Kelsey's Last Day of Kindergarten

Well, I can't believe it, but it's finally here! Kelsey's last day of Kindergarten! I feel like the year went SO fast! I think Kelsey really enjoyed Kindergarten, but I know she is ready to be done. It's such a long year for a 6 year old! We are SO proud of her and everything she accomplished this year!

Today I went up to the school for her awards day. Right before they did their awards program, all the kids in school went out and stood by the highway to watch the motorcycles go by for Memorial Day. It was pretty cool!! At the awards program, Kelsey got an Accelerated Reader award from Mr. Brose, and Mrs. DeWitt gave her an award for a great report card, being an excellent reader, and being kind to everyone. Again, we are SO proud of her!

After awards, I stayed and had lunch with Kelsey and her class. We took a sack lunch and had a picnic outside. What fun! :-) Kelsey has made some great friends at school this year, and I'm sure she's going to miss them this summer! I guess we'll be having a lot of playdates!!

Kelsey's First School Field Trip

On Friday, I went with Kelsey on the first of many field trips. We went to the Logansport Fire Station, then to the park for a picnic, and then we went bowling. It was a really fun field trip! I didn't get many pictures, but I took a few. I still can't believe she is old enough to be taking school field trips!

Mother's Day Fun - Flying with Papa!

We had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday!!! Kelsey got up and made me breakfast in bed (waffles - yum!) and cleaned my house! After church, we went to Rensselaer and ate Burger King and then went flying with Lance's dad (pictures below). We then went and bought garden stuff and had my parents over for dinner. It was such a great day! Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful mothers out there!!

So, this was Maddox's first time flying. He was so excited before we took off. After we took off - not so much! He buried his head in my chest and went to sleep! The rest of us had fun though!! Thanks dad!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Maddox!

Easter 2010

Once again, we had a busy (but wonderful) Easter. We started on Saturday by going to Heather's house to color Easter eggs. That's always a lot of fun! Thanks Heather! We got up Sunday morning, and the kids found and opened their easter baskets. It's always fun to watch them hunt for their baskets:-) We then had to hurry and get ready for church. The kids looked so adorable in their Easter outfits (at least I thought so!). After church, we came home, changed, and went to my Aunt Claudia's for a while. After we left there, we went to Lance's parents' house for the rest of the evening. The kids really enjoyed seeing their cousins, having an Easter egg hunt, and playing outside. It was a beautiful day!! Happy Easter everyone!

Enjoying the Beautiful Weather

As you know, the past week has been so BEAUTIFUL! We have been outside as much as possible. We've been to the park a couple of times (since we currently have no grass!), and today we were able to enjoy our deck for the first time!! During nap time, Landon and I went out on the deck - I did my Bible Study, and he read books and colored pictures. It was awesome! Once Maddox woke up, we went outside for a snack, and the boys played with some toys. What a great day!

Wow...It's Been A While!

So, I haven't updated my blog in SO LONG! Honestly, I've had no motivation to do it! I feel like most of the people that look at my blog have a facebook account, and they can just see my pictures on there. But, I'm going to try to do better. I have updated everything we have been doing the past couple of months. I went all the way back to Kelsey's birthday! I did several different posts. I hope you enjoy! :-)

Kelsey's 6th Birthday

For Kelsey's birthday this year, she wanted to go eat Chinese food and then go to Monkey Joe's. So, that's what we did! We let her invite one friend, and she wanted our neighbor, Jadyn, to go. The kids all had a great night (even though Kelsey wasn't feeling the greatest!).


At our house getting ready to leave

The kids were so excited to go play, but I made them stop for a picture:-)

Haha - it was so fun to watch Maddox!

Getting ready to open presents

Maddox was dying to open them!

She got a cd player, and she listens to it ALL THE TIME!
