Kindergarten to 1st grade

First day of kindergarten......last day of kindergarten.

Moving Up...

The kindergarten "Moving Up" ceremony was really cute. Sweet songs and each child received a medal from the Principal, Dr. Bivins. We had a fun time visiting with Sam's friends before we all went to the park across the street for a family picnic.

Ice cream truck

As of this week we are on a regular route for an ice cream truck. Sam and Brice think they're in heaven. Tonight I gave the young driver a little tip....come after 6:00 pm so kids will have eaten supper! Thanks, dude.

1st lost tooth

Sam lost his first tooth on Sunday. Well, actually, he very bravely let Brian pull it. And, in case you can't tell, the big tooth is well on its way in - has been for over a month now. The not-so-wiggly tooth became quite wiggly after a Friday night kick in the mouth by the little brother. The Tooth Fairy visited and left Sam a two dollar bill.

Mother's Day

Proud

I am SO proud of my sister, Kate. After years of hard work she has completed her Master's Degree and is now a Nurse Practitioner....well, after she passes her Boards!

Muffins with Mom

The Friday before Mother's Day, Brice's school hosted "Muffins with Mom". As we sat there together, enjoying our muffins, Brice reached over and took my hand. We just sat there holding hands, not saying a word. God, I love that boy!

Field Day

Here they come! Buddy Walker is much harder than it looks!

Can you tell he's excited?

Passing the baton...

...and he's OFF!

Sam and his buddies.

Sam and his BEST buddy!

A little Cupid Shuffle

Tired...

PULL!!!!

1st place in 200 yd relay, 3rd place in Buddy Walker

Our star athlete ended the day by reading to his class.

Angels end the season

This was a fun season with a great bunch of boys. Brian gave out trophies (even got one of his own!) then we headed to DQ for ice cream on the coach!

Field trip and a little more t-ball

All of the kindergarteners went on a field trip to the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins. We took Sam there when he was two and a half, Brice was 2 weeks. At the time he couldn't say the name properly so we still call it the "Airplane Ship Plane Museum". I was lucky enough to join them and it was so much fun. The kids were SO good!

Mrs. Davenport loves her some Sam!


And Sam loves him some Ella! These two are best BUDS!!

Riding the school bus was one of the hi-lights of the trip.

These two kept us all entertained in the stands and kept the concessions folks very busy!

He's OUT!

Easter

We had fun dying eggs after a hot & sweaty afternoon at the ball field. Complete with eye-black!

Easter morning...

We even managed a family picture at church...thanks to a friend who brought her camera! I didn't dare take mine knowing full well I'd never wrangle these fellas into a photo.

Wrestling t-shirts were the biggest hit of the Easter basket!

Silly faces...left to right...Brice, Sam, Emma, Avery, Will and Nicholas

This is what the end of a really busy & fun day looks like.
