Anyhow, here's what we did for the end of the school year stuff! Our elementary school doesn't do Kindergarten graduations anymore. Instead they put the kiddos in a cap and gown and take a school picture of them, get you to order one of your child, and (for parents like me who've never done this before) trick you into thinking your going to a graduation for them! Not so. I was really disappointed as were a lot of other parents in Taylan's class. But it's okay! One of the parents generously threw an end of the year party for his whole class and that was a lot of fun... They had two bounce houses, pizza, hot dogs, and cupcakes!
i love this one :) 
these aren't all his classmates, just the ones that were there! 
And did you know there's a difference between PRE-SCHOOL and PRE-K ?? I did not know that til this year! I know. you're thinking really?? how could you not?? well, I didn't. Anyhow, at Kanyon's pre-school, he was in pre-school until earlier this year. They teach both there and had tons of pre-school kids and not too many pre-k, so they moved some of the kids up and Kanyon was one of them. Today, the two pre-k classes had a little 'graduation' of sorts. They had cute little caps that they made, and little diplomas the teacher made forthem. His said WELCOME TO PRE-K. They shook the teacher's had, got their diplomas, and did a little walk. It was so sweet. And with all the parents there, Kanyon was shy as usual!!
So what are we going to do this summer?? Well, we signed up the whole family at the YMCA. It really doesn't cost us that much. For us, it's the same amount as ONE person signing up at a regular gym. They have a pool, a gym, workout equipment, raquet ball courts, karate, and other sports. Well, we missed the deadline for basketball and are choosing NOT to do baseball because it is just takes up way more time than we are willing to sacrifice as a family. However, we did get the boys into karate!! *yay!* Tuesday was their first lesson and Taylan did awesome!! Kanyon was a little shy and quit after about 10 minutes. So tonight is the second lesson and we are going to step out of the room and watch from a window so that maybe Kanyon will stay in it for the whole 30 minute lesson! I think this will be good for both of the boys!! And we plan on taking them swimming a lot this summer and getting a zoo pass and going there a lot too! And starting Monday, Taylan will have swim lessons for two weeks, then Kanyon the next two weeks. Taylan informed me walking home from school the other day that he wanted to swim "without anything" all by himself, so that he "don't drown".

I plan on keeping them busy this summer! Let's just hope my plan works!!
