Brielle's 6-year-old Pictures

These are Brielle's spring school pictures for her Kindergarten year!! Can't believe it's already almost over! These school years are just going to fly, aren't they... :)

Brielle’s First Field Trip

The Kindergarten had their first field trip of the year this past week – to the Zoo! Brielle has been SO excited for weeks!! And I was so lucky to be able to go with her – so excited I didn’t have to miss out on her first field trip… :) We had a very fun day there together – and I also got to meet two of Brielle’s best friends from her class who were in our group. They just had a blast together! One of Brielle’s favorite parts of the whole experience was getting to pack our own sack lunches for a little picnic lunch there at the zoo. We bought little snacks and treats especially for that day, which she was so excited about and looked forward to eating for days beforehand… :) She continues to bring back fun memories for me of my own elementary school days – I love how kids do that for us! :)

Our Colette

Colette surprised me the other day and actually wrote her name all by herself for the first time! We’ve been working on it together, but I didn’t realize she was catching on so quickly… She was excited about it!

And then the other night, as always, she dressed herself up – she had found some red pants, her sunday shoes, and one of her dress-up necklaces… Somehow no matter what she chooses to wear, she always looks adorable! Brielle, who is constantly asking me if she can take pictures and video with the camera - (wonder where in the world that came from!) – took this picture… :)

Samuel in Basketball

We just love these little Start-Smart classes they offer here at the Youth Center -- letting the smaller-aged kids be involved in sports. This past month has been basketball for Samuel, and he just gets so proud when he gets to feel like he is apart of a sports team! He has a blast! Here's a cute picture of our little aspiring athlete at his Start-Smart class... :)
