Keeping up with the Kosters: July 2011

Catching up!

I was really behind on the blogging, so I adding several posts. Please scroll down to see them all. Hopefully I can get caught up more often! Here are several for now

Jake's last day of school party

Well, Jake finished pre-k and will be a kindergartener next year! Wow! I can't believe it! They had a outdoor pizza party. They played with water, hula hoops, balls, and bicycles. It was so much fun and Ben and I got to attend too!

Cagle's Dairy Field Trip

Our school went on a field trip to Cagle's Dairy Farm. They have a huge bouncy thing to jump on, farm animals, and a hayride. It was very hot, but also very fun!

Muffins with Mom

We also had Muffins with Mom at my school. I love these little events they have at my school and so glad Ben and I get to do them together.

Doughnuts with Dad

Mine and Ben's preschool had Doughnuts with Dad. Lee was able to come and it was very nice. We had a little breakfast, including doughnuts. Ben even gave his daddy a picture magnet of himself that he decorated.

Jake's field trip to the Nature Center

Jake's class went on a field trip to the Chattahooche Nature Center in May. I was so fortunate to be able to go with him even when it was cancelled twice. It was lots of fun. We walked around, had lunch there, and then were given a demonstration with some live animals.

Easter

This Easter, my cousin Chad and his family were visiting from Thailand, so we went to my aunts house and had a birthday party/Easter egg hunt and cookout! It was Chad's son and daughter's birthday recently, so we celebrated. The kids had a great time! I remember hunting eggs with my cousins when we were little at my grandmothers and now our kids are hunting. We also spent Easter at my Granny and Papa's house eating dinner. The boys decorated eggs at our house. They loved dyeing them and putting stickers on them.

Spring Break Destin

I have been very behind on blogging, so I thought I would try and catch up!

In April, we took a little trip during Spring Break. We thought we would head down to the most beautiful beaches ever in Destin, FL. The sand is so white and the water so blue! IT was gorgeous, but a little chilly too! We had a great time! The boys loved playing in the waves and swimming in the indoor/outdoor pool. We also went to a little carnival, a playground called Pirate Island, and we even fed alligators!
