And she's a first grader

For 1 week I had 3 first graders and boy Abby wouldn't let us forget it! We are so proud of how much she had grown and changed this year. She has become such a good reader and a whiz at math too!

Hey Baby its Hot outside

This afternoon on our way home the snow cone stand had NO line which we never see so we had to stop and get one to cool off with! Lily and I were putting away winter clothes today and found and put on some uniform shorts and a polo! She was so funny, even asked for a bow for her hair:) Do you think someone is ready to go to school or what?

Out and About

After we took Abbygail to the airport we stop off at Chik-fil-A for an ice cream and to play some. Here are some silly girls, Hannah and Chloe were showing Lily how to cheers with her ice cream. All was fun until Lily's fell on the ground, then daddy had pity on her and shared:)

Lily and the BIG, big girl bed

Thanks to Grandmother Virgina Lily has a twin size big girl bed and she is so proud and has been showing everyone who has come by :) I am so excite to have a new project lady bugging her new bed!

Something is WRONG with this picture?

Hey she doesn't sleep in that room, wrong room, wrong bed!

I've been busy crafting

Here are some things I made for Abbygail just before she left on her big trip:) I have also been working on towels, wash cloths, shirts, pillow cases, and sheets for Hannah and Chloe to take to camp I will post all the photos when I am finished:)

And She's Off

What a day it was for Abbygail, yesterday she graduated Kindergarten and today she flew on a plane alone. Her Grandpa was coming on a flight to get her and it got cancelled and he couldn't get on the next flight here, so Abbygail said she wanted to go by herself and she did. Not one tear she was so tired of waiting for the plane, while we were at the gate she said " can the plane get here already or what?" I am sure I wasn't helping her by having my camera out and taking her picture about 100 times! At the check in counter getting her ticket (she is happy and so excited and truly is happy to pose for a photo)

Saying goodbye to Daddy and sissies, Lily was sad. (look for a story on this)

Walking up to the gate (still good with me taking photos)

About to get on the plane (and as you can see DONE with me taking her picture(there are lots more with eyes rolling and looks) I am sure Grandma was in Denver waiting to snap some herself)

A Week of Awards

So we had a week full of awards ones from church and school this week:)

Here is Lily's award for going to Puggles on Wednesday nights! She was so proud and the only Puggle that went down and got her award. They called her name she looked at me and said "Mama my name?" I said yes then she took off down the aisle to get gave the leaders high five held up her paper and said " I did it" and she came running back to her seat:)
