Just a little something I made for Jesstine at work when we were working on Dr, Seuss activities.
Emmitt is growing and changing daily! His hair is getting longer. Daddy doesn't like it, but I keep putting a mohawk in his hair. Grandmom thinks it looks like Sweet Pea of Popeye fame! He is talking SO much more lately and cutting two more teeth. Twice he has peed in the potty without a potty seat or anything!!! I don't know if that means he is READY to pee in the potty more consistently, but twice is more than before!
A friend of mine ran a consignment sale with a few friends of hers last week. She said she made over $1000!!!! Her son is in Jesstine's class and I agreed to let him come over and play last week in return for a presale pass! These are some of the treasures I found!
Where's Emmitt??? There he is! The mohawk strikes again!
I hadn't seen my mom in two weeks (we live in the same town!!!). Stephen, the kids, and I decided to go to breakfast Saturday morning. We were there for maybe 15 minutes and lo and behold, my mom and step dad show up! We were able to get a table pulled up along side ours and they joined us! This boy was in HEAVEN!! Grandma brought him some little cars to play with too!
That day when we got home, we noticed that Jesstine was acting a little lethargic and just didn't seem herself. I checked her temp and sure enough, she had a fever! It was JUST like what Emmitt just got over! She stayed home from church the next day and still ran a fever off and on. She had a program on Monday, so we made the decision to take her in and get her checked out in hopes of getting a handle on it before Monday. Sure enough, she had a really raw throat. The doctor in the MEO was actually the doctor Jesstine went to when she was a baby until she was about 3. He was quick to treat her especially considering I had the same symptoms 4 weeks ago and Emmitt had just finished his round of antibiotics for what we assume was the same thing!
Jesstine woke up fever free the next morning so off to school it was for her! Meanwhile Emmitt had his last day of music class for this school year.
Jesstine earns marbles for doing chores each day. She puts the in a mug and when it is full, she gets a reward. This time she got a movie, "Wreck it Ralph!" Both kids LOVE it! This is how they look the entire time it is on!
Jesstine was well enough to go to her final preschool program. Get ready for picture and video overload!
The them was "Summer Fun" and the kids were told to dress for summer or the beach. Swimsuits and flip flops were not allowed. I had two clothing options for Jesstine. One was a dress; the other a tank with jean shorts. She chose the latter. And she was the only little girl in her class that wasn't dressed up! Oh well! Lesson learned! She was still SO cute and her tank was perfectly shiny on stage!
Just as they did last year, there were scenes set up so the kids had plenty of photo opportunities. We took advantage of all of them!
This little girl with Jesstine is the little girl she hit it off with at the meet your teacher night before school started. I didn't really hear much about her throughout the year, but it was obvious they liked each other! Just not best friends!
Kylie really wanted in on some of the pictures. So the rest prominently feature her. That is fantastic! I was able to get some great shots of these two best friends in their last year in the same grade. Kylie will be going to preschool for another year while Jesstine goes to Kindergarten.
One of my favorites from the night!
These were pretty cute too! Showed a little of the different personalities of the two of these girls! Opposites attract! I am excited to see how this friendship goes from here. Her mom and I are determined to still get the girls together to play and keep it going as best as we can!
Emmitt and Daddy playing a game before the show!
And of course the sister I never had came to enjoy the show with us! Emmitt enjoyed some lap time with Auntie Johnna (or Johnnaer as Jesstine calls her).
And the show begins!!
They called this the "Waving Welcome." This is what we have to train our elementary age music students NOT to do!
Actually participating in the movements and singing! SO proud of her and SO much different from the other programs we have been to!
And now for the videos.

We Love You Mrs. Underkofler!
(Mrs. Underkofler is the director of the preschool. She is retiring after this year. She has been involved with the preschool for its entire existence!So glad to hear that her assistant is stepping into her role next year. Although we won't be there for another three years (Emmitt has to wait a year longer and will be nearly 4 by the time he goes to preschool).
As per tradition, we went to Orange Leaf to celebrate a job well done.
Mr. Independent!
Jesstine wanted me to read her a book. For once I read to her instead of asking her to read to me!
And last but not least. This is what Jesstine's hair looks like after sleeping in braids for two nights! It was full and beautiful! She is growing up all too fast. She has decided that she wants short hair for the summer! :-(
In Him,
The Hutchins Family
