Xavier Flying His Kite

Today we had a break from the heat, it was awesome. Our house is located near some small mountains, so we get some pretty good winds going every couple of days. Today was a perfect day to fly.

Xavier said “You thinkin’ what I am thinkin’?”

To that we reply “No, what?”

“Let’s go fly my kite!”

I don’t blame him for wanting to take part in this most glorious day. Being coupe up in the house because of heat for the last three can’t be any fun for a hyper-fun four year old. He spent most of his day outside. He went to a car show with Papa Honey and he had a bubble party with Mama Julie. Today was quite well round for the first cool day. Tomorrow….the quad!

Rachel Flying Her First Kite

I just wanted to let you all know that we adults were not left out of the fun kite flying. Rachel had the chance to fly a kite for the first time and she didn’t even crash it! We are so proud of her, she is growing up so fast.

Aaron Getting in Some Kite Flying Action

Aaron also got to fly some too. He was getting jealous that he couldn’t find his kite but Xavier was kind enough to let him borrow his for a while.

Xavier Making French Toast

X’s loves to help in the kitchen, it doesn’t matter what I am making. For being only four he know his way around. He was pretty excited the other night ’cause I let him be in charge of flipping the french toast and putting on the pan to go into the oven. He did a great job. He did most of the flipping by himself and only needed a little help. He did a great job making sure that toast didn’t touch in the pan and I think he only burnt two pieces. Not bad for a first timer!

Moving The Toast

Super Maybe!

Last night Xavier had Rachel help put his Superman cape on Maybe. Xavier and Maybe proceed to run around the house as super heroes. Maybe did quiet well as a side kick, she came when ever she was needed. Xavier would yell “Super Mimi’s on the way!” Maybe was close behind.

(Just so you all know the dog’s name IS Maybe, but Xavier says that is to hard for a little dog to bark. So Xavier has called her Mimi since the day we brought her home. Hey as long as the dog comes when she is called I am good.)

Xavier Rockin' Out

I thought I would share Xavier’s morning air guitar session before preschool. Don’t forget to notice the rock star hair.

First Day of Preschool 2008

Xavier went back to preschool last month. Both of us were so excited but for different reasons. I think it is nice to have a little quite time once in a while, even though I miss him by the end of the three hours. He was looking forward to having fun with his teachers, who are great friends of ours, and the new kids that would be in his class. He always tells me that he likes new things.

Last week Mrs. Nikki had her baby, just a tad early, and I was able to go in and help with the class so that Mrs. Heidi didn’t have to control a very full preschool all on her own. There was another mom who also volunteered for the day. X thought it was great that I was going to be there all day. I was helping with the 3 year olds. I have a new appreciation for my friends and the fact they are sane after each day. I guess that goes to show you that a teacher is one of the best people in a child’s life.
