Field Day

The last day of school is always field day. At our school instead of the traditional field day with different games we have a kickball tournament.  This year they bussed the kids over to our schools jr/sr high campus and they played on the baseball and softball fields. There were 5 classes participating 2 games going on at a time with the 5th team taking a break. They played 2 regular games then the winners played. If I remember correctly we played in the final and lost. Of course a good time was had by all.  Followed by popsicles!

That's our Sarah Jane in the bright blue!

Gator Park

 

Just a little late. :) I do want to get all of my last few months of photos and events caught up!

Our school does end of the year field trips in May for all grades. 6th grade goes to a local “park” that has miniature golf, bumper boats, batting cages, go-carts. You know all the things kids that age enjoy.

Pizza was brought in, a dessert bar was set up by the parents, along with ALL the soda they can drink. (let me tell you-that's a lot of soda)

Sarah and her friend Haley. She is the younger sister of E’s best friend. I have a picture of them in this exact spot on their trip to Gator Park.

Can you see Sarah taking that corner?

FYI: she doesn’t drive like her Daddy.

 

Such sweet girls. We are very lucky that are girls are able to have such good friends from good families.

Such lovely little ladies

 

 

I took these pictures one morning before church. Both girls were somewhat cheerful and willing to stand together. (unfortunately its too rare these days)

Snapped...again

April 30,2009

Hasn't this been the rainiest spring??? I heard that we are +9.25 inches on average rainfall. It seems as if this is the case in most of the country. This limb snapped off one of our 3 HUGE Bradford Pear trees. We were fortunate that we didn't lose an entire tree. This happened on a night when it was not even all that windy. I didn't see any other branches down the next day like I thought I would.....very strange.

I should also tell you that Shane had the branch cut up and hauled away that very evening! (very rare he is so proactive) He loves these trees and when I pointed out that these trees are 15 years old and don't usually live more that 20 he gave me a very dirty look and ignored the comment.

First swim of the season!

April 26, 2009

So I have been a bad blogger lately. I have gone through the photo album and there are a few things I want to make sure I catch up on!!

The first swim of the season was spontaneous. The girls had friends over and it started with the first one being pushed in...then another...and another...you get the picture. This lead to the kids swimming in their clothes. And when there are boys over...I am all for that!!

Emily is in the red and Sarah in the blue tank top. I think they were playing chicken and E was about to get on SJ's shoulders.

This is Emily and her "boyfriend". I have not mentioned him before because I am not one too blow it out of proportion. He is her first boyfriend and they have been "going out" since right after Christmas. He is from a very nice, Christian family and it has been a new and different experience for the WHOLE family.

Especially daddy. :) Daddy has no idea how to handle this.

Stay tuned....more blog posts to catch you up on.

Grandparent's Day

Every April our school has a day to honor Grandparents, this year SJ had a part in a skit and played an attorney. If you notice, she has THREE costume changes. Those of you that know her this is not surprising to you. She loves clothes, spent weeks meticulously planning each costume change. Imagine my surprise to learn she was changing in the baptistry....such an angel!!

The girls with their WONDERFUL music teacher!!

They will miss her!
A blurry photo, this is her in her rented attorney outfit on the right!

This is Sarah Jane and her buddies before the program~such sweet girls!
