Awards Day

Today was Awards Day and the last full day of school for Analynn. We were very proud of her this year. She got Alpha Honor Roll, Christian Service award, Honor Roll medal and Participant in Presidential Physical Fitness award (not sure about this last one). After school we went to sign up for the Library Summer Reading Program. Both of the kids were excited to get some books to start reading.

Proud to be an AMERICAN

Today Analynn was able to wear red, white and blue to school instead of her uniform. I asked her on the way to school if she knew what today was? She said it was Memorial Day and today was the day we prayed for the soldiers who died in the war. I told her Uncle Freddie had been in WWII. Analynn says "I did not know Uncle Freddie was a movie star. I saw him in the war on TV." Analynn has been watching a little too much History channel with her dad. I told Uncle Freddie what she said and he enjoyed it and started laughing. Next time he sees Analynn he is going to tell her about WWII.

Let's Play Ball

Yesterday we spent some of the afternoon at the ball park. Analynn is starting to bat and field the ball much better. Timothy has a harder time watching every game. He wants to play so bad. Analynn is enjoying playing but does not like the heat. She does not like me yelling at her to "hustle onto the field" or "get ready".

Who's at our slumber party?

Last night Rob put the kids to bed. When I went to check on them before going to sleep this is what I found. Analynn loves to nest. She has her things nesting all over my house. She can even nest in her sleep.

I want to be a Cougar

This is a picture of Timothy's 1st day of school at St. Timothy. Look how little he is. This was 2 years ago. Time has really flown by. Today was Timothy's last day at St. Timothy. Before he left for school this morning he told Analynn at 1 o'clock he would be a Cougar because he was going to MQP. His sister however informed him that he must first attend at least one day of classes to be called a Cougar. I am going to have 2 school aged kids next school year.

Teacher Appendix Week

This morning Analynn was ready for Teacher Appendix Week. Every day the will show their teacher how much they appreciate them with a different theme each day. Analynn said it was "teacher appendix week and hugs was the gift of the day". I told her it was "teacher appreciation" and not "teacher appendix" but what do I know since I am not in school anymore. This is a picture of Analynn and Ms. Paige. Analynn loves Ms. Paige. Ms. Paige has taught has instilled in her a love of reading that we will be forever grateful for. Thanks Ms. Paige you are the best!

A bigger straw hole

Analynn has lost her four front teeth over the last several months. The first two fell out in January. The last top two fell out the beginning of April. When she lost the last one she tells me "look how big my straw hole is now." Blake and Analynn lost a tooth on the same day. He told her he got $5 dollars from the tooth fairy and she said she got $10. With the teeth I think the truth was lost too.
