Bye Bye Preschool

In the middle of all Billy's graduation excitement Cooper finished preschool. They celebrated with a family pot-luck. It was a little sad, he has gone there for 2 years and has had a great experience, we will miss that place. But he's ready to move onto kindergarten. Waaa our baby is growing up!

HE DID IT!!!

Billy graduated last night. I was a proud mom sitting there watching him. It was so great going up to him after - he was stoked! I loved that he was so proud of himself. It was a tough road getting there and such a reward for him. CONGRATULATIONS BILLY!! Class of 2010

(this one is for you grandma patti - sorry you couldn't make it but we will see you soon)

Prom

Billy got all dressed up and headed to the San Francisco Bay for his senior prom. He went with a group of great friends and they had a blast. They ate and danced on a bay cruise. Only 3 more days of school! Let the countdown begin.

The gang...all the girls in blue he has been friends with since 1st grade.

Parade Time

It was time for Cooper's school annual Bike Parade. An event held each year to spare the parents the chaos of having a float in the local Apple Blossom Parade which is a huge event in Sebastopol (thank you Tiny Tots). Cooper was so excited he got to ride his new bike in the parade, last year he rode his scooter this year he was at the front of the pack on 2 wheels. They make a few laps around the park then its back to school for some popsicles and playing.

Here they come...Cooper's head is peeking out right behind the banner.

What?!

Popsicle time...yum yum

Pulled!

Well...as predicted, Cameron ended up having to go have both his front teeth pulled. Despite Eddies best efforts to loosen them up, they just weren't budging. We finally gave in and made the appointment. Since they were having to numb him to get the one loose tooth out they went ahead and took them both. He was such a champ and it ended up being no big deal. Cameron did decide that after all that numbing, nitrous & nerves he went through he didn't want to give the teeth up to the tooth fairy. Luckily for him she still paid him a visit and left him some cash (which Cooper found under Cameron's pillow in the morning). One of the new front teeth is already starting to poke through. Bye-bye baby teeth!
