First Day of School -- July 23, 2009

Where did the summer go?  I don't know.  What I do know is that the new school year is already upon us and we are rested, happy and ready to get rolling this year.  Here's our annual photo of Hannah with longtime pal, Aimee. Hannah and Aimee met in kindergarten at Edu-Prize and have been great friends since!  Look at those amazing smiles -- ready for another fantastic year of learning and friendship and more!  The sky is the limit girls!

Here I am with my fourth-grader!  Wow!  Time sure does fly!  How did she get so big?!  Her future is so bright and we couldn't be prouder of her and her achievements!  Hannah is ready for big things this year.  She knows that if you believe, you can achieve!  We love her can-do attitude!  May God continue to bless our sweet little girl always.  We love you Hannah!

Spring Field Trip with Hannah's Class

The school year is not over yet, and we had just enough time to squeeze in another class field trip. I love field trips! This time we were off to the Arizona Science Center in downtown Phoenix to catch the final days of the "Dinosaurs -- Giants in the Desert" exhibit. This was perfect because Hannah's class is learning all about dinosaurs in this last quarter of the school year. Hannah absolutely loves going to the Arizona Science Center and this trip was more fun because she was able to experience everything with her friends and classmates. I was super excited to be able to ride on the bus with the kiddos and Ms. Beal. Well...I must say that my excitement dropped a little once on board the bus with 42 chatty, exuberant kiddos! Need I say more? Above you can see that Hannah and her dear, sweet friend, Sabrina, enjoyed their bus ride together. The dinosaur exhibit certainly did not disappoint us. It was pretty amazing and oh so cool. We also enjoyed many other hands-on exhibits at the Arizona Science Center. All in all, it was a wonderful adventure! Thank you Hannah for inviting me to join you and your friends. I had a great time!
