Finally!

This little man has been begging to go to Miss Jody's preschool for about 2 years now.  Every time I would drop one of the boys off there, he would cry and beg to go.  Well, last week Ledger finally got his wish!  He got to start summer school with Miss Jody.  I have told you time and time again how wonderful preschool is right?  Well summer school is just as fun.  Each week is a different theme and you can sign up for whatever weeks you want throughout the month of June and July.  Last week Ledger went to Safari Week.  It was 3 days of playing, singing, reading and art...perfect for an almost 3 year old boy!  He was beaming ear to ear each day when I dropped him off and picked him up.  He would squeal and clap his hands in excitement all the way there.  It made me so excited for him.  He is so looking forward to next week when he gets to go to Dinosaur Week!  Oooooo!  Ahhhhhh!

Ledger looooves his little man backpack!  He thought he was so cool wearing it (in case you couldn't tell by the huge smile and puffed out chest!)

While waiting for the other kids to arrive, Miss Jody let Ledger play Play-Doh. 

The fun never ends at Miss Jody's preschool!

Exciting Bead Party News!

I just got exciting news from my friend Kristy about the bead party we are hosting tomorrow night.  We have found someone to bring shorts, jeans, hats, and belts to sell.  Not only can you make a cute necklace or bracelet tomorrow night, but you can shop for the cutest shorts, jeans and accessories to go with it.  Hope you can make it tomorrow night.  Be sure to tell your friends and family.  

When: Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 8th

Time:  6:30 p.m. (come and go so stop by even if it's late!)

Where:  My house (call or email if you need directions!)

Can't wait to make some fun jewelry for me and my little lady!

You're Invited To A Bead Party!

Many of you have been asking about Miss B.'s cute necklaces and bracelets.  I wish I could say I made them all...but I didn't...until now!  I am having a bead party at my house so I can make her (and me) necklaces and bracelets to match all her cute clothes.  I've never before made jewelry, nor do I even know how, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to learn at a great price (we're talking $15-$25)  Here is what you need to know:  All the beads will be supplied.  You just show up, pick your beads/charms, and then decide how you want them threaded.  Easy right? If you are not in the mood to make a necklace or bracelet, stop by to have a treat and visit with friends.  There is no pressure!  

Date:  Tuesday, June 8th

Time:  6:30 pm  (Come and Go!)

Place:  My House!  Call, Text or Email me if you need directions.

Feel free to bring your friends, family, daughters, aunts, grandmas, cousins, or neighbors.  There will also be necklaces that you can purchase if you don't want to make your own.

Here is a small sample of some of the bracelets and necklaces my friend Kristy has made at bead parties.  Her two adorable girls have necklaces and bracelets to match every outfit. She is hosting the party with me and will be there to show us how it's done!

Look at these cute things!

p.s.  If any of you super talented ladies out there have anything you would like to bring to sell at the bead party, let me know.  We would love to see some cute hair accessories, hats, belts, clothes and baby things.  

June 2nd

I love and miss you Dad.  

The Graduate

He did it!  Case graduated from preschool today.  He had a fantastic and fun filled year with Miss Jody and Miss Ashley.  They have been so patient and kind with him as he worked on all the important skills he needs for Kindergarten and LIFE.  He has really come so far this year. Case loves school and loves to learn, but it's not on the top of his list of "fun things to do.".  Case loves socializing, sports, being active in all things.  School doesn't come easy for him.  He really has to work at it.  And he does.  He wants to do good.  He wants to read, write, add and subtract...but on his terms. I worry about this when he goes to Kindergarten.  I worry that his attention with school will be short.  I worry that his teacher next year will not GET him.  I worry a lot about this kid.  Always have.  I love him so much.  I want his teachers to love him like I do.  I want him to excel and love school.  I am so proud of this kid and all his hard work this year.  Way to go Caser!

Case and Jefferson.  

The only boys who graduated this year from preschool.  

They were surrounded by girls this year!

Graduation can be a little long for a five year old!

A view of the graduates signing, "You're A Grand Old Flag" (is it "Grand Old Flag" or "Grand Ole Flag?") It was standing room only at this graduation. Check out the silhouettes on the wall behind the graduates.  They are absolutely darling.  Would you believe I still have the silhouette that Miss Jody made of me when I was in her Kindergarten class at MacArthur?  It is priceless!

Miss Jody and Miss Ashley are truly the BEST!  We love you both! Thank you for all the kind and funny comments about Case today.  My heart was heavy and I love all that you had to say.  You understand this boy and love him for who he is.  What more could a proud Mom ask for?

Jeremy and I with our little graduate.  

My heart was heavy and I was beaming.  Days like this make me happy and proud to be a mom! I am so blessed!

Case and his idol Brody.  These 2 brothers are the best of friends.  Sorry Ledger and Miss B.  You had to stay home today with Tayler.  It would have been waaaaay to hard for you to be at the second happiest place on Earth and not be able to play! We did miss you though...kinda!

Sugar and Case.  Thanks for the El Charro lunch after graduation Sugar! What a perfect way to finish off graduation. 

G.G. and GPa with our cute graduate. How lucky that Case had his Great-Grandparents at his preschool graduation?  There is a good chance these 2 will be at his high school graduation!

Nanny and PaPa were there too. Thanks for coming Nanny and Papa!
