The First Grade Healthy Picnic

Last week Lukas had his first parent event at school, the Healthy Picnic. He has been learning all about the food pyramid and how to make good food choices. They ended the unit with a picnic where each first grade class brought food from different food groups. They also made a human food pyramid with all of the first grade classes each representing different food groups on the food pyramid. When I get a copyof the picture I will post it.

We also visited the school Pumpkin Patch.

Our new little 'Pumpkin"

This is Lukas and his friend Allie at his 3rd birthday. We moved to Qatar at the same time and lived next door to the Gahr's at our first compound Plaza Gardens. We moved across town from them for almost 2 years, but we got lucky and have lived down the street from them for the last 1 1/2 years at Qipco!

Here they are now, in 1st grade. It's amazing how time has flown!

Riding bikes

Guess who can pedal a trike now!

Isaac has mastered pedaling and steering now! Yay!

Of course Annelise wanted to enjoy the beautiful day and ride her bike too!

At the beach!

We had a great visit with Grandma Candi. One of the things we did was go to the beach! We are fortunate that it is still in the 90's here!

We roasted hot dogs, and marshmellos.....

And played on the swings.....

Elijah's first trip to the beach

Happy 3rd Birthday, Aliyah!

Wow! I can hardly believe Aliyah is already 3!

We celebrated a little bit early so Grandma Candi could be here.

She had a great time opening her gifts......

And eating her little cakes!

One pooped out party princess! We love you Aliyah!
