Kindergarten Graduation

Today my oldest child graduated from Kindergarten!  As he stood with his class, I was reminded of the meaning of his name “Remembered by God”

How thankful I am that God picked me to be the mother of this sweet little guy How thankful I am that God choose the PERFECT kindergarten teachers for him.


He has learned SO much this year and I am so very proud of him.


He had quite the Fan Club at his ceremony!





Of course we had some fun surprises when he got home from school today!

This was one occasion where having the longest name in his class was super cool!

Oh the Places You’ll Go……….Your OFF to Great Places, you are off and AWAY!

Zachariah’s 6th Birthday

To Celebrate Zachariah’s 6th Birthday we planned a class field trip to Safety Town.
After some 911 practice, they turned the kindergarteners loose in safety town to drive!


After some Safety Town fun, we headed out for some Ice Cream Fun!


This was a super fun time with his Kindergarten Class Friends!

Valentines 2012

Valentines Day we woke up to some fun love and gifts!

Then time to get ready for a fun day at school.

Ava with some of her best friends!

Valentines sure have “upgraded” since I was in school…..look how fun these are!?

A Day In the Life of…..A Flower girl

For the past week or so, I have been asked every day….”Is today the Wedding?” “When I am going to do my very important special job” Ironically  enough this past week Ava picked out a library book about about being a flower girl. The cover of the book gave no indication the book was going to be about being a flower girl. It was a perfect way to get Ava excited about this big day.
We started our day at the Angie's for a special wedding hair do!
Next on our list of things to do….paint the toes!

Ava was going to be sporting some super fun flip flops at the Bride’s request…..
to go along with her Zebra and Hot Pink touches at the wedding reception.

Ava is so excited…..she is peeking…..

at the bride! A sweet family friend who I have known since she was in kindergarten….Maggie!

Now its time…..to do her very important special job! Quick! Down the stairs….


Down the Aisle…..

And I admit, I had my eyes open to catch this most precious moment….


If I keep this girl in Texas long enough…..she might just ask to wear these under her wedding dress too one day!

She ended her fun day with some milk and cookies…

and found a new place for her shoes….

and after a car ride home, wanted to sleep in her dress….

Congrats to you Maggie! It was a beautiful wedding and a fun memory for your little flower girl…(and her mom!)
