Kindergarten Reflections

The kindergarten classes at Smith Elementary reflect on all that they have learned during the year. They share this with the parents by presenting songs and mini plays at the end of the year.

Jackson was a duck in the play. He sang "Six Little Ducks" and marched around the stage.

Jackson's 6th Birthday

Jackson celebrated his birthday with friends at the Maynard Aquatic Center, an indoor swimming pool. The children swam, ate pizza, and had yummy Wall-E cupcakes.


On his actual birthday we went to eat at Ruby Tuesdays then came home to open presents and eat cake.Jackson sporting his scuba gear. He got flippers, too!

Eggs Anyone?

I guess I wasn't fast enough at making sandwiches. Adam decided to help himself to some eggs. (He's naked because his clothes were all wet from playing in the water.)

Cooling Off

It was hot on Saturday so I set up the water table for Adam. Of course, Jackson had to come and play, too. Adam was thrilled to play in the water with the boats. He started pouring water all over Jackson. It upset Jackson at first but then he realized it was OK and he could throw water, too.

Adam still sticks his tongue out when he concentrates.

Last Soccer Game

Jackson's last soccer game was on Saturday. Here a few shots from the game.

Easter Egg Hunt

Our church hosts an annual Easter Egg Hunt on Palm Sunday. Adam knew exactly what to do. He did start taking the eggs out of his basket once he got a few in there. The highlight of the day for him was finding an egg that looked like a football. He was calling all the eggs balls anyway, so it worked out perfectly!

No Maggie, let me get the ones over here!

I'll put these in my basket.

Am I done now?

Oh, look! I found another one!

My basket is full. Can I play now?

I'd rather climb than find Easter Eggs.

Trip to Hilton Head, SC

Jackson and I had a long weekend due to a teacher workday, so we headed to Hilton Head, SC with the Faircloth's. We went to a children's museum on the island. The boys had tons of fun playing with all the stuff there.

The next day was a nice warm day, so we spent some time that morning on the beach.

On the way back to the house, we stopped at a park to play.
