Last Day of 2nd Grade

Citizenship Award

Kai received the Citizenship award for his class today at an awards ceremony. I was so proud of Kai. His teacher said some nice things about him only being a few months but being such a great addition to their class. 

Nine

Kai is nine today! I can't believe he is already 9. And, by the way this week is CRAZY with all of the end of school stuff and birthdays. But lots of excitement around the Becker house. Kai woke up and got a new outfit for school, Kora picked it out. 

 He opened two more gifts after Kali woke up to watch.

for dinner he requested his favorite meal 

chicken and broccoli filled crepes

and I made triple layer brownies for dessert

Yesterday he had a school performance of "Journey to Outer Space" musical. It was soooo cute. I've never seen him participate so much in a musical performance. He said he likes his music teacher. He was singing and doing all of the moves. It was pretty funny that he was in the front and center. 

 Kora really enjoyed watching it and Yaya and Grandma Kathi came too.

 Here he is with his good friends from school. After this he went to Alek's house to hang out with all of them. Kora got to go too and was pretty excited to be with all of the boys. I am so glad that Kai made such good friends so fast at Hidden Hills. 

Husky

Kai switched schools after spring break to Hidden Hills. He's a husky now and VERY happy! He has a nice teacher, lots of new friends and can play sports on the playground.

 

Inferno Spring Break Champs!!!

Lately....

I've been trying to sub two days a week so Kora spends time at my parent's house and my Mom took these cute pictures of her playing. 

 Here we are in the van waiting to pick Kali and Kai up from school.

 Kora LOVES going to her preschool class. Her teacher said she is such a good girl.

 We went hiking last week with my friend Heidi who I've known since 7th grade. 

 Kali was such a good helper with the little girls. 

 It was such a beautiful day & we could even see snow on some of the mountains to the east

 today is Cardinal's spirit day at school so the kids are all dressed up in Card's gear

 Kai is SO excited for the game on Sunday. Last game he made us all these cardboard hands to wear during the game. 

First day of Winter Break!

Today was very exciting. We got to sleep in and be lazy in the morning. I got a phone call from my doctor saying that I am clear of any infections. First day of Winter Break!!!

We spent the afternoon at Anthem Park

 I must have told Kora to stay off the rocks 5 times but this girl just loves to climb

 waiting for the train

 and a stop at the library
