Our Little Graduate

 We had another graduation to attend last week.  Our sweet little Avery graduated from preschool!!  She is truly growing up so fast, I can't stand it.  The graduation was sooo adorable!  I really can't say enough great things about the preschool program we enrolled her in this year.  Her teachers were so amazing, she made some great friends, and learned so many things from her ABC's, to writing her name, to her address and phone number, how to put on and zip up her coat by herself and so much more. 

 Ez and Greyson waiting anxiously for the graduates to arrive.

 Each Graduate got to design the balloon above their chair.  I asked Ave about her picture and she explained she drew a picture of herself holding a delicious doughnut from Paula's, with some mountains and a rainbow behind her.  That's my girl...drawing a picture of food!!
Singing one of the several adorable songs they performed.

 She did it!

 Ms. Kim read this cute questionaire aloud before each graduate accepted their diplomas.  Here were Avery's answers.
 Each graduate recieved this cute Preschool Diploma and the most adorable personalized scrap book filled with picures of Avery all throughout the year.  I love, love, love that scrap book.  It is such an awesome keepsake for her to remember all the fun times she had with her friends this year.
It was a great day!!

Ouch!!

 Greyson had his first big crash last week.  He tripped over a shoes and landed in just the right position to split his eye open on the back door.  When I went to pick him up, he was bleeding pretty good.  We went back and forth on whether or not we should take him to the ER for some stitches.  It stopped bleeding pretty fast so Ez ran up to Walgreens for some first aid stuff.  He cleaned it up and put on a butterfly bandage and some liquid band aid.  This week it is almost completely healed up and looks great thanks to Ezra's handy work.

Goodbye UB

 During graduation week the dental school held and open house for the friends and family of all graduating seniors.  As if Ezra hadn't seen enough of this place after the last for years, I made him give it a proper goodbye with pictures of the kids of course. 
 Ezra's name on the wall in his operatory.
 We took the whole fam, so Ezra's Dad and Linda could see the clinic where Ezra saw patients over the last few years.
 Ave sitting in his chair.
 Greyson lovin' getting sprayed in the face with the air hose.


 A future Dr. Boekweg.
 I made Ezra put on part of his "dentist outfit" and take a pic with Ave.  She got a little tense when he lowered the chair back and put the gloves on.  She's not a big fan of the dentist...even if he is her dad. 
A family pic in Ezra's Operatory, for commemorative sake!
