Last Day of Preschool

Thursday was Landon's last day of Preschool.  I can't believe how much he has grown from his first day to his last day.  I also can't believe that he is big enough to be in Pre-K next year.  Where does the time go?  Landon absolutely loved school at Fit by Five and is excited to go back there again in the fall.   He only went two days a week this year, but he will go three days a week next year.  Besides missing a day of school to go to Sandy's funeral, Landon had perfect attendance this year.  It is hard to believe with how much we have been sick this year, but thankfully most of the time it was on the weekend.  Hopefully his perfect attendance streak continues through high school and college!! 

Here are a couple pics of Landon on his first day....

And on his last day....

 Doesn't he look so grown up now?  It makes me sad :(

We got Landon's three teachers gift cards to Landon's favorite ice cream place, but we also made them these M&M presents:

Here is a closer pic of the poem that we put on the front.  Just in case you still can't read that, it says:

GREEN is for the inspiration you gave me each day.

BLUE is for your patience in showing me the way.

ORANGE is for your warmth and caring style.

YELLOW is for the way you always make me smile.

BROWN is for the way you took away all my fear.

RED is for my life that you have touched this school year.

You placed knowledge in my hands that melts into my heart and lives forever.

You're a "Magnificent" and "Marvelous" teacher...

Thank you for being my M&M!

Super Why Live

Matt's parents got Landon tickets to Super Why Live for his birthday.  The show was in Akron (about an hour away) on May 7.  We had a blast.  Landon and Keegan both loved the show. We had great seats in the 3rd row! Landon had been patiently waiting for this for 2 months since his birthday so he was beyond excited!  It was so fun to watch the boys and the show was really cute.  We have been listening to all the Super Why Live show songs since, and Landon usually acts out the show as they play.  It is too cute!

It is kind of hard to see Landon here, but he is standing in front of the stage with his Super Why shirt on and of course his mask and cape, also holding his Why Writer!!

 The boys with their capes on, all ready for the show to start!

 Here are a few pics from the show...

This is the best family pic we got!

Thanks again Grandma and Papa McQuality....we loved it!!

Catch-up

It's been almost a month since we've done any updates.  So we've got a few different things on here with 3 different videos and some pictures.  

The first thing we've missed was Kelsey's birthday.  Here's a picture of her cake.  3 layers of homemade (from scratch) chocolate cake with crushed Reese's PB Cups in-between the layers.  Covered in homemade peanut butter frosting and then topped with chocolate peanut butter ganache.  It was pretty good.  The icing and ganache didn't setup log enough before putting them on the cake, so it looks a little runny here.

The last Sunday of April Landon's Sunday School class along with the Kindergarten class sang "This Little Light of Mine" during the service.  He did a great job singing and doing the motions.

Landon also had Special Visitor's Day at school.  Papa McQuality got to come out to go to school with him on Thursday and stay and play for a couple of days.  Landon had lots of fun with the extra attention!

Landon & Papa making a Special Visitors craft

 All done!  The craft was two flowers.  One has Grandpa's finger prints for the petals and the other has Landon's.

Mommy & Daddy went to Special Visitor's Day as well. 

  The weather has been perfect here for the past 2+ weeks.  60-70 everyday with hardly any clouds.  We even got to eat outside a couple of times.  Here's Keegan eating corn on the cob for the first time.  He was a natural!!

Landon has now had 3 soccer games.  In his first game he scored 2 goals, and since he has scored 6 in the second and 7 in the third.  Not a bad average!!  Papa stayed through Saturday morning so that he could watch Landon play last weekend.  Here's a video of one of Landon's goals.

Feliz Cinco de Mayo (un poco tarde) - Happy Cindo de Mayo (a little late).  We celebrated that night with some Mexican food.  Landon had a crunch wrap, corn and chips and salsa.  Matt had fish tacos and guacamole and Kelsey had a taco salad.  Keegan ate a little of everything.  We even ate on special Spanish plates!
