Tangled

November 27, 2010
We took Miss Mila to her first movie today - Tangled. What a wonderful movie...I absolutely adored it. Mila however was not as impressed! She sat patiently and in awe of the big screen for about 45 minutes of commercials, advertisements and previews. When the movie began, she put on her 3D glasses, ate her popcorn and drank her water quietly. After 15 minutes of the film...she decided that she had had enough of that! Apparently the stairs were calling her name, "Mila, climb me!" Thankfully Daddy (my Flynn Ryder) came to the rescue and took her on another journey while Gannon and I enjoyed the remainder of the movie.

Goodbye Dear Friend...See you in Europe!

November 6, 2010
This is one of my favorite people in the entire world - Tara! My dear friend is moving to Germany...I'm so EXCITED for her, but extremely sad I won't see her everyday. Tara is one of those rare friends that totally "get you". I'll miss having her to bounce ideas off of, having her to calm me down in crazy circumstances, and having her to share those jokes only we got.

I guess I'll learn how to skype after all!

Butte Vista Fall Festival 2010

October 22, 2010
Tonight was the Butte Vista Fall Festival. We began the evening setting up our scarecrow scene for Mrs. Hale's class (Ding Dong the Witch is Dead was the theme). The munchkins were played by each and every student in Mrs. Hale's class. And of course, Glenda was played by none other than Mrs. Hale. We had a great time putting this scene together.

Gannon LOVED the rock climbing wall, bingo and candy bar walk the most. We enjoyed seeing a lot of friends and having a wonderful evening of conversation and fun.

1st School Field Trip

October 13, 2010
Today was Gannon's first school field trip. The Butte Vista kindergartner's visited the Sutter High School Pumpkin Patch that was put on by the FFA. Gannon decorated a cookie and a treat bag, made a walnut necklace and an Indian head dress, took a hay ride, picked a pumpkin and played tons of games where he won loads of candy and treats. Gannon had a great day with his friends, and was even blessed to see a few of his "old" friends there from NAPS. I'm pretty sure that riding a REAL school bus was one of Gannon's highlights of the day.
