March 23, 2012 CCA's Arts in the Commons

CCA had their annual Arts in the Commons where we as parents get to go to the school and listen to our kids sing and then buy their art work framed.  Kaylyn's class did one song with the recorder (and it was actually pretty good) and then sang two songs.  Ashlyn's class did two short songs with bells, a short song with spanish numbers (Ashlyn was Ocho, but she kept holding it up when they said Seis) and then a normal song.  Later CCA's Regal Choir sang three songs, which Kaylyn is in.  I'm really amazed at how far Kaylyn has come with her singing.  She sounds so sweet when she sings and yet still carries her voice across.  It was very cute!  Ashlyn drew a cat again and Kaylyn drew a tiger.  They are definitely better than last year, but they don't get their artistic talents from their daddy...unfortunately, they get it from  me :-)  I forgot to snap a pic of their art...sorry.

March 18th, Kaylyn Lost Another Tooth

So, Kaylyn has lost 13th teeth now, including 3 molars.  Ignore the teeth...they hadn't been brushed or flossed yet for the evening!  She was excited when she lost another one.  You can see a little bit of the molar popping out on the side.

March 17th First Basketball Games of the Season

Kaylyn and Ashlyn had their first basketball games of the season.  Ashlyn had hers in Indian Harbour Gym, while Kaylyn had two back to back at Holy Trinity Lower School.  Ashlyn and I volunteered at Trash Bash to pick up garbage around the park and along the street on Florida Avenue from 8-10 and then we headed to her game.  Kaylyn's games started just before Ashlyn's so I didn't get to see her games.  Kaylyn scored a basket during her game, which was awesome!  Ashlyn's got a ways to learn some of the ways of basketball, but she's trying.  Sorry the pictures didn't turn out so good...I have to learn how to use my camera for indoor basketball.  I tried different settings, but none of them seemed to work very well.  And Jason took our underwater camera, and let's just say that it doesn't take very good indoor pictures.

March 2, 2012 Kaylyn's Field Trip to St. Augustine

Kaylyn's 4th grade class went on a field trip to St. Augustine.  What a cool city to visit.  We took the trolley site seeing, we visited Fort Castillo de San Marcos, we visited the Old Jailhouse, and we visited the St. Augustine History Museum.  It was a lot of fun and I got to go for once!  Kaylyn and I did great together...I don't think we argued once!  It was a wonderful bonding day with my oldest daughter.
