Copper or Wool

Zak and I celebrated our 7th anniversary yesterday. I found this and thought it was pretty funny.

About.com says:
7th Anniversary Traditional Gift:
Copper or Wool. Copper has long had a traditional meaning of prosperity, good luck, and good fortune. Couples who celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary can indeed celebrate their good fortune in finding one another.
The gift of wool represents the comfort, durability, security, and warmth that couples married this long give one another.

I can just imagine how happy Zak would have been if I gave him some copper or wool! Anyway, I do think it is true that we can "indeed clebrate our good fortune in finding one another". I couldn't be more fortunate. Happy Anniversary Honey! I love you!

Graduation (#2)

Ethan had his graduation ceremony for the Playroom Program (his other preschool) on Saturday.

Marching in. (His graduation cap looks more like a chef's hat!)

Receiving his diploma.

The happy graduate. He is so proud to have made it this far in life!

Ethan and Emeline
Does this look like a kid who is ready for kindergarten or what?
Way to go Ethan! We love you!

Be kind to your web-footed friends

We went to feed the ducks, but my boys had better things to do.... Sorry pigeons, but you are not safe anywhere within 100 feet of these guys. They love to chase birds just to watch them fly away.

This is nothing new. Colby learned how to yell at a bird before he even learned any words. His brother loves to set a good example!

Z is for Zoo

On Thursday we went with Ethan's preschool class on a fieldtrip to the Tucson Zoo. It was a beautiful day and it was fun to get out an have a fun day with the kids.

The boys and Ethan's teacher, Ms. Louise. She is awesome and the kids love her!

Soft

Zak and I went and played softball with our ward last night. It was really fun to play. I don't think I have played in a real game since my freshman year of high school. Anyway, after a not so intense game, I am actually sore today. I guess my throwing muscles don't get used often enough. Pretty sad, I know. I must be getting old.
