Last Day of School

School is finally out for the summer! Our last day was June 3rd and ends a chapter in my work career. I will be moving to a new school being built closer to our house. It is 2 miles from my house vs 7.5 miles that I had been traveling. Plus, I will be closer to where Trey will be. I feel better about being closer to him as he starts Kindergarten. I am also now officially the mother of a high schooler. How the heck did that happen? I'm still 25, right? Wow....just the thought of her going to school with 17 and 18 year old boys is a little terrifying for me. I hope we are ready for this. Lily will be entering the 4th grade and is such a model student. She got straight A's and the super citizen award for her class for being so responsible and always doing the right thing. We are very proud! I have finished cleaning out my room, so today is my official first day of summer vacation. Looking forward to lots of pool time!

Memorial Day Weekend

We went to Memphis to visit with my dad over Memorial Day weekend. We also went to let Lily compete in the Memphis Feis. My dad was excited to get to see Lily dance. She didn't place in any of her dances, but she made a new friend and was very close in scoring to the ones that did place! We had a great time visiting with my dad....just wished we lived closer!

Trey's Field Trip

Trey recently had a field trip with his private preschool. He had a blast! It was a place that was made for preschoolers with a giant sand pit, outdoor and indoor playground, trolley they could ride on a track, dress up stations, water play, etc etc. Very cute place.....and the price was excellent!

Meghan

Meghan went to her appointment at a Children's Hospital for a 6 month check on her scoliosis. It has not changed much (which is great!) and she doesn't have to come back for a year! It was a quick checkup compared to last time (we got there at 8:45 and left at 11) and we are thankful for such a good visit with the doctor. Now we continue to pray that things stay as they are and she has no problems!

Dancing Day

This past Saturday, Lily and Meghan both had dancing all day. Lily went to her first feis and danced three of her dances. She placed 2nd in the Light Jig (which means she moves up a level in this dance...you have to place 1st, 2nd, or 3rd to move up) and 4th in her Reel. She did so awesome....I think I was the nervous one..she was just excited! After driving an hour 1/2 home, we went straight to Meghan's recital, of which she did 3 that day! My mom and sister came over to attend. My sister went with me to Lily's feis and then my mom stayed home with Trey and ran Meghan back and forth to dress rehearsal and the performances. It was a great day for dancing!

Easter

This Easter, Daniel had to be away on his two weeks, but my sister, Amy came and stayed to spend Easter with us. We had lots of fun and the kids got lots of Aunt Amy love! The egg hunt had to be inside due to rain, but still lots of fun....and lots of candy!

Katie's Bridal Shower

In March, Alyssa and I had a bridal shower for Katie. It was so much fun, planning the menu and being creative. I made the cupcake tower from a blog that Alyssa found. It was very easy and turned out so cute! You can read here about the food and some of the decorations. Check out the slideshow (make sure you turn up your sound....I added music)!
