August 2012, Starting Preschool and Kindergarten

 Finally, all of my photos are officially blogged as of August 20, 2012!  YEAH!!!!
 Random summer thunderstorm.  Went from 100 degrees and humid to 65 degrees in minutes.  It even hailed!  Almost lost power as few times.  Our BBQ got moved indoors to the frying pan.  Still delicious!







 Not so happy for this photo.

 Kinder tour the day before school started.


 Water balloons with Julie!


 Ward activity with the community Sundance movie in the park.

 Isabella's first day of preschool and Alexander's 4th Day of Kindergarten.  He loves it!


Alexander's 5th Birthday Party!

 Mommy's cute Princess Animator's Collection Dolls.  I love em!





 Alexander and Mommy lived at Marc and Shaylyn's home in Rancho Santa Margarita for 2 weeks in July and then at the time share with Gordon and Leslie for a week in San Juan Capistrano.  Mommy taught a full time summer school enrichment program during those 3 weeks.  Alexander attended the kinder program for free.  It was great fun!  Daddy stayed in Beaumont with Isabella and potty trained her!  YEAH! (she's still working on perfecting the potty...)



 We went swimming at their neighborhood pool often.

 Alexander learned about ladybugs.

 Playing music





 One weekend we went home and celebrated Alexander's 5th Birthday with the Williams Family at John's Incredible Pizza Co.  It was awesome!  Thank you everyone!!!  A special thank you to Grandma Iottini and Aunt Evelyn for their generosity with supporting this birthday party.  We love you all!
