes that did include one in the snow! I thought my fingers would fall off. But now it's done and they love it.

This picture is the 2nd Saturday. We had just put the swings on.

Jaxon couldn't wait to see how high he could go!


Abby taking her turn as well. She loves to swing.

Jaxon and Abby swinging and having fun. Notice there is no slide, yet.

Ah, day 3. The slide is on!! Finally finished, and I'll say it again, never again! Jaxon looking out from the top. His first trip down the slide.

Just came out of the slide.

Now it's Abby's turn.

EASTER 2011

Easter this year for us started early, but we didn't complain :) We colored our eggs at the very begining of April so we could take them down to Grandma and Grandpa Rasmussen's.

Abby coloring her egg with the help of dad.
Jaxon and Abby loved coloring their eggs. They did 2 eggs each and just enjoyed every minute of it. As you can see by the way Abby is already banging her eggs together they didn't last very long.

At Grandma and Grandpa's house we hid our colored eggs and then went for an Easter Egg hunt. Jaxon showing off what he found.

Abby still looking for some of her eggs.

She found an egg, but did not want to stick her hand in that poky tree :) But with the help of dad she finally was able to get the egg.

Success!! She got the egg out of the tree.

Jaxon found one of his, but wasn't quite sure how he was going to get it down :) Ryan thought he was pretty clever

Now he is pointing to the egg

With a lot of help he was able to get it down

Abby looking and finding her own eggs

Jaxon and Abby after they found all their eggs and were freezing.

This year Easter weekend we had a neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt and we just had a great time. It was on Saturday before Easter and it was one of the few nice days we have actually had. Here is Abby getting ready to run!

Jaxon and his friend Krew Grover.

Jaxon just having a good time

Easter morning, Abby woke up first and found her "princess dress" the Easter Bunny left her

She was so excited, she couldn't wait to put it on

Next came Jaxon and he was more interested in the candy and not the new Sunday clothes!

But he did get a new shirt and tie to wear

Abby in her new dress feeling very much like a princess, doesn't she look beautiful?

Jaxon looking handsome as ever. He was actually too sick to go to church, but he wanted to wear his new church clothes anyway. What a cute kid

Both of my beautiful children. We love them so much.

On top of their new play set. It is only half way done after working most of the day Saturday. They can hardly wait to get to play on it. Jaxon took the latter and Abby took the rock wall to get up to the top. That is very tipical of each of them. When it finally gets finished we'll post more pictures. We had a wonderful Easter and are very thankful for all that our Savior did for us.
