Pet Parade

Thomas had a Pet Parade at his school and of course he wanted to bring Carl to introduce to all of the other Kindergartners.  He did such a good job and was so proud to show his dog off to his friends.

 Waiting for the parade (aka walking around a huge circle of children) to start.

 Thomas made sure to walk slowly so that everyone had a chance to pet Carl.

These 2 are best buddies!

Thomas and Mrs. Stewart

The Chamber of Commerce puts out a visitor's guide every year and BISD bought full page advertisement. It just so happens that Thomas is in the ad this year with his teacher Mrs. Stewart! The picture was taken back in September so I was beginning to wonder if they were going to use the one with Thomas. I guess the answer is YES!

 

Kindergarten Zoo Trip

Thomas and his Kindergarten classmates went on a field trip to the Zoo in Abilene.  Will and I took the day off and joined them for the fun!

River, Jonathan, Thomas and Jose waiting outside the zoo.

Same boys +Will.  They all loved the Map showing where all the animals lived.

One more quick pic before we were off!

At the lake checking out all of the HUGE catfish!

Time to meet the Giraffes!

The boys each had Giraffe food and got to feed them.  Their tongues are LONG and black!

Thomas taking a little break.

Looking at all the reptiles ~ not my favorite place to be!

Posing in front of the prairie dog statue ~ for some reason they all thought it was so cool!

The monkeys posing in front of the monkey cage!

LIONS!

AND TIGERS!

AND BEARS!! OH MY!!

Newspaper Boys

 On Saturday before Easter we saw this little teaser on the front page of the Brownwood Bulletin ~ 3 Reasons to buy Sunday's Bulletin.

Sure enough, the boys were in Sunday's paper with their fun bunny ears on!  So cute!

Easter 2012

After church we went to lunch at the Country Club with the Smith family and the kids had one last Easter egg hunt.


Gus found quite a few eggs ~ with a little help from his mom.
Gus showing off his M&M's I'm pretty sure Fritz didn't find a single egg ~ but it's not bothering him a bit!
Will and Thomas showing off the toys they got from their prize eggs.


Our best attempt at getting a picture of the Smith/Stewardson kids all together. Evan wasn't to thrilled with the idea!
Seriously. It should be against the law to be this cute!My handsome boys!
Our family ~ we are all very blessed!

Easter Ears 2012

The traditional Easter Bunny Ears pictures ~ I know the boys will eventually tell me they're too big for this anymore, but I'm going to do it as long as I can!
