Last Soccer Game

We had our last soccer game and I know 3 of us were glad the season was coming to end, Kylee was not. It is fun but I am ready to have my Saturdays back and quit worrying about the weather (is it going to rain? are the fields too wet?? is the wind going to blow us to the Land of Oz???). Anyway, It was a fun season. I enjoyed watching Charley coach with his brother even though Katie truly would rather sit on the sidelines and play with the weed flowers and talk to the kids. Really Katie was scared of the ball. She would cringe when it came near her. I really wish I had a picture of that but instead I have pictures of her holding her head, playing with a feather, and throwing the ball in. We tried to bribe her to kick the ball but that kind of backfired on us. I don't know if she will ever play again. She did have fun spending extra time with her cousin Hudson who did a great job. Now Kylee on the other hand really tried hard. She was always going after the ball. This was her first year on the big field. She did not make a goal but came very close in the last game. She got to play with super sweet girls and they really had fun together which I am so glad she is learning to have fun while playing sports and that is not all serious. She really would love to continue to play each year so we will see. Another soccer season down and that means summer is right around the corner!

Field Day 2010

Kylee's favorite day of the spring semester finally arrived-FIELD DAY!! She was so excited. It was a beautiful day and pretty hot so all the water that they played in was extra appreciated. The PE coach spends so much time getting this day ready and making it so fun for the kids. There is no real competition more fun activities and lots of exercise running around. Kylee's favorite thing at field day were the water slides and this Survivor like game where they are putting a puzzle together while they await the arrival of water being dumped on them. The only drawback to field day was the allergic rash she got from the sunscreen on her face for the next 5 days. Kylee wanted me to add that she had an awesome time and that no one was absent that day:)

Daisy to a Brownie

This past month Kylee has had lots of fun with Girl Scouts. She has been promoted from a Daisy to a Brownie. They did lots of celebrating for this. They had a gymnastics party to mark the end of Daisy's and then they had the bridging ceremony where they received their Brownie sash and got pinned for Brownies. Kylee has enjoyed Girl Scouts and the little girls in it are all in 1st grade at her school so it if nice to get to know them and their parents. She is still going to do it for at least one more year and I know she is excited about that.

Mothers Day

I had a great Mother's Day. The girls were so excited about this day. Katie infact really thought it was my birthday and insisted that we sing Happy Birthday several times. We tried to explain it to her but just decided it was her fun way to enjoy the day. I was greeted with two smiley girls with gifts at 8 am sharp. Charley said it was hard to keep them out of the bedroom till then. They had made me fun cards and Kylee's was very extensive and long! They got me a "fancy" (Katie's word) dress and CD. I loved it all. We just relaxed and got ready for lunch where we met my family for lunch at the Gaylord Texan. It is so yummy and nice. This is our 3rd year to go and I love it! The girls love the chocolate fondue fountain or mountain as Katie calls it. I love all of it. We had a great time and took tons of pics and the ones below are the best it gets with that many people. After lunch we came home and I took a 2 hour nap!! It was so perfect. I love being a mommy and the two little girls that made me a mommy with all my heart. Not every day is easy or great but it is the job I dreamed of my whole life. I am so thankful for a husband who supports me as a stay at home mom and tells me all the time what a great mom I am. I couldn't enjoy a day like this with out thanking the ones that make this day possible and rewarding. The day ended with me cuddling my sweet girls and a couple times of Happy Birthday sung to me:)

Baby Shower for Kylee's Teacher

Kylee's teacher is having a baby in July and we threw her a "surprise" baby shower during teacher appreciation week. The kids were so excited to do this and couldn't wait for the shower. To say it was a surprise should be used very loosely and it really bugged a couple of the kids that some of them had told her about the shower. It was fun and Kylee was so excited to celebrate the day. The deco was very girly and the kids ate cake, played guess the baby food game and pass the paci (hot potato), and watched gifts be opened. It was great!

Katie's Preschool Program

Katie had her end of the year preschool program a couple weeks ago and she did such a great job. She had told us weeks ahead of time the song but said we had to wait until the program to hear it and see the hand motions. She did a great job and did all the hand motions and smiled a bunch. My favorite part was when they had to act cool and fold their arms. They also said a verse with motions first: "I will always praise the Lord."Psalms (it's in the middle) 44:1. She had practiced that a bunch with us and we thought it was adorable esp. the it's in the middle part. After the show we went to her turtle class and had snacks and got her ABC book. She was very proud of it and being a turtle this year. We love our little turtle and can't believe the year is over. Way to Go Miss Katie!
