Last day of Third Grade!

My sweet Lauren had her last day of third grade today. She woke up this morning so ready for school. They were all going to wear their Spring Valley shirts so they could sign their names on the back of them at the end of the day. Lauren loved this idea so last night at 11 pm I was doing laundry to make sure it was washed. ha! Here is Lauren with two of her best friends, Iris and Hallie. Sweet fourth graders!

Oh, sweet Lauren.....I love you so much. You have grown tremendously this year. You're not a little girl anymore. You are growing into this beautiful loving life girl. To see you smile can stop me from whatever I am doing and admire you. You are a true blessing to me! We love you Tootie!

You can't leave them alone for a minute!

This morning my 5 year old and 3 year old were in their rooms playing so nicely with each other. Just playing cars and having lots of boy fun. I had JUST checked on them before going to make some beds. See what happens when you leave two little boys alone together? ha! I love them anyway!

I have a Kindergartener now!

Luke's last day of pre-K was today. His class had a Luau and the kids had so much fun! Luke has always loved school but this year was extra special to him. He had the most wonderful teacher a parent could ever ask for, Mrs. Mitchell. She always had the best hugs for Luke and loved on him as if he were her own throughout this school year. Luke was so excited about this being his last day of school but sad that this was his last day with Mrs. Mitchell. As we said our good-byes and walked out of that little pre-K room the tears began to fall for me. I can't believe my sweet boy is moving on to kindergarten. Where did time go with him? I can remember so well the day we brought him home from the hospital, the move to Texas when he was 6 months, his first steps, those big blue eyes wanting me to tuck him and his "ye-wo" in. (For those of you who don't know what this is it is a homemade pillow that I made for him when he was one. It was my first attempt to do anything on a sewing machine that my mom had bought for me. Luke loved it and to this day he has a hard time parting with it) When did he turn into this handsome big kid? Where was I? My three sweet children are growing up before me. I am so happy for all the milestones they are reaching but my heart is breaking. Today I stop and say thank you God for your three little blessings! Correction three big blessings. Sniff, sniff! Friday is almost here and it will soon be Lauren's turn to move on to fourth grade. This week is full of sweet and sad times. Again, THANK YOU Lord for these blessings!

Summer fun is on the way!

I can't beleive that school will be out this week. The kids are so excited!! It will be nice to have them around the house more. I am sure we will be doing a lot of swimming in our fabulous country club pool in the backyard! All friends and neighbors there is no membership fees so come on over. ha! Today was a beautiful day and here is a picture of my sweet Lanny Boy enjoying the sunshine.
