May Birthday Parties

Jackson is very social at school and has been invited to more birthday parties this year than any little boy I have ever known. All the little girls from his class love to play with him...and sometimes give him a little too much attention. Here are a few parties from May that we have all been to. Of course, Jordan is invited too and loves all his friends.

Midori's party at the new Aquatic Center

Alyna's swim party at her house

Thomas' Chuck E Cheese party

Cobra Soccer Party

Jackson's first soccer season has come to an end. They ended the season undefeated and Jackson had a great experience. Coach Tiffany was so positive each week and he looked forward to going to practice with her. They ended the season with a Chuck E Cheese party and were all given trophies. Jackson is so proud of his trophy and is sad soccer is over. We hope to join Coach Tiffany again next year.

Jackson's Preschool Promotion

Jackson had his Preschool Promotion from Ms. Bridget's class. He has had a great first year at school and has learned so much. Even though he was the youngest in the class (and may be in preschool for 2 more years), he mastered all the required standards. His progress report was perfect!

Some things Jackson can do: - Recite his full name - Tell you his full birthday (month, day, and year) - Knows his address and how to dial 911 - Can sing and say his ABCs and also identify all letters - Knows how to identify and count up to 100 - Has learned how to read using whole language and mastered the pre-primer sight words. - Knows all his shapes and colors (his favorite is aquamarine) - He loves skipping, hopping on one foot, riding bikes, and running - Can stand in a line, wait his turn, and shares unbelievably well at school (home is a different story) We are so proud of you Jackson and all that you have accomplished this year!

Jackson Gets His Gie

Jackson earned his gie for karate and we are so proud of him! He has worked hard to earn it (he had to make it through 8 weeks of paying attention) during karate class, and he did it. With his gie, he seems to be more focused and really taking a love for karate...actually we can't get him to stop "kiaing" at all.

Battling

With his friend Gigi

Happy Mother's Day

I love Mother's Day..although everyday is really Mother's Day around here. Today though is a day that Jerome makes it ALL about me! Flowers are always waiting for me when I wake up and the kids came parading in each with a bouquet and card. My favorite meal is breakfast, so when it comes to choosing, I always pick the Rio buffet. How can one resist every breakfast item imaginable, followed by lunch stuff and dessert. We shopped for a little while after and then came home for naps. The only bad thing about the buffet is your are still so full by the time dinner comes around, we didn't make it to the Cheesecake Factory. Chipotle still hit the spot at 9:00 p.m.
