Happy Birthday, Presley!

This past Saturday, we got to enjoy another celebration with Presley for her birthday...CandyLand style!!


 They played Candy Land live...they were their own game pieces...they loved it!






 Then, it was time to decorate their crowns!



 Cake Time!


Oh Deer!

Ryan has game cams set up around the fence line and the girls love to go change out and check the camera cards each day or so, but no game cam was necessary here!
Ryan saw these deer as he was pulling in the driveway the other day and we've seen them a couple of more times...not far from the house.


Tooth #6 Bye Bye!

Katie is so excited that she lost another tooth...that's #6!

 Rylie loves reading her stories in her Princess book! She knows "Princess and the Pea" by heart and just reads along and doesn't skip one single detail!
 Katie's loving reading her "Judy Moody" books! Thanks Gigi and Poppy!
Katie's always drawing some fantastic drawings on my whiteboard after school each day.  My students say, "Mrs. Preston, you're daughter is so good at drawing!"

We've had busy, but fun past few days getting Valentine's ready and receiving some too!
 Katie's elephant "love you a ton" valentines with goodie bags!

Great Valentine's Day 2012!
 Katie and Rylie made these with MamaJan during a Sunday School Lesson about showing love.  They can pull out a heart each day for a way to show love that day!
 They also made bible verse craft!
 Rylie wrote this at school...she really does have great handwriting (even better than this worksheet shows).
 A little craft at school...I love you!
She is so proud of these Valentine Crafts!
