Pre-School Graduate!

Check out our little graduate! So cute!!! Last Sunday was Drew's pre-school graduation. He was so excited and the kids all performed some really cute little songs.

Here is Salih, they have been good friends for a few years now and I have a feeling they will be seeing each other on the baseball fields over time. They are doing a camp together this summer and I have seen Salih play... good little hitter!

Here is Drew and Trent, one of his best little buddies from Goddard. They have had some playdates and I am sure there will be more over the summer!!

And here comes to girls. This is Drew and Kennedy, one of his little girlfriends. We have a cute video of them dancing. Kennedy's mom tells me she is in love with Drew.

Oh wait, and here is Leah, another girldfriend. Leah's mom also tells me she is in love with Drew. Not sure what Drew does all day at school, but he has won over the little girls.  Drew did tell me he prefers blondes the other day :)

They did awards at the graduation ceremony and Drew got "most athletic boy" and his little girlfriend Leah got more athletic girl. Now I know why they get along so well!!!

And finally Drew's picture before we left for his last day at Goddard on Thursday. I have to say, I went to pick him up around 11:30am so we could get Hannah off the bus together and I actually got really choked up. Drew saw me and started running towards me, then all the kids followed. When I told the kids it was his last day, they all started hugging him and the little girls asked if they could get their pictures with him, oh, and text it to their moms :) Drew gave his hugs and said his goodbye's. It was sweet and endearing. In the car he told me he was sad, but was "going to keep it together".

And just like that, I have two kids in elementary school. Time seems to just keep getting faster. Between school, work, travel, sports... It is all becoming a blur, but I would not change it for the world. I have two amazingly wonderful kids that make each day an adventure. I can't wait to see how Drew does at Kindergarten in the fall. He is super excited to ride the bus with the big kids!!

Hannah's last day of 2nd grade!

I have never been so excited for a school year to be over! I think I may have been even more excited than the kids this year. Ready for summer, here we come! Hannah finished 2nd grade and will be going on to 3rd grade in the fall. It started out as a rough year with math and getting used to her teacher, but got a lot better throughout the year. She got a math tutor, studied hard and had a lot of perseverance to get through the year.  I am hoping next year she finds a teacher she clicks with a little better, and hoping for her math to start clicking as well!!

Hannah's summer is going to be filled with fun and relaxation. She has a soccer camp planned, VBS, and Summer Show Offs came which is a little singing dancing camp that her and her friend Maddies are going to together. Her first swim meet is already this week... and the water is still really cold, I am feeling bad for those kids!   Hannah has requested a lot of little play dates with her friends and plenty of sleepovers to go with it. We are going to make sure she has a great summer and is ready for 3rd grade!  

Mother's Day and East Side Pirates Baseball !

Check out the little love of my life handing me a rose for mother's day. All the little boys were so darn cute, all excited to give their moms roses. Too cute.

Here is my pitcher... all serious and did an awesome job todays stopping lots of balls and getting the ball the first base.

He loves to dive for the ball, and did a darn good job at it stopping some great hits today. the dirtier Drew is after a game, the happier.

Check him out in action... love it.

Today Drew got the game ball! The first play of the game he was at pitcher and the batter hit a great hit high up in the air. Drew focussed and caught the ball for the first out of the game.   We lost today, but regardless, he made some great plays and hits. The other team was insanely good. We have a game next Saturday, if we win we play in the championship on Sunday. If we lose, we are done for the season. Drew loved every minute of baseball this year. I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of time at Fullers park over the years.   I am proud of you little guy. We make my heart swell with pride.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there, and happy mother's day to my mom. Thank you for all your sacrifices over the years. Love you and thank you for all your do.

And to Hannah and Drew, thanks for a great day. I am so blessed to be their mom and love every moment of it. Every year is a new adventure and I look forward to all of them! Love you kiddos!!
