Jared Graduated!

Jared graduated High School. He's the last one. Not really sure what my parents are going to do with no kids in the house! He's a cute kid and has been a great uncle to my boys. Congratulations, Jared!

Kindergarten Luau

I loved the Kindergarten Luau. I remember my own Luau when I was in Kindergarten. They sang a few songs that I knew and added in a few new ones. They had apples, bananas, strawberries, and a cookie for a snack. Their drink was a capri sun with a fun Hawaiian straw in it. When I was little, our snacks were more authentic and we had coconut, pineapple, etc. I guess they decided that the kids don't eat that stuff and to stick with normal foods.

Kindergarten Graduation

Blake had his Kindergarten Graduation last Wednesday. It was SO cute. I was so bummed that we didn't have a video camera to record all the songs. They were asked to go to the microphone and say "When I grow up, I want to be a...." The majority of the kids either wanted to be a police officer or a teacher. There were some really cute and original ones too. Blake was going to say that he wanted to be a space man, but changed his mind at the last minute and wants to be a baseball player. I think it's a big step from last year's transformer. It was super sweet. I really had to hold it together when they sang "What a wonderful world"...goodness! Why do they do that to parents?? We're excited for him and try not to think to hard about how fast time goes by.

Blake's 1st & Last day of Kindergarten

Holy cow....I don't know where this year has gone! My baby is getting too big! He's had a fantastic year and I'm so sad that it's over. I have loved every minute of Kindergarten - and so has he! I asked him a couple of weeks before school was out if he was sad to be done with kindergarten. He said "no mom, I'm going to be in 1st grade!" Like "duh"! He's a great kid and has done so well this year!

The other thing I wanted to remember was that we were driving past the school on a Saturday and he said "I wish my school was open today!"...I said "me too!"

First & Last days of school

Brody and Gavin's last day of school was May 20th. Luckily, I remembered to take pictures. Gavin was really not wanting to participate, so I decided to capture the moment anyway. They really have changed a lot.

Blake's Baseball Season

Blake had a great baseball season! What a difference a year makes! This year, he was the Boston Red Sox. He started off playing in the outfield, but then was moved to 2nd base most of the time. He did a great job stopping the ball and getting it to 1st base. He did really good on his batting too. He probably hit 50% from the coach and the other 1/2 from the tee, but always hit the ball. I'm sad that the season is already over because it was so fun to watch them play.
