Preschool Graduation!

Nicholas has graduated from preschool! Today we celebrated him in a closing ceremony at the Acton Coop. He started with this preschool class in January. He loved attending the Frogs class and enjoyed his teachers (Kelly & Emily). In Utah he attended the VIP preschool with Mrs. Bascom for the last 2 years. Thanks to all he is well prepared for kindergarten in the Fall! Yippee.

Kelly created a darling scrapbook for Nic document his last few months at school. I've compiled of few of those pictures from his book into this PL layout. What a great year!

And, of course... here are the end of year teacher gifts for Kelly & Emily.  I created the Tag from the Sprinkles of Life RMHC stamp set, Tree Builder punch and some BARC Wood paper. Nicholas signed the back of each tag and gave these gifts shyly to his teachers.

St. George weekend retreat

I drove home today from a fun filled weekend in St. George with mom. Girls weekend. No kiddos. I had a blast. We went down to attend Jill Olson's Fall Stampin' get away.

Mom and I drove down with Grandma Great Thursday night and dropped GG off at Julie's house in Cedar city. It was a fun drive chatting with mom and Grandma the whole way. I don't get to do this enough.

Friday, the day before the stamping event, we enjoyed a day of garage sales, thrift shopping, good food and a night at the movies. I did take a few photos of some cool things at Urban Renewal.

Saturday we both enjoyed a day full of stamping and chatting. We made around 15 projects. I didn't take very many project pictures but here are a few...

We spent the evening shopping some more and had a nice dinner at Benja's (Thai).

I made a few swap projects for the Stampin' event (most I posted earlier last week) I made one last-minute swap before I left for the event and that card won a prize ($25 gift certificate) woo hoo! I'll post a picture and supplies later this week.

A huge thanks to Leslie for helping Chris watch the kids so I could go down with peace of mind. Thank you!!!
