dance pics

I was really impressed with the dance, picture taking process, this year. They took pictures @ a studio right next door. Everyone was soo organized and they scheduled picture time during their regular dance time, which was VERY convenient! We got them back the next week and they did a great job (I think). Isn't her costume so cute? After watching dress rehearsal yesterday, I am even more happy with the costume SHE got. SOme of the others...hhmmGrandma and Grandpa, we will have more pics after the dance recital this Saturday!

Preschool Graduation

Wednesday evening Ame had graduation.

It was just a simple, cute, little "pirate" program.

The kids sang a few wiggles songs (I think the song choices could have been better, but whatever) and then they talked about each of the kids... as they got their certificates
Ash makes for a real CUTE pirate, don't you think?!
Ame and her teacher, Ms. Mandy
(what a job-and she did it so great!)

Here are some of her favorite friends.

And several of the student teachers

(Ame really liked the idea of having all these BIG sister type girls around-

they were really cute with the preschoolers)

They provided a sloppy joe dinner after the program, which I thought was VERY nice, considering they have 2 classes of 16+ students and then to feed their families too!

Ame has had a fun time at pre-school this year and has been such a BIG helper.

But she is definitely READY for Kindergarten in the Fall!!
