Rhett's Preschool Graduation

It's the end of an era!  Our last baby graduated from preschool.  We've had a child at this preschool for 7 years!  I am so thankful that Rhett got to have a relatively normal preschool year AND a preschool graduation.  He had the sweetest class and awesome teachers.  

Normally the preschool does one big graduation for 5 classes at once.  This year, they did one class at a time and it was so nice!  The teachers were able to make it more personable.  They shared a Fruit of the Spirit that they felt described each child.  Rhett's word was "gentleness" because "he is careful not to hurt is friends and never raises his voice in anger".  This made me so proud!  I wouldn't use the word gentleness to describe him at home, so I'm glad he is gentle at school. :) The class also sang a couple of songs and recited a Bible verse.  It was a sweet night!  

We love Mrs. Nessen and Mrs. Hudspeth!  

The sweetest class.

They celebrated the last day of school with splash day!

This is Rhett on his very first day of preschool...

and here he is on his very last day of preschool!  

Look at Rhett and Perry on their very first day in the Monkey class...

and their very last day (on the same bench) in the Elephant class!  

It's been so sweet to experience the preschool years together!  

All 3 of my babies on the First Steps wooden bench!

We will miss First Steps Preschool SO much!  I'm so thankful for our years there.  

Easter + Mother's Day Pictures

We love to dye Easter eggs!

The Easter Bunny came! 

On Easter Sunday we went to church (in person this year!) and then spent the day at Mumsie and Popsie's for brunch, bunny cake, egg hunting, and swimming!

Mother's Day picture with my babies...

Mother's Day at preschool is the best.  We couldn't have the traditional Mother's Day Tea this year, but the teachers put together a sweet zoom call for us.  

A little 2021 fun... (January-March)

Alli and I took the kids on a little day trip to Aggieland Safari!

Reid's love language is getting to sneak back out of bed (after GK and Rhett are asleep) to watch a special sporting event.  I love how this picture captures his joy while watching the college national championship game.  

January 19 is always a double birthday celebration for Chris and Mumsie!  We also celebrated Alli's birthday in February and Popsie and Thomas' birthday in March, but sadly I don't have pictures.  

Even though the actual rodeo was cancelled this year, these two still got to have their last preschool rodeo day!  Oh how I love the preschool stickhorse parade.  

Rhett had his school Valentine's Day Party...

and all 3 kids went to a park Valentine's Day Party with some small group friends!  

Alli and I took Reid, Georgia Kate, and Luke to Friendswood one day (while Rhett and Perry were at school) to visit with Guinny!  We had a great visit!  

We also realized that Reid is going to catch up to Guinny soon!

We had fun with some small group friends at Pack-a-thon!  I was so proud of the kids for hanging in there the whole time and working so hard!

We didn't have any big plans over Spring Break, but the kids went to a day of their favorite horse camp and we had a cousin zoo day!  

It's hard to believe, but we are now right at the 1 year mark of Covid coming in and shaking things up!
