Callie's End of Year party had the theme of a 50's Sock Hop!  We struggled to find appropriate costume attire, mostly Mommy's fault..I waited too long to try and find a poodle skirt, then Callie didn't have a good theme shirt, so she ended up wearing one of mine!  Then I forgot the whole 50's scarf-in-the-hair or around-the-neck thing...oh, well!  She still had a fun rockin' time!

Conquered Kindergarten

 

Well, it's over...Jack's Kindergarten year...so hard to believe!  It went so quickly!  It was definellately an adventure!  Seems like I remember Callie's K year being pretty uneventful--she sailed right through with only some emotional upset around the time of Macie's birth; Jack's has been full of ups and downs, happy days and sad days, but overall, a good year.  He has learned so much with Mrs. Pett, who really, truly knows him- his character, his talents, and his struggles, and believes in him.  How wonderful is it to have a teacher that teaches her kiddos God in all of her lessons everyday??  So great.  As to be expected, Jack ended his year with a bang--he got sick yesterday and still was not feeling well for his "Blessing Day"...but he stuck through it, anyway!  We are so proud of him and how he has grown this year.  Mrs. Pett is right--God has blessed Jack with many talents!  At the bottom is a picture of his first day of school back in August...what a difference!

The Giants

Wrapping up the Spring Baseball season...the Giants did awesome-ly!  Especially my little man...he is fun to watch.  Bryan did a great job coaching as well.  This night Jack received the Game Ball, and Grammy and Papa were there to watch!

This is Callie's Ecosystem--The Tropical Rainforest--that she did for a Science project.  All the ecosystems were displayed at Science Night.  I thought she did a great job!

Miss Softball

Callie has done so well in softball this spring...Coach Strack is awesome, and we have enjoyed getting to know the girls on her team.  I love that she loves to play!  Even Mae gets into it...

Fairy-Tale Princess Party

 

 

Per Her Highness' request, Macie had a Princess theme for her 3 year old birthday party.  I don't normally think of us as indulging parents, but this day, one precious girl got just about everything her heart could desire for the best Princess party ever!  Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, was pink and purple.  Pink and purple cupcakes, pink and purple tablecloths, utensils, cookies, and pink punch.  The cake was one of those doll cakes that Gran Gran is so good at making.  We had Princess games, and even a real Princess showed up to read them a story!  Princess Senora, as she called herself, but sure looked just like that famous Princess Aurora!  So many pretty princesses, and a few handsome princes, too. (Even Clay Selby dressed up--see pic below) I never pictured myself putting on such a girly event, but it was very fun and I think Macie loved every minute of it.  Happy Birthday, precious Mae Mae!
