First & Last

I always love to compare how my kids look on the first and last day of a school year. 

Here they are on the first day in August 2013...

And the last day... May 2014 

Cuties!! 

Pre-k graduation

Hannah has been in Mother's Day Out at her school since she was 2. I've seen her turn from a baby to a big girl while attending her school. She "graduated" pre-k a couple of weeks ago and it was a bittersweet moment! She has come so far and is such a smart girl! 

She looked so adorable in her cap and gown! Flash forward 13 years and I'm going to be a wreck! An added bonus at school is that for the past 2 years her teacher has been Aunt Jenn. And, her BFF and cousin, Marley, has been with her from the beginning. We are so sad these two girls won't be at the same elementary schools. 

Proud daddy! 

We are excited to start kindergarten and are so pleased with what Hannah has learned during her years of pre-k. 

Lego land

About a month ago we headed to Lego land for our first time with the Hayes crew. Ethan was in heaven. He is obsessed with Legos! I'm waiting on the day that he can build them himself! 

Ethan's favorite spot was racing his creations. There is a little center to build your car/train/motorcycle and then race it down a ramp. He loved it! 

He was amazed from the beginning. 

Hannah enjoyed it too. There was a big princess castle made from Legos and she spent a lot of time in that.  

She also loved riding the little roller coaster. The faster you peddled the higher you would go in the air. It was fun! 

We will definitely be doing this again! 

Dance recital

Hannah had her 2nd dance recital in April. She loved everything about it! She loves dance class and especially loves the recital part. She also loved that her costume was purple. 

Cutest ballerina I've ever seen! Marley was in her class again this year and Meagan also had her first dance recital. Love these precious girls! 

I was a backstage mom so I had the best seat in the house! I got to see Hannah right before she went out on stage and she gave me a big thumbs up right before the curtain opened. 

So proud of this sweet girl!
