Ducks in the Pool!

Last night as we were cleaning up the dishes from dinner – Kenneth glanced out the window and noticed two ducks swimming around in our pool!  We ran for the camera and a couple pieces of bread for Sarah.  She had a blast seeing the ducks up close.  They stayed for about 15 minutes before flying off to their next destination!

1st Tubing Day of 2010!

Sarah has been anxiously waiting for the weather (and water!) to be warm enough for tubing.  Today was finally the day!  After school we went out on the boat and did a little tubing.  Mommy went with Sarah for a little while, and then Sarah went all by herself.  After all that tubing Sarah was ready for a little snack – and she even tried her first grape soda!

Piano Recital 12.09

I finally figured out how to get video files off the camera and onto the computer! So here is Sarah's very 1st piano recital last December. She had only been taking lessons for a few weeks.

Fun at the Zoo

Sarah had a school field trip to the zoo on Tuesday.  I volunteered to chaperone…so much fun!  The kids got to ride on the school bus, which Sarah was so excited about.  We got to the zoo early, so it wasn’t yet crowded.  We walked around looking at all the animals – fun to see the zoo through a four year olds eyes!  Then we had a picnic lunch followed by a short class on the 4 different classes of animals (mammal, reptile, birds, fish).  The kids even got to pet a bunny.  Then we were off to the carousel, which it seemed all the kiddos enjoyed very much…but not as much as the ice cream that followed!  After a little playtime in the Children’s Zoo and playground it was time to load up the buses.   Although we were exhausted at the end of the day we really enjoyed our trip!

Sarah’s 1st Soccer Game

Sarah had her 1st soccer game this morning!  Her team name is The Surge.  I think she was a little worn out by the end of the game, but she sure looked like she was having fun.  The game ended right before a thunderstorm rolled through, so everyone was running for their cars.  I guess I’m officially a soccer mom!
