Hope to see you there!

This past Friday was a big event for me. It was the end of the year Pre-School show. We sang several songs and ended the show with cookies!

Next year, I begin Kindergarten, which is going to be a big change. School every day and lots more homework. I’m hoping I still get show-and-tell, as that is one of my favorite parts of school right now.

Our class is learning about the miracle of life. As part of the process, we get to see how eggs turn into baby chickens.

It was very exciting to watch, and I was even able to hold one!

I had another exciting Easter this year. We began our day at Church with Grandma Shelley, than headed out to Aunt Patti’s to spend the morning with Dad’s family. They have an egg hunt every year, and I really enjoy it.

This year was special, because Easter fell between Aunt Patti’s and Dad’s birthdays! This meant we got Birthday Cake as well. It was really good!

I ended the day visiting Grandpa Tom’s side of the family. More eggs were on the menu, and it was fun to see all the families.

It’s that time of year again! Not only did I get to see the Huskers Spring Game, I once again got my photo taken with some of the cheerleaders. This year, my little sister joined me in the tradition.

The team looked really good, and I know everyone around us was excited to watch them play.

I even got to shake hands with former Husker, Suh, which was pretty amazing!

This is my first season playing soccer. It was a lot of fun, even if I was not very good. I still enjoyed it, and hope to play again next year.

Mom, Dad, Ranae, and I spent the evening at my first Circus. I went with my friend Keith and his mother. It was a lot of fun!

I rode an elephant, a horse, and even got to hold a snake that weighed as much as I did!

The Circus was very exciting. I liked the lions and tigers a lot, and the acrobats were really fun to watch. I hope to go again next year!

Today, I was blessed with a little sister. Her name is Ranae and she is a special little lady. She is healthy and ready to play, so a big thank you go out to all my classmates and teachers who have been praying that Mom’s pregnancy would go well. Your prayers meant a lot to us!

I’m still kind of shocked that my sister grew in Mom’s belly! You can see some photos below. I hope you like them.

I was able to help Grandma Shelley paint the nursery for my baby sister who should arrive any day. Take a look at the completed photos of the nursery including some dolls that Mom made for her.

I had a lot of fun, even if I did get paint in a lot of places.

On December 11th, I took my first ATA belt test. I’m proud to say I passed. I’m also proud to say that I have moved out of the Tiny Tigers program and am now a member of the official ATA class for kids 6 and up.

My new instructor is Mr. Meysenberg. He’s a very good teacher and I have learned a lot.

Here are some photos from my testing. I’m sorry if they are a little dark. Dad could not come out to the floor to get good ones.
