Last Day of School

This morning Braden left for his last day of Kindergarten. He was really excited. Another day at school of all play and no "boring" stuff and a pizza party too. Things don't get much better in a 6 year olds life.

Memorial Day

After a lazy morning we went over to Mike's parents house to swim. What is more American than swimming on Memorial Day? We couldn't think of anything! It was perfect. Yesterday was the first day all week that the pool had been clean and clear because of all the rain we got last week. It wasn't too hot. It was a fun afternoon.

Ashlyn's New Look

Today was the day! We put it off for 4 years and 4 months. Today was Ashlyn's first hair cut. We could have just trimmed off an inch and called it a day but we decided to really go for it so we could donate her beautiful hair to Wigs for Kids.

Kindergarten Grad!

Friday morning Braden officially became a kindergarten graduate. His school had a small program Friday because the original scheduled program was after school was dismissed for summer. Someone forgot to check the calendar I guess.

Since it was during regular school hours it had to be short. The first groups eats lunch at 10:45 so everyone had to cleared out the room prepped beforehand. They had one little poem read, followed by handing out diplomas (which took awhile since there are 4 classes), then the kindergarten's sang "tomorrow" complete with hand gestures. Afterwards every one's lunch was ruined by cake and juice.

It was a great morning but a little sad. Time flies by too quickly.

some new cards

Ok so life has been zooming by at our house without anything really interesting happening. We all are just trying to get to summer vacation as quickly as possible. It will be here soon.

We've been spending the weekends working on the house. I'll have to take pictures later of all our finished and soon to be projects. I love my house!

I haven't been making any scrapbook pages because my stuff is still in boxes all over the house. So, I've been making cards here and there. Here are some of the Father's day cards I made. I've sold 2 of them on etsy already. I guess the other might be Mike's card.

coolest balloons ever!

A few weeks ago we went to Publix and they were raising money for.....I don't even remember anymore. Anyways they had balloons and face painting. Both of my kids decided on balloons.

Braden's fish and fishing pole might be the coolest balloon I've ever seen. It was awesome. He had a blast with it too. He pulled his comforter into the floor to be the lake and then gathered ever sea creature and duck from the playroom to live in his pond. So Braden!

2009 Athletic Awards

Yesterday when I picked Braden up from school he said "Am I going to the soccer awards tonight?". Soccer awards.....Ooops! I do vaguely remember that phone call. Last night was the Athletic Awards at his school. Mike didn't even get to come because he was picking Ariel up from the vet. Braden played intramural kindergarten soccer. I'm using the work play loosely here but he did get a certificate for playing.

On the walk home he said, "Now that I have an award I'll never have to play soccer again!" I guess soccer really isn't his sport.
