Cuteness in the Craziness

I have learned that the end of the school year is my busiest time of the year. Between all the fun activities at the different schools we are on the go for three weeks before summer break begins. It is nice to have some "down" time during these busy times. Here are a few pictures of these "down" times.

McKinney doing a flip in his pj's ~ aka nothing but underwear!
Micah has discovered the dryer. He thought this was really fun ~ a roller coaster for babies perhaps!

All three of you love watching old Spiderman cartoons on youtube. I love that there is something you all enjoy watching!

Final AR Party for Rebekah

Rebekah, you had your last AR Hat Party today. You were the top AR point earner in the entire school this year. You worked so hard to reach your goal and even surpassed it by 20 points. You ended the year with 520 AR points. That is a lot of reading and I am most proud that you set a goal and then worked very hard to reach that goal.

Here is the video of Mrs. Callison announcing you outstanding achievement.

Mother's Day 2010

I love Mother's Day. You three sweeties, along with Daddy, always treat me like a queen. You are the best kids any mother could dream of having. Yes, you have your moments, but I am blessed beyond belief. One of the things I love on Mother's Day is celebrating all Mothers at our church. This is a special day for Mommies and I am glad I am in that elite group!

After church we had lunch with Gran and Grandad. It was fun to be with Gran on Mother's Day and try to brighten her day since she has been so busy taking care of Pawpaw. Rebekah, Gran loves seeing you and Kit in your matching clothes she buys you!

A rare picture of Daddy with his Mother.

After I enjoyed a nice, long Mother's Day nap you guys gave me my Mother's Day present.

Can you believe how cool that is? Wow - I must have been a really good Mom this year!!

So excited to ride my new bike!

Can Rebekah Really be 8???

Rebekah, this year you wanted to have a pool party at our house to celebrate your birthday. It was a great day & you said it was your best party ever!!

You and Farrar Rooks

Even Pop participated in the hula hoop contest.

And so did Gaga.

You did great at the jump rope contest.

Opening presents is always FUN!!

Field Day

Rebekah, today you had field day at WJPS. This will be your last field day here, since you will no longer be in primary school next year. I had a fun day with your class. McKinney enjoyed participating as well. He will be here next year and will get to enjoy his own field day. You are a great big sister to let him be included in all the activities!

Muffins with Mom

Rebekah and McKinney, this week you each invited me to have "Muffins with Mom" at your school. I love coming to your schools and enjoying special time with you. You are my pride and joy and I love you both more than you can imagine!!

A Big Day for Rebekah

Rebekah, today you had your Spring piano recital. You played two songs and did an outstanding job. I pray that you will not give up, but will continue to take piano lessons. It is one thing that you will enjoy throughout your entire life!

You and your good buddy, Nathan Anderson.

After your recital you & I had a Mommy/Rebekah outing. You have asked Daddy and me to get let you get your ears pierced for your birthday. We decided you were old enough to care for them yourself, so we went to the mall for this "growing up" experience. I wasn't sure how you would do, but you did great!! You seemed pretty calm before she started and then you held your breath while she was doing the piercing. After it was all over you let out a BIG sigh and you had a BIG smile on your face!!
