Preschool Graduation
On Thursday Ana graduated from her 3’s Preschool class. All the parents and siblings were invited to the school to watch the children graduate and celebrate after with a little picnic.
During the program the kiddos sang a few songs they had been practicing.
Finally it was Ana’s turn to “walk across the bridge” which symbolized them progressing from one year to the next.
Ana’s teachers said a few nice things about each child and explained the word they selected to describe them. Ana’s word was “confident” and anyone that knows her would not be surprised by their choice.
All the children in the 3’s class, along with Teacher Valerie and Teacher Patty posed for a celebratory group photo.
Ana was so excited about the entire day and we could not be more proud of her accomplishments. Now our big decision is whether we should have her go into the 4’s class or skip her ahead to the Pre-K class. Decisions, decisions. Either way, my little girl is growing up way too fast!

Easter Activities Recap
Here is a pictorial recap of our Easter festivities this year.
First, we had our MOMS Club Easter Egg Hunt.
Then we dyed Easter Eggs with my mom.
Easter morning, Ana had to follow the hidden egg clues to find her (and Hadley’s) Easter baskets.
Then we had a little fun with the Easter baskets.
And of course, we have to end with a picture of my beautiful family on Easter.
Tulip Festival 2011
Before any more time passes, I have to post a few pictures from our amazing outing to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival. We took our trip down to Woodburn back in early April. The fields were just starting to bloom, but there was one day of amazing weather so we jumped at the chance to do one of my favorite activities of the year.
You can see all the pictures from our day here. Enjoy!

My Little Soccer Princess
Awhile back Ana won a Sports Princess Photo Contest. Yesterday she received her package full off some lovely sporty goodies. Naturally Ana was very happy to model them for me.
She was also suppose to get a custom sports princess dress, but things fell through and to make it up to Ana, Bethany over at Sports Princess gave her some extra money to go pick out her own princess dress. Today I took Ana to the Disney Store and let her pick out whichever princess dress she wanted. Her pick? The Cinderella bridal dress, of course. Once she picked out the dress she quickly said, “And now for the accessories!” That’s my little princess.
You can see all the pictures of Ana in her Soccer Princess winnings here. Enjoy!

Interviewing Ana, Third Time’s a Charm
I interviewed Ana for the first time in 2009 and then again in 2010. It’s been a year since our last recorded chat, so I thought it was time to sit down and interview Ana again.
Daddy Daughter Dance
Last night Ana and Sim went to the annual Daddy Daughter Dance that the Cedar Hills Rec Center puts on each year around Valentine’s Day. Ana looks forward to it all year. Anything fancy or special she sees she asks, “Could I wear that to the Daddy Daughter Dance?” So this year we really went all out. I let her pick out a fancy dress (from the leftover Christmas clearance). I let her borrow my heart earrings. I even ordered her a corsage.
Are they not the cutest thing ever?
My little girl is growing up so fast!
Ana was so proud of her fancy hair. And the silver heart earrings!
Ana is all ready to dance the night away.
They both had a wonderful time. Ana is already asking about next years dance! You can see all the pictures I took here. Enjoy!
