What a fun day at the elementary today. Kindergarten had their rodeo and it was hilarious. Jake was the very first kid to perform an event. That's a lot of pressure. Especially when you're as shy as he is. He did a great job, but he faced his teacher most of the event becuase I think he felt more comfortable looking at her rather than the crowd. The first video is Jake riding his Bucking Bronco!

Video of the kids running in for the opening assembley

The crazy chicken dance. That is Jakes teacher in the grey shirt and the principal in the brown telling the kids what comes next.

And here is what happens to five year olds when their event is first and they have to watch the remaining 40 minutes....They start to get bored!

Jake dropped his hat at least 6 times. I have tons of pictures of him being bored but for some reason all of them are blurrey. At one point he had his horses head sticking through the bars next to him.

The Pledges.

In third grade, they had the Fairy Tale Ball. This was the cutest thing ever. The teachers and kids all dressed as fairy tale characters. The teachers paired the boys and girls into couples and announced each couple by name and character as they entered. Then, the kids did ballroom dancing. PRECIOUS! Bradley was excited because his teacher knows about his crush, and she paired him up with K! Here is video of him dancing with K. They practiced this for weeks.

When the kids weren't dancing, they were allowed to sit down and have a snack. Bradley and K were the only ones at there table and what's funny is they barely said a word to each other the entire time. I think they had some short pointless conversation about the dinner mints HA! But I did catch her many times just staring at Bradley....TOOO CUTE! PS this is not K's real hair...she has on a wig.

I love this picture. K is taller than Bradley and it was really hard for him to spin her. When he spun her here, his elbow hit the little girl in yellow's plate and knocked her cookie into her punch and her cake on the floor. He didn't even know he did it because he was concentrating so hard. I did help the little girl get more food. :)

The teachers asked the parents to cut in and dance with their children so here I am dancing with Bradley.
