Kiera's Graduation

My baby girl Graduated Kindergarten Yesterday. I can't believe how much she has grown up. She is so excited to be in First Grade. She had a wonderful teacher this year and she told me that she is moving up to first grade next year. I'm crossing my fingers that Kiera gets to have her again. Kiera is not much for change so this would be a very good thing. I love the little lady she is becoming. I have tried really hard to have a good relationship with her because of the lack of relationship I have with my own mom.

I Love her and can't believe she is going to be a big First Grader!

Dryson's Graduation

We have had a couple graduations in the past month. Dryson graduated from Playschool with High Honors. He loved playschool. I'm pretty sure his teachers loved him also. Everytime we go see Dad at work all the girls come up and give him kisses and hugs. I might be partial but I think he is pretty cute myself. Dryson and is cousin eating cake...probably Dryson's favorite part of graduating!

The Three Amigos...Three cousins in one class...Good Thing they are good boys
(for the most part)

Fishing

There has been a couple (and I do mean a couple) nice days this spring. A couple weeks ago we took the kids along with Uncle Ryan and Dani out fishing. Kuna has a great little pond that they started stocking with fish. It is perfect: 2 mins away and we are able to catch some fish. Ryan has took the kids a couple times since he was hurt in a work accident and really has nothing better to do.

Meet the Newest Member of the Family

Here she is ANNABELLE!

Leigh and the kids have been looking for several months for the "right dog". We have been to the pound, we have been to the pet store (way to much $), and Leigh has been looking online. I gave him a price range...FREE.99 and told him good luck. Well he found one!!

She is a 7 yr old Shitzu. Her family had gotten a new labarodoodle and they didn't get along. She had been at the same home her whole life. She is house broken, doesn't bark very often(I haven't heard her yet) and very loving and cuddly. She loves to sit on your lap and loves the kids. I think she is definitely "THE ONE". Good Job LEIGH!!!

On a side note Dryson calls her "Anna Beal". She is a good friend of ours I think that is so funny. Sorry Anna

Happy Birthday Megan!!!!

Happy Birthday Megan!

28 years young!

Looking good!

Pre-School

Dryson is old enough to start playschool (he calls it pre-school whatever) at the highschool. He loves getting up and going to school with is Dad. He is definitaly more of a mommy's boy so some one on one time with Leigh is great for the both of them. Unlike Kiera he runs into to class and doesn't look back. There are 3 Patterson grandkids in the the class--poor teachers!

Kiera's New Look

Kiera failed the eyesight test at school and the nurse told me that I needed to get her eyes checked. I thought she was totally faking it. Neither Leigh or me have problems with our eyes so why would our kids. I forgot about some of those fabulous genes that maybe we have pasted along. Well long story short YES she does need glasses. Lucky her!!! She looks totally cute in them and is very good and remembering to wear them and take care of them. She says it helps her see a lot better and I guess I believe her. I know what you are all thinking #1 mom right, not knowing that my own daughter can't see. Well I didn't I would totally recommend getting your kids eyes checked before they start school!!
