Some of Kimbri's Preschool Projects

Here are a few of Kimbri's preschool projects from throughout the year. I tried to be good and remember to take pictures of all her preschool artwork, and I'm sure I forgot to take pictures of some of them, but here is what I do have to help her remember some of her year of preschool.

Going on a bear hunt map (top right)

Peter Piper Pizza field trip- in the kitchen learning how they
make pizzas! Then they got to make their own little personal
size pizza :)

Kimbri's "All About Me" poster for when she
was the star of the week at preschool.

Not a preschool thing but Kimbri loves
playing with these shapes and makes really
cool designs all by herself!

Sea Life Aquarium

Right before moving we took a trip to the Sea Life Aquarium. It was really fun and the kids had a blast... but, we definitely would NOT have gone if we could've avoided it. Rick had asked a doctor that he had previously rotated with to write a letter of recommendation for the upcoming residency applications. She said she would. Great! Well after several months of her forgetting or just not getting around to it, or whatever it was, she finally responded with, "How about we meet up at the aquarium with our kids so I can chat with you and be able to write a better letter." She had no idea we were literally going to be packing up a trailer and moving just a couple days later and we had a million other things to do. Not to mention we are totally broke med students. Did she not remember how much med school costs?!?! But we felt like we couldn't say no because we didn't want to make things awkward... so we forked over the money and went. 

Like I said, it was fun and really neat (Garrett LOVED it because he is so in to anything ocean related) but I had a hard time being there for as long as we were because of how much we still needed to get done before moving! Yikes! Here are some pictures I snapped while we were there:

Kimbri's Preschool Graduation

I seriously can't believe that we are already to this point. Kimbri has gone and decided to grow up on us! Is she really going to start kindergarten this fall?! This year she went to Ms. Geri's preschool in a nearby neighborhood. It was really good for Kimbri to have this social and academic prep before kindergarten! Originally we thought she would be having full day kindergarten so I wanted her to have some king of classroom experience before starting a full-blown day of school. Well, we obviously are moving to Utah now where she will only have half-day kindergarten, but I think it was still really good for her to have the preschool experience! She has done great and I am so proud of her!

All the kids watching the preschool video.

I don't remember what he was eating or
what was going on here... but it was in iPhoto
on the same day as Kimbri's graduation, so
here is Garrett :)

Our Last Trip to the Riparian Preserve

We have spent many hours at the Riparian Preserve. It is right next to the library and so we would often go the library and then walk around the preserve, see the ducks, play on the playground, dig for dinosaur bones and enjoy how pretty it is! It was only a couple miles away from our house and the perfect place to get outside and away from the house once in a while. 

This was always the favorite tree to climb in!

Seriously such a happy baby!

Kimbri decided to kick off her shoes and take
a rest in her favorite spot with a sippy of milk.
