Kendalyn's & Brennan's First Day of Summer School

I never thought the day would come where I would be putting my baby on a school bus and sending him off to school. Well, it did. For the record, I did NOT cry!!!! I'm sure the story is going to be different when he actually starts kindergarten. Of course, Kendalyn was ready to go. She picked her own summer school courses this year and picked all sports (that's my girl).

Pre-school Graduation

Brennan FINALLY graduated from Pre-School. It was held at a small theater near our house and each class performed a cute little skit. At the end, the older kids actually got to 'graduate.' Each was presented with a graduation certificate and a special achievement certificate from the year. Brennan received the most academically improved!!!! WOW...... It was very nice

Brennan's 5

It's that time of year again to share another year of Brennan's life. He turned 5 a few weeks ago and started Pre-K summer school on June 2nd. He absolutely HATES it and comes home every day and tells me how boring it is. SO...i broke out the bribery tool. So far it is working, but sure hope he outgrows it before his senior year or school is going to get rather expensive.

As you can tell, we certainly have our hands full. I can't believe he looks so much like JR (and acts like him too)

Kendalyn's 2nd Grade Awards Ceremony

JR and I attended Kendalyn's 2nd Grade Awards Ceremony this morning at 9am at her Elementary School. LOOK AT HER....SHE'S WEARING A DRESS!!!!! We are so proud of her. She received an Award for Art, an Addition Award, and a Subtraction Award. She also received a free ticket to Six Flags for reading this year. She would have had perfect attendance had she not jet-setted off to Michigan a few weeks ago. OH WELL...we'll try again next year.

Brennan's Tee-ball Practice 5/14/08

Brennan is now a PIRATE for the Parks and Rec Tee-ball season.

His first practice was last Thursday. He has practice every Monday at 7:00 p.m. and every Wednesday at 8:00p.m. which is absolutely ridiculous for little guys. We get home between 9:30 and 10:00 on those nights. He is an absolute bear to wake up the next morning. Anyway, he certainly is enjoying himself and his first game is May 27th at 5:30 p.m.. His coach is Mindy Knowles this year. He looks forward to baseball practice/games and that is our new threat for the time-being (HA)!

Kendalyn's First Soccer Game 4-13-08

Kendalyn had her first two soccer games yesterday and the weather was absolutely miserable. At one time during the first game it was raining/sleeting/snowing pretty heavy. That was my least favorite part of the game. Her first game was at noon against the other Fulton team. We lost 4-0. Her second game was at 1;45 against the Sedalia Selects. We lost 9-1 (or something like that). That team had been together for 4 years and they were good. We'll get'em next time. She picked Number 16 this year. White is her AWAY jersey and yellow is her HOME jersey.

Kendalyn's Piano Recital

Kendalyn had her very first piano recital on Saturday, April 12, 2008. She was extremely nervous and thought she was going to puke all the way into town. I coached her into believing that no one was sitting in the church and watching her. She was the 4th person to play. She played "Whistle While you Work" and she did and excellent job. We were all so proud of her. We took her out to eat at Arris' Pizza after her recital. WAY TO GO!!!!!
