Cole in the Spotlight

WILLIAM “COLE” FREEMAN:

Cole is always very good at befriending new students. Ever since the first day cole came to class he asked me everyday “are we going outside today?”

William “Cole” Freeman is our 4 year old that never slows down. He gets up before sunrise and does not stop until well after sunset. Cole is our first child and it has been such a joy to watch him grow over the years. When Cole was about one year old, we decided to take him to 4 July breakfast and parade. To our surprise he cried the whole time because the of the Police and Fire truck sirens. Not even the candy made him happy!
When Cole turned two, he became a big brother. He thoroughly enjoys being the big brother and the ruler of the “toys”. As all siblings, he only wants the toy Cooper has. He loves being in the bath tub, swimming pool and any other type of water. In the summer, he enjoys being out in the sun riding his bike, playing on our swing set and jumping on the neighbors trampoline.
Since Cole has been in preschool, we have seen him grow in so many ways. When he gets home from school, he lists off the things he has learned and we do the ritual of placing the accomplishments of the day on the refrigerator. He is our pride and joy (even when he never stops) and we cherish all of the laughter and joy he has brought to our lives.

Brinley in the Spotlight

BRINLEY AYRTON:

Brinley has been my neighbor for a few years and I have absolutely loved having her join my preschool. She has been such a good friend to Safi. She has such an amazing personality. I have been overwhelmingly impressed with her memory skills. Mostly though I can always count on Brinley to notice my fashion.
“I love your hair today Banu!” she would say...”and cute hat!” and, “pretty flip flops”.
Brinley quote: “I can design my clothes by drawing them!”
I hope Im one of the first to get a Brin original ;)

Brinely Ayrton just turned 5 years old in November.  She has attends preschool three times a week and loves going and seeing her school friends and learning new and exciting things.  She loves her teacher Banu and has such a good time with her classmates.
 
She loves to be around grown ups and is always peeking around the corner from her bedroom after we put her to bed to see if she is missing anything exciting.  She has great ears and you really need to be careful about what you say in front of her (no matter how quietly you say it).  Even spelling things in front of her is starting to fail! She has a great memory and rarely lets you forget something without a helpful (sometimes!) reminder.
 
Brinley loves horses, playing dress up, riding bikes, jumping on the trampoline, going to the park and being with her friends and family.  She also loves drawing, sledding, going to visit her grandparents and helping her mom and dad around the house.  She has the best sense of humor and is always coming up with funny things to say.  The thing that we like best out Brinley is how kind and helpful she is.  We can always count on her to help make her bed, hang up her clothes, clean her room, and look after her brother Bridger. 
 
Brinley had been such a blessing in our lives and we are thankful for such a beautiful, happy and healthy girl.

Rylee in the spotlight

RYLEE JOY JOHNSON:

Rylee Joy Johnson was born December 28, 2004 in McMinnville, Oregon.  She was our first child and we were so excited for her to come into this world.  She was such a amazing baby!  Watching Rylee grow up has been such an adventure.  I have loved every step of it.  She is so smart and surprises us every day with her new knowledge and how fast she catches on to things.  I'm so excited to watch her exceed in school and accomplish so much in her life.  When Rylee was 2 1/2 we had her sister Taylor.  Rylee is such a great big sister and is always so concerned for her sister.  She is very patient with her and is right there to help her and make sure she is happy.  Some of the things I love most about Rylee is her great ability to make friends easily, her concern for other people and always wanting them to be happy, her sweet personality, her quest for knowledge and her love of life.  She is such a fun person and we love her SO much!

Rylee loves every activity, song, or project. I can always count on her to be a good example of participation. Rylee is always on the move when we are on the rug, she likes to try out every spot. Rylee quote: “these are some crazy names”, referring to the composers
