End of the Year School Program

Stafford had his end of the year program at school and it was so cute. Of course any parent would say that. I have been so pleased with the school he goes to and he absolutely loves it and his teacher Ms. Luann. Luckily he will be at the same school next year and with a lot of the same teachers and children, so that makes me really happy.

Rainy Days

Stafford and Reese had the best time playing in the rain puddles the week of the floods. They were both absolutely soaked when it was time to come inside, but the smiles on their face were priceless.

1st Bike Race

Stafford had his first bike race at the Joe Martin Stage Race this year. He absolutely loved it and he did it all by his self. They gave all the kids a medal for completing, so that made it even better.

He asked me later that day if I was proud of him for riding in the race. I of course said yes, and then I asked him if he would want to ride in more bike races and he told me yes because they are so easy. I just love this things Stafford is saying these days.

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day with my family. The kids gave me framed silhouettes of themselves. I had been wanting these for awhile and my friend Jess suggested it to Chris for a project and he came through. The funny thing is during the week before Mother's Day, Stafford told me that Daddy had taken pictures of him from this side and then from the other side. I thought it was too funny. I love that kids are so honest and have no idea. It is something I will always cherish.

"Mission Takeaway Passy"

Well it is official, Reese no longer takes a passy when she goes to sleep. We have been talking to Reese about it for a couple weeks now, so yesterday when she woke up from her nap she said she was going to mail her passy to Ella well we decided to go with it and got an envelope out and let her draw on it and we wrote Ella's name on it and Reese's name on it. She put her passy in it and sealed it up and walked it out to the mailbox and put it in the mail. She was so proud of herself and I loved the look on her face.

We were curious how it would go when bedtime came around, but she did great. We put her in bed and she looked around for her passy and then we reminded her that she had mailed it to Ella. She laid her head down and grabbed ahold of minnie mouse really tight. You could tell she was thinking, "I can do this".

Well she did. We never heard a word out of her all night and the last picture is of her when she woke up this morning.

GREAT JOB REESE!!!

Priceless

Tea parties with daddy, nothing more needs to be said.

I love them so much.....

I have to take advantage of the opportunity to get a picture of the both of them when they let me. I could just eat them up.
