End of the Year Program

Thursday night we headed to Sparkman 9th grade for Katie Lee's Kindergarten graduation and program. I could not believe that it was so big that our gym could not hold, but it was a packed house.   It was quite a show. 

Katie Lee ready for her performance.

Ready to sing.

She held up the R  during the song "12 Letters in Kindergarten."

They sang so many cute songs.  Their theme was On the Places You Go with lots of transportation songs.

Waiting for her name to be called for her diploma.

These two little boys really enjoyed the show.  Sweet Langdon was so excited for her and just hugged her. 

Ready for 1st grade. 

Our little family.

Grammie and Poppie came to cheer her own. 

Aunt Kitty was proud of her too.  I think she gets her singing and acting from her.  :)

We are so proud of Katie Lee.  She has grown and learned so much this year.  She has made awesome scores on all of her assessments. 

After graduation, we headed to MiCasa for supper.  Grammie and Poppie gave Katie Lee a Minnie Mouse beach towel. 

We gave her this special little card that she is reading carefully. 

I think she realized what it was all about. 

A trip to Disney World this summer!!!!

What a Great Weekend

This weekend has been wonderful. We have had lots of family fun. It finally stopped raining and warmed up enough to get outside. Daniel, Landgon, and Katie Lee love playing outside.





Katie Lee picked me a sweet bouquet of wild daisy from the field behind our house.  I thought they looked super cute in my blue mason jars. 

Teacher Appreciation Week

This past week was Teacher Appreciation Week and Katie Lee treated her teacher with a little something each day. She gave her a little basket of breakfast treats to Rise and Shine at the beginning of the week. A batch of cookies with a cute label I found that said, "Thanks for Making me a Smart Cookie," a little box of sunshine, and a special plate from the class.

I dropped by her class on Monday because I knew her teacher was not at school because her daughter graduated from Auburn that weekend. I had all of the little ones sign their name in their favorite color around the plate. I then add the saying to the center. I read on line that if you bake it for 30mins on 300 that it will keep the ink from coming off. I love how it turned out. Mrs. Ennis loved her gift and her sweet class was excited to give it to her on Friday.

Happy Mother's Day

Today we celebrated Mother's day with lunch with Mother and Kathryn.  We also gave Grammie her gifts, a Pandora charm, and two plates from the little ones. 

Daniel giving Grammie her plate with his handprints on it. 

Katie Lee created an acrostic poem for Grammie. 

My little ones both made me special flowers.

I even got a big hug from this sweet one. 

Kathryn and Langdon

Hope all of you have a wonderful Mother's Day. 

All Boy

Daniel is loving the warmer weather because it means that he can play outside. This afternoon we were outside and it was not long until he had made his way next door. They were out putting mulch in the flowerbed and Daniel decided he needed to help. 

  So busy

I loved this picture because he is just a little ahead of Hayden and he is walking so big.  Looks like he has just told Hayden to follow him and get to work.  HA

He picked the hose up and pretended to spray including his sound effects. 

Ready to drive the truck with Daddy.

No matter what, he always has time for his favorite sister, Katie Lee. 

Spring Carnival

Saturday night we had our school's first Spring Carnival. Katie Lee was so excited about it. I had to work a booth for most of the time so she, Donnie and Daniel got to have lots of fun.


Playing fun games.   

Daniel loved the prizes. 

Face painting

Playing games with her classmate, Lindsey. 

Space Week

This week at school we celebrated Space Week.  The entire school focused on space across the curriculum.  Katie Lee came home each day with something new that she learned about space. It was fun to see her excitement especially since my focus was more on the fact that we have three weeks until ARMT and we need to spend time making sure we are ready for the test rather than space.  Anyway.....
Today was the final lessons and activities for Space Week.  Kindergarten through 2nd grade had kite day.  3rd had a rocket launch and 4-5th had a mock landing simulation with an egg drop. 


Katie Lee had a great time flying her kite. 

 Thanks to Poppie for going into work a little late so he could fly kites with Katie Lee.  I got to go down for just a minute to get a picture of them. 

 While Katie Lee and Poppie were flying kites, 4th grade was dropping their eggs. 

I was amazed at the fact that 3 of the 5 groups in my class had a landing that protected the egg so it did not break. 

Group 1---egg dropped safely

 Group 2--no so much....I was impressed that the used peanut butter as part of their support even if it did not work. 

 Group 3--another successful group

 Group 4--This group ( or one in the group) made this foam container that completely supported the egg and theirs did not break. 

 Dropping the eggs from the top of the fire truck. 

They also created a Milky Way display with black lights for the kids to walk in. 

 

Spring Fun

Last weekend was beautiful and the perfect day to spend outside. Katie Lee spent hours playing outside and drawing on the drive.   

Daniel is going to love being outside just as much at Katie Lee.  He loves his hats these days.

She drew and designed her own classroom using lots of sidewalk chalk.

Daniel's favorite toy. 

Guess who is a climber? 

Easter

Happy Easter to all! 

 

We had a busy and fun Easter Sunday.  We started off with seeing what the Easter bunny had left.  The littles loved their treats.  We also had bunny pancakes.  After church we had an easy afternoon at home.  Then back to church and over to Mother and Daddy's for supper.  Of course it was so good 

 

 

Easter breakfast.  Bunny pancakes.

 Kathryn, Zeb, and Langdon

 I spent a good while Sunday afternoon trying to get a good picture of Daniel and Katie Lee together.  He was NOT intererrested at all.  I did catch this sweet picture.  He is going to  kiss Katie Lee.

 Langdon sharing his ring pop with Daniel.  They are just the best of friends. 

 Another attempt of a picture.  One with closed eyes and the other looks like he is about to be asleep.

 Might be the best one I got of them all day.

 Checking out their Easter baskets. 

 My favorite picture all day.  The three I love the most.

 Sweet Daniel.
