Page is officially a first-grader, after graduating from Kindergarten on Thursday.
She doesn’t really want to be. She was a bit sad after the ceremony. She had a great time in her first year at school. She will miss her new friends over the Summer. And she will miss her teacher, Mrs Valouch.
We got front-row seats at the graduation ceremony with Grandma and Grandpa, and watched with pride as Page received her certificate from Mrs Honda, Mrs Valouch, and the other Kindy teacher, Mrs Kovac.

We kept the birthday tradition alive with a BBQ for our friends. This year, the food was a fusion of Mexican and Southern, with smoked brisket and pulled pork on tacos with Prickly Pear and pickled vegetables.

Of all days to get the stomach flu, poor Page was not well on Halloween. She did get to dress up a few days earlier for her school’s Halloween Carnival. Love the bags Grandma Anne!!!!!! Although I think they ended up trading which one was supposed to be theirs. Classic Pagie style.

Page and Sienna went camping on Black Mountain.
Page was the official photographer.
On the way to the campsite we saw two big rattlesnakes. They were “kissing”, right on the path. We wanted to go around them through the grass, but then one of the snakes slithered off exactly where we wanted to go. So we had to go around them through the grass down the hill.
Can you see the gopher in Page’s pictures? She would pop her head up from her hole at the side of the bear box, look around, see Page’s camera, and then exit down her hole.

Someone looks pretty cute in a beanie… I might need to consider these might be good for kids, too!

We have probably harvested 50 pounds of tomatoes so far. Some have made their way to pasta sauce and others have made their way into Sienna and Page’s bellies. Sienna and I picked another 20 pounds today, she couldn’t resist shoving a few more in her mouth on top of a mouth full of kale. This kid is so funny.

For Page’s 5th Birthday she wanted to do a pool party with her friends and then a pizza party. We all met at Redwood Estates pool and swam up a storm then we came back to our house for pizza and cake. In the morning we opened her pressies. Sienna bought her a dinosaur “Raaaawwr!” Lots of legos, Barbies and her first American Doll, Grace. She was so excited. Fun day, such good kids.
