Bennett's 2nd Grade Hoe-Down on the Playground

We were going and blowing this day!  We had Henry's pre-school graduation and then went to Bennett's end of year party!  They had a make your own trail mix station, western games, sno-cone truck and a bounce house.  I feel like all the kids wanted to do was run around on the playground unsupervised, though!

Sno-cone truck!

Henry's Last Day of Pre-School!

I just can't believe pre-school is over for Henry.  I am typing this about 1 month into Kindergarten and it is still unreal to me.  Henry really thrived in Bridging and it was one of the best parenting decisions we made.  Giving him the extra year to gain confidence, maturity, and academic skills has been a true gift.  We are so proud of our boy!

At SPDS you can arrive early to get your seat for the 9am start time.  I called the day before to see what time the school would open.  They said 6am.  I arrived at 5:55am to a locked up building.  No one came to unlock it until around 6:15.  I got there first and was able to snag the second row.  The front rows are auctioned off for big $ at the auction in the fall.  I got there early enough so that we could all see Henry graduate from pre-school!

We brought the whole family to the event!  Bennett had his 2nd grade hoe-down after this so that's why he is dressed in western-wear.

So glad all of our grandparents could attend pre-school graduation!

Henry and his sweet friend, Max.

Ellen took this and sent it to me!  What a sweet picture of Henry.

Singing his heart out!  They only sang about 25 songs.

How exciting!  These are a few of the SPDS kids that will be with Henry in Kindergarten!  Briggs, Lily, Henry, and John Hunter,

What a difference from the first day to the last day of Bridging!

Field Day 2017

2nd grade field day was so much fun!  We won races and then got to play at the field day carnival.  

Sour Squirt Spray was the hot seller!

Just killing it at field day!

Love being with my boy.

Crawfish (Henry's T-ball Team)

Henry looks so darn cute in his little t-ball uniform! He was THRILLED about t-ball this year and couldn't wait to get on his uniform and head to his games and then...he wouldn't play!  He says he wants to play, but that he only likes to bat.  We aren't sure if we should still sign him up!  We shall see!

Cuties

Jake and Henry

This team has some cute boys and the cutest girl on it!

Run, Henry!

This sweet girl had to spend 3-4 nights a week at the ballpark for 2 months!  Such a trooper!

We had a treat when Matthew and Neil B. stopped by Henry's game one week!

Getting ready to run!

He loves to bat!

Having a little chat with the opposing team.

I was thankful that Roderick, Miles' dad took all these great photos!

Look at my boy!  And that is Coach Cox next to him!

Bulldogs!

Sarah Kathryn and her big girl bed!

Sarah Kathryn is such a big girl!  We moved her to her big girl bed the week after she turned 3.  She wasn't climbing out of her crib or anything, we just thought it was time since she is potty trained and had no way to get to the bathroom.  The furniture she got was the girls room furniture from Neil's grandmother's house.  Neil's aunts used to sleep on this furniture when they were growing up!  I love it!

Richard drove over to help take down the crib and set-up the new furniture.

We moved everything around about 6 times until we got it just right.

It's a little cramped, but we for sure wanted both beds in there.

After we got it all set-up she climbed up in her bed and fell asleep!  In the middle of the day!  Wow!

Sweet baby girl!

I love how it turned out!

Trying out Sister's Bed!

We had a baby doll blanket made out of scraps from her quilt.

Dine in the Pines and Tech Baseball

When Rebecca told me she was planning Dine in the Pines, I knew we had to be there.  We were going to be able to dine in the middle of Park Ave, but rain made us take the party to the Argent pavilion at Tech.  It was a great event! They had tables all set-up with flowers that were arranged by the local garden society.  The whole event benefited Piney Hills Advocacy Center.  I was so proud of Rebecca and her efforts!  She did a great job!

One our way to the event, we stopped by the Sigma Kappa lodge so I could see my brick on the new walkway!

Rebecca was responsible for getting lots of the sponsors including Smart Plumbing!

Also, Richard and Janine Lewis. We used their tickets while they kept the kids.

Here's the program! YAY Boodle!

She even serves desserts!

Photo booth!

 We got home and found out that Tech's baseball game was still playing so we all loaded up and went to the game at 9pm!  Such a great idea!

They love concessions!
