My 8 year old

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COLTON!!!!!

The water guns Kenleigh picked out for him

UT Silly Bands!!

Colton turned 8!!! I can't believe how fast the years go by. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing home that sweet bundle of joy.

We had a fun-filled day, starting with a trip to the park & lunch with Aunt Jamie, Will & Alex. Then I took the kids to Colton's favorite ice cream place - Baskin Robbins. We had a surprise birthday visit from our neighbors then got ready for a big baseball game. The best present of the day was our big WIN!!! Then we had cupcakes with the team & headed home to open gifts with Papaw & Kay Kay.

Last Day of School

I can't believe this year of school is over!

Colton had a GREAT year in 2nd grade - made lots of new friends, had a great teacher, & learned so many new things. He still loves school & excels in all subjects :)

Last day of school (pajama day)

1st Day of 2nd Grade

Kenleigh had her last day of Preschool last week, too. She had so much fun this year. We have found out that she is a hit with the boys - much to her Daddy's dislike. She had a great year - learned lots of new things & is already talking about when she gets to go back to school.

I love how much the ponytails have grown! We thought she would never have enough hair :)

Field Day

The kids just love field day! This year was a little different for Colton because each child participated in 4 events against teams from the other 2nd grade class & they gave ribbons for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place.

I didn't get to go because of work, but Daddy was able to be there.

Colton did great! He got 1st in Sack Race & Relay & 2nd in Balloon Toss.

He had a great time, but I think his favorite part was the Chick-Fil-A picnic lunch :)

Snails

Kenleigh was helping me do some weeding in the flower bed & we found snails - LOTS of snails! She pulled some of them out & put them on the sidewalk. Then we watched them, one by one, come out of their shells & crawl back into the dirt.

She is such an inquisitive little girl!

Kenleigh's New Doo

The kids got their hair cut the other day, & Kenleigh had enough for a french braid! She loved it - even slept with it up. Guess Mommy needs to learn how to do it now :)
