Time with Kango

Like in many schools the teachers try to teach the kids about responsibility.  Cameron's class has a class kangaroo (a stuffed toy named Kango) that gets to "go-home" with each kid and spend quality time with the kids.  This weekend was Cameron's weekend to keep Kango.  The interesting part is after Kango goes home with you the kids (parents) are asked to do a report or newsletter to talk about their time with Kango.....can you say extra work for the parents!!!!!!  

Kango went EVERY where with us this weekend.  The best part was because it's almost Christmas Kango got a chance to go to our family pre-Christmas dinner and help open gifts.  I'm sure if he were real he would say he had a blast!  Cameron did a great job watching, playing with and eve

n trying to feed Kango.  

Here is the newsletter that we put together for our time with Kango!

Christmas Party

I can't believe it but our baby boy is getting so BIG!!!  He and his friends are now the "big kids" and so they were able to do their first Christmas play.  I was so proud of our boobie!  All of the parents were SO proud of all of the hard work from the teachers and kids.  Can you say tears!!!!!!  They had BOXES of tissues there for the parents and you best believe they went to great use!

Jooking at 4!!!

This is how it starts!!!!  Cameron shaking 'em at 4!

Christmas Caroling

Similar to this time last year, the kids at the JCCC had their annual Christmas Caroling.  This year it was Cameron's class (the Pre-K kids) took the lead at the concert.  The kids were great!! One of Cameron's classmate's Hayes lead the show with a scripture (that the kids repeated).  Then it was time for the big show.  Cameron has been "practicing" for over 3 weeks.  It all paid off!

Flag Football Time

Football season is upon us..... we decided to go with flag football vs. Pee Wee for obvious reasons.  While Cameron was not as happy that he could not "tackle" is opponents,  he quickly realized it could be just as much fun.  

Today was our first practice and he got introduced to his coach and his new playmates.  Stay tuned for more pictures about how the season goes!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!

Boy, do we have SO much to be thankful for!!!!!  This year was like many others, an opportunity to not only thank God for all that he has done and continue to do for us but also to hear from other family and friends as to what they are thankful for.

We had a blast.  And can you say the food was GREAT!!!!  It's really a shame how much we eat over a 3 day time period.

Here are a few shots from the great weekend we had!!!!

Feast of Thanks 2013

It's that time of year again and time for the JCCC Feast of Thanks 2013.  Like every year the students welcomed their parents for a Thanksgiving lunch where they share what they are thankful for.  As you can see my little one was thankful for his mommy.....So sweet!!!!

At home we have been doing our 30 days of thanks.  Jante' and I always want to make sure Cameron knows that this is the season for giving and expressing how thankful we are for all of our blessings!
