Police Station Field Trip

Chad's preschool took a field trip to the Tempe Police Station last Monday for a little adventure! (Ms. Tiffany's husband is a police officer) When we got there Chad was a little intimidated but warmed right up. We went into the 911 dispatch area, briefing room, we got to play in the swat car and police car and see all kinds of police weapons and protection! It was so much fun!

911 Dispatch Center

When we went into the 911 dispatch center the dispatcher was showing us how she could zoom in on backyards to see if everything was okay and Chad spoke up and said "Can you see my backyard?!" and then proceeded to tell the dispatcher his address and what city he lived. Needless to say, he had everyone laughing.

The Class

Daddy even got in on the action and put on the swat gear to show the class!

Scripture in Primary

April 21st

This cute boy was asked to give the scripture in primary! When they called his name up to read the scripture he immediately shot his hand in the air like "That's me!" and turned to look at me to come help him...when he got up to the stand to read I could see him looking around not so sure at the crowd but he did an AMAZING job and repeated (quietly) every word after me. I was such a proud mommy when he finished! I still can't believe he is old enough to give the scripture in primary!

Camping

Alan and Chad have been talking a lot about camping and camp fires recently so we decided to take a quick overnight trip up to Windy Hill campground off of Roosevelt and sleep under the stars! Chad was beyond excited to camp. When we got there we set up our tent and got our campsite ready for the night. We took a walk to the water and came back to our camp and roasted hot dogs and bratwurst and then smores. Chad LOVED every minute of it! He was so excited to sleep in the tent in his Lightening McQueen sleeping bag! We had a great time!

Preschool Bake Sale

Chad's preschool had a bake sale last week for their families and it was so fun to see! The kids helped Ms. Tiffany the day before measure and make the baked goods and the next day all the parents/families came to buy baked goods from the kiddos. Chad was so excited to help us pick out our yummy treats and more excited to take our money and put it in the cash register!

Such a cute and fun time!

Swim Lessons

Swim lessons are officially here for the summer. It amazes me to see how well Chad swims this year in comparison to last year. We get to go swimming with our cousins Savannah and Tanner and our friends from school Hadley and Cohen!
