Last Days of School

Here are some pictures from Jackson's last few days of preschool.  Although as of right now we are going to have him go to kindergarten at this preschool next year and hold off on public school kindergarten for another year, so it really doesn't feel like the end of preschool yet.  :)

Emmett and I went to J's school a few weeks ago to celebrate Jackson's summer birthday.  Phil was able to take the morning off of work to take Reid to the doctor for his well-visit and it was nice for me to spend time with just J and E.  Here are the three summer birthday kiddos in his class...


Emmett was SO excited to be able to go to school with Jackson...


They celebrated with chili dogs and chips...


...and cupcakes.  :)


Emmett loved wearing the birthday hat, whereas J tried his on really quickly and then wanted it off right away.  :)


Then a few days later it was the last day of school...



Such a big boy!  He's so sweet... I just want to eat him up!



 Just to compare... here he is on the first day of school this year.  ;)


And then a few days after that it was "graduation" time.  His class sang a few songs and did hand motions, but of course our little J just stood there the whole time and didn't sing a bit!  Phil and I were cracking up.  He is so much like Phil in that respect... Phil never, ever sings at church.  :)


When they announced each kiddo's name they said what he/she wanted to be when they grew up.  Jackson said "a pilot".  :)  One little girl said she wanted to be a Mommy and that made me almost want to cry! So sweet!  Here is J with his teachers...


Notice all of the grandparents and extended family in the background?  We were the only ones there with just our little family.  Kinda sad.  :(


But then this brightens me up....


Oh, how I love my wonderful firstborn son!


The ceremony was at 7:00, which is Reid's bedtime, so he was a little crazy-pants the whole time.  He sat for a little bit at the beginning while we bribed him with food, but then Phil and I were taking turns chasing him around outside most of the time.


Can't believe my boys are getting so big so fast!

Had to peek in on your blog to catch up on your life since we couldn't get together today! Cute post! The boys are getting SO big. You look amazing in that pic with J...I just bought a black and white polka dot blouse similar to the one you are wearing on our trip-I love it! And regarding an older post of yours...we went to the Snoopy show too and I agree-it was NOT good. Our school signed up for another show but it was cancelled...and that is what they gave us as a replacement. Have a fun weekend!
