Yes, these two have finished another year of school. Fourth grade and first grade came to a close yesterday. They also got to have field day as a fun send off for the school year.
Another one bites the dust
Solo
The speed of light
Our pretty little princess was an animal when it came time to eat her cupcake. She didn't waste anytime getting into the icing but never really wanted any of the cake. She continues to bring great joy to our family and all those who come into contact with her. She truly moves as her own pace and has recently taken to pouting when she doesn't get her way. I feel truly blessed and know that our family is complete since she joined our family.
We love you Beetle!
Baseball begins
He is having a wonderful playing baseball this year. There are kids from his class on his team and he is making new friends. His coach is awesome and realizes the boys are just K-2, and has even put parents in their place when scolding their children over a messed up play.
He even has a really great batting average and just might hold the record of RBIs for his team. Just last night at his first at bat the bases were loaded and he drove 2 runs in.
What makes this baseball season so fun is that he LOVES playing!

This weekend was great. The cousins arrived on Friday and we spent every moment possible with them. Hours of playing outside, riding the golf kart, eating, shopping, bonding, laughing, and making memories. Nothing fancy or out of this world occurred while they were here but it was wonderful to see them all together. The girls enjoyed each other like no one expected...no fights or drama. It was wonderful! The boys were great together..a couple of issue moments but nothing like the past. Everyone shared and played well together. It was very hard for my kids to leave for school this morning after having to say goodbye to them last night. A year is a long time to be away from someone you love and it is especially long to a child. I am grateful to have had these days with them and would love to have had more. It is amazing to see your children interact with your siblings children. I wish it was more frequent but I will treasure when it does happen. Love you Wall family and can't wait till Swee's baptism to have you back again!
They moved away

The twins that we had taken care of since they were 6 months old moved away last week. It was a sad couple of days when we found out that they would be leaving/moving pretty far away. My kids got so used to the twins being here practically everyday and especially Doodle since they played together. I was sad to see them leave and really hope that their lives turn out great.
Our Personal Chef
Grilled Southwest Chicken
Homemade Mac and Cheese
Tossed salad
Brownies
To help Priss learn to appreciate the time and effort put into making dinner she was responsible for making an entire dinner for the family. She had to plan the menu, make sure we had everything she needed to make the foods and then she had to prepare them. Doodle even got in on the action by helping with the brownie batter. The food was delicious and she was so proud of herself when we sat down at the table. Swee requested that she forever be in charge of making the mac and cheese now. I loved having a night off from dinner duty.
trying to climb the stairs now that she knows how to crawl. break out the gates on all the staircases so Bee doesn't tumble down or up them.
Dance Competition/Convention
She has started her dance competition season and did really well this past weekend in Chicago. One of her dances received a High Gold and also took second overall. They were one point from Platinum. The dance that all dance company dancers did received a High Gold also. She really enjoyed being on stage competing but the classes she attended were pretty long in her opinion. This was the only time she had to attend classes. All the other competitions will be just doing her two dances and getting scores for them.
