Gymnastics Show

Today was the end of the year performance for both children's gymnastic classes. What a treat for mom and dad! They have come so far and love going each week. We are taking this summer off. Our medals will be a happy reminder of the fun we had tumbling each Wednesday.

Cool action shots. She has become a big fan of the bars. He wouldn't even jump into the foam pit in September and today he swung in alone.

Preschool Graduation

Friday was our sweet girl's preschool graduation. She was sooo excited about her special day. She is so ready to move on to Kindergarten! We had all of her grandparents here to celebration with her!

Look at her holding her "diploma"... such a big girl!

The cap and gown really were a extra touch that made her look all grown up!Grandma treated us all to lunch afterwards... she picked her favorite place... Amante Pizza. We were there after lunch and the owner has seen us many, many times so he let the children make their own pizza (the restaurant does this every Monday night) which was an added treat!

Fun at Preschool!

The children's preschool had an end of the year celebration today. We all had a blast! We started in her classroom where the children sang a wonderful song... daddy showed up as a surprise... look how happy she was! The gym was filled with fun things to do...

make foam hats...

snow cones...

and the picnic was moved inside due to weather concerns. It was a lot of fun! We are so thankful for our church and preschool!

First and Last day of 2009 Preschool

Today was the last day of preschool! Here they are in September on the first day of preschool. And today before the last day. He looks a bit less timid and is. She looks and is much more sassy!

Happy Summer!

Family Photo

Here is our first picture with all 5 of us! It was sent to us today...pretty cool!

Fun at the Lake

On Sunday, Grandma's family had a reunion at Kerr Lake. We all had a blast. Coming from a beach girl I must admitt the lake was nice. The children enjoyed the water, their first boat ride (sorry granddaddy - I always thought you would do this but the opportunity arose and we couldn't pass it up!), her first wave runner experience and a fun filled day. All smiles as they boarded the boat.

We weren't sure we wanted her in the lake... but as you can see there was not stopping our fish!

He took about an hour on the dock before he decided to swim with daddy and big sister. That's my boy - always cautious!

Once in, he loved it too!

Look at her! She was loving it! Daddy even let her drive!

Hopefully it won't be 10 years before there's another get reunion!!!

Uncle John

Today we got to see one of our favorite musicians live! He played at a local, community theater (NRCAT). He plays the cutest, child friendly songs! Daddy and the children "discovered" him a few weeks back and we have listened to his CDs many, many times making today extra special. They enjoyed being on stage with boom sticks and Uncle John.

We all enjoyed the show but he especially did. Singing, clapping and ...

flashing that awesome smile the entire time! Thanks Uncle John.

He's coming back June 6th if you are interested.
