My New Favorite Thing

Well we finally did it, we got our selves a new car. Well it wasn't brand new but still new. On Larry's birthday we went to Northbend and looked at this suburban. We saw it drove it and loved it. We have been looking now for a couple of months because we felt like we were kind of growing out of the Durango. Don't get me wrong the durango fit us just fine but we did feel a little bit cramped and I was tired of having to put the seat down for the kids to get into the back. So we had been looking and we came across this one on Craigslist at a dealer ship. We had seen it on there a couple of times and we were going to go and look at it sooner but we just never got the time so on larry's birthday I called to see if it was still there and it was so we drove all the way to northbend and looked at it. It is a 2008 suburban and it was the owners vehicle so it has alot of good things on the inside. It has exactly what I wanted in there as far as seating goes. I wanted the bucket seats for the secon row and then the back seat with the three and then a dvd player. That was really the main thing that I wanted in a new car so all the other stuff was just a bonus. So now we have a suburban and i never wanted one but I actually love it. The gas isn't very different from the durango so I am o.k with that. Now we have a car payment, and hopefully we will be able to pay this one off sooner like we did the durango, but I love my suburban.

Preschool

On March 27th I had the chance to go to preschool with Zach for the morning. It was so much fun and Zach was really excited to for me to go. His preschool teacher has all the parents come in during the year and participate in what their child does at school. Well I went and had such a good time and loved seeing all the things that he does at school. Mrs. Snyder does such a great job with the kids and teaches them so much I am sure hope that I will be able to find Carson a preschool as good as that when it is his turn to go. So at school we start out reading books until everyone gets there, then we do show and tell and then we do excercises and then we take a rest and we do the days of the week the calander and then we go over some of the artists that they have learned about and we do our work. When I was there we were talking about Penguins and the different kinds of penguins that there is and so we did a work sheet on that. Zach can now point out what some of the different penguins are. After we are all done with our work sheet and Mrs. Snyder goes overs it with us and makes sure we have done it correctly we get to have some play time and then we do drama. The whole month of March they were doing Thumbelina. Zach was Grundle which is a frog and I was one of the jitter bugs, a lady bug jitter bug to be exact. After Drama we go home. Oh I forgot one thing before we have our play time we have snack time and who ever has their parent come in that day they get to bring the treats so we brought Scooby Doo fruit roll ups. So here are some pictures from my time at school. I don't usually post pictures of myself and I didn't like any of the ones of me and so I only posted the two of me. I wore a really bulky sweater that day and when i looked at the pictures I didn't like them to much but anyway we had other then that and here are the picture.

Here we are doing some of our excercises and I posted this one for a reason. Look very closely at this picture and tell me what do you see wrong about my outfit that day. Jen knows so don't say anything Jen. I felt like such a dork when I realized what I had done.

I don't know what happened to this picture because I turned it so that it wasn't going to be like this but it posted this way anyway. This is Zach doing the calander and counting how many rainy days there were in march. The lambs are the sunny and the lions are the rainy. Look at all those lions.

Days of the week.

Here we are playing with the girls. Zach did play with the boys at first but then he chose to play with the girls. I think that playing with Madison has been good for him because he plays good with the girls as well as the boys.

Fun Times

So I know that it has been a while and I am going to have alot more post but I thought that I would start out with this one because this was the first thing that has really happened that was exciting. Well I finally did it, I went and signed the kids up for soccer. Madison has been asking me for the longest time to sign her up for soccer and I finally did. Zach didn't want to play at first but I made him do it anyway because I thought that he would have a lot of fun. Zach wanted to play basketball but it wasn't basketball time so I kind of convinced him to play soccer. Soccer was his third choice, he wanted to play basketball then he chose baseball. Well he wasn't old enough yet to play tee-ball so we are going to wait until next year and sign him up for that then because then he will be five. Anyway the kids have been having alot of fund doing this and I am glad that they are playing. I am officially a soccer mom. Anyway here are some pictures of the kids playing soccer. I couldn't get very many good ones of Zach because he was hard to take pictures of while he is playing. He is number six.

He gets so excited when he gets the ball.
