Happy 8th Birthday Hailey!!

Today is Hailey's 8th birthday. Seems like yesterday we brought her home from the hospital. She has grown so much and has so much personality. She really is the phrase "She's 8 going on 16". She's very independent and loving. She is in the third grade and loves her teacher and her classmates. I am so proud of her.

We celebrated her birthday on Saturday the 15th. I am glad we did because she has become sick with Bronchitis. We played pin the microphone/guitar on Hannah (like pin the tail on the donkey), the girls watched Hannah Montana while the boys went outside and played. Fun was had by all!

Graduation Day


We are so proud. Today my son Graduated from being a 6th grader. In this town the schools go from K-6th and then they go to the High School 7th-12th. So next year Greg will be in High School. It was very hard to hold back the tears. He has come so far from being an infant to a bright young man.

Today was Hailey's last day of school as well. Her program was on the 26th and she received a top honor in her class. Most Improved Reader! I am so excited! I cannot express enough how proud of my kids I am.

Congrats to you both!

Love,

Mom and Dad

End of the School Year




Here we are at the end of the school year and Mom has been doing her duty. I have been on two field trips, paid for Graduation pics, T-shirt, and Graduation CD. Have bought Greg's Graduation gift, cake, and a little something for Hailey for doing so well this year. It has been a fun but hectic time. I am a little sad because its a reminder that Greg is not a little boy anymore. He will be starting 7th grade at the High School next year. Hailey will be in third grade and is growing up so fast. I am so proud of both my kids. They are reaching for the moon, but if they miss they can grab onto a star to reach their dreams.

Snow Day


Today we had snow for the first time this winter. It comes after a rash of thunderstorms, straight-line winds and Tornadoes. Only in the South can you go from 70 degrees out on Friday and on Saturday and Sunday the temperature be at a high of 35 degrees and have snow. The kids had fun and it was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. One of God's amazing wonders.
