Graduation from Strawberry Patch!!!

Congratulations Maddison on graduating from Strawberry Patch! You learned to read, to count to 100, you know your A,B,C's, are fantastic at memorizing lines, sit well and listen well. All round a great student with a great report card!!!

 

Strawberry Patch Play

For the end of the year school play Maddison had speaking lines to educate us all about Deciduous forests. She remembered all of her lines, spoke clear and loud and made all of us very proud!!!

Gymnastics Graduation

Maddison worked very hard at gymnastics this year and was so proud to graduate with her certificate!!

Birthday Girl

I'm a bit behind with my posts... this is going back a few months...
Like any good birthday - celebrations should at least go on a week! Maddison had three celebrations.
The first was her actual birthday - and yes her hair was on fire and Dad managed to snuff it out with no major reprocussions.
The second was with family - this time hair was held back in place.
The third was with friends. The theme 'Tinkerbell' and Maddison was appropriately dressed similar to her favourite fairy and sporting her good pearls as when else would a girl of 4 wear her fine jewelery?

Happy Fathers Day Dad!

Following are 10 of the many reasons we love our dad so much:
1. He plays with us and dances with us
2. He loves to watch the Avengers as much as I do
3. He always tells me I am the prettiest girl in the world
4. He practices Soccer with us in the backyard
5. He is a great snuggler (Mom seconds this)
6. He cheers us on at our soccer games, at the ski hill and swimming pool
7. Makes home made pancakes and bacon every weekend and the best cheesy eggs in the world even on a school day (fathers day we made him crepes, rosti and his favourite breakfast sausage)
8. Takes us for drives in his cool car (and checked with the police first to see if it was ok!)
9. Set's off fireworks and let's us 'help' (OK this is for Dustind only and boy did he run after he helped to light the match ... of course Mom was yelling 'RUN Dustind RUN'). This is one even that Mom may not allow to happen again).
10. Let's us empty all of his wine 'samples' so that we can return them for the money every weekend (and when your Dad is in the wine business it adds up through the week).
