The Dallas Arboretum

Today is the last day of our spring break. I can't believe how fast this week went by. On Thursday we went to the Dallas Arboretum with the Cimino family and had so much fun. Amy has two beautiful children. Colin is in Kindergarten with Rachel and baby Kate is only 16 months old and she is beautiful. I love the picture below. Baby Kate is holding a handful of little rocks and the other kids are watching carefully so she doesn't put them in her mouth LOL! Here are some pictures from our fun day. Enjoy!

Boo!


Today after school, Micah and Rachel wanted to go out and get some candy. They were so excited to get home and put their costumes on. Micah loves the movie "Cars", so he wore a Tow Mater Costume and Rachel wanted to be and angel, which she kept calling "My Butterfly Costume" because of the wings. They went to this little mall close to our house to get candies. They had a lot of fun and at the end of the evening all they kept saying was "This was the best Halloween ever!".

Red Ribbon Week!

Red Ribbon Week is one of my favorite weeks at school. It is a special week recognized around the country promoting drug prevention. Kids and teachers wear something different everyday during the week. Monday was “PUT A CAP ON DRUGS”. Kids and teachers were allowed to wear our favorite hat. Micah and Rachel wore their favorite hat too!


There is Rachel wearing her cute blue hat and Micah wearing his cowboys one!






Aren't they cute?





They had so much fun!

1st Grade Program

Thursday night was Micah's Dance Night at school. The 1st graders danced for moms and dads. Micah was wonderful! Of course he loves to dance just like mommy, he definitely has Latin blood in his "Micah Dance." I was trying not to cry, but I couldn't help it. To see Micah grow and do all the different things he does, only makes me more happy and proud to be a mother! Rachel enjoyed the night too! She cannot wait to be in 1st grade to do the dance too. She really loves to dance. Her lovely teacher and my friend, Yomaida was telling me a little story about a "Dancing Contest", in class yesterday. All the kids in the class were dancing! The story is: Mrs. England's class was "peeling the banana.'"When I say, "peel," I mean really shaking and moving. The class voted and tallied up scores on the best dancers.(Mrs. England's way of getting in some kindergarten math objectives). Anyway, apparently Mrs. England has been calling my daugther Rachel, Raquel like...Raquel Welch. She doesn't include the "Welch." Rachel LOVES that Mrs. England calls her that name. Even if she's being redirected and is called by her real name, she reminds Mrs. England to repeat the direction using the name Raquel and not Rachel. It's really funny. So yesterday, when the kids were voting on the best "banana peeler" RAQUEL was chosen to get in the middle of the circle and PEEL that BANANA! The kids were even calling Rachel Raquel. Yomaida told me the story in a message. From what she says, my daughter may be a mini J Lo in the making! Ha-Ha!





There's my Micah!
