preschool graduation and carnival

The twins across the street had a birthday party. I loved the cake-ofcourse. Look how different their hair is!


For Memorial Day we had Chris's family over and ate and then we went over to the Joyner's (a family from church) to cookout. It was a lot of fun and the kids loved the watermelon.

My very dear sweet friend Nicole was in town from Florida. We met them at McDonalds Memorial Day morning so we could visit. Her girls Fabienne and Jenny are beautiful and sweet.




Sydney and I went to see her cousin, Emma, at her dance recital.




We went to Megan's wedding reception at the University Club on May 23rd. She was a BEAUTIFUL bride. I loved her dress! The best part was they had a room set up where the kids could hang out and color and stuff. So, Chris and I got to visit with friends and eat. The other best part was cheesecake from The Cheesecake factory! YUM!

Daddy (Hugh) and daughter dancing-it was so sweet! I teared up thinking about Sydney and Chris having that dance one day.

Susan and her family were there. We miss them!




I know her eyes are closed, but this is such a sweet picture.


Sydney graduated from preschool and is getting ready for BIG school. They had a cute little ceremony at the church. The graduates sang "Yes, Jesus loves me" in spanish and english and did sign language, recited the pledge to the flag and to the bible, and sang "God loves you". Then they gave each child an award and a diploma. Sydney received the award for "doing everything on her own time". In other words she is a slow poke! They played a slide show of the children-ofcourse I teared up! They had a little reception in the gym afterwards. It was really sweet! Thank you to Mary, Drew, Colt, momma, daddy, YaYa, Pop, and Stacey and kids for coming to see Sydney graduate. Then everyone came back to our house for pizza and cookie cake.

There was a little carnival in taylorville so we took the kids. The first ride they went on was a roller coaster and I thought John Evan was going to be so scared. I was thinking we just wasted that money on his arm band. But-he got off and LOVED it-wanted to ride again and again.


This was like a little obstacle course-again I thought he would be scared. NO WAY!

This little race car ride was really cute.

Maybe this is a good sign that they will love Disney World!

ok this posting absolutely broke my heart!!!! I can NOT believe Sydney will be starting Kindergarten in August. I don't even want to think about it. HOw in the world will you hold it together. Call me if you need a shoulder to cry on. Taylor will start school in January which at this moment I am pretty happy about. haha

Hey girl? How are you? I have not talked to you in forever? Wow! I can't believe Megan got married so fast! At least it seems fast to me... but I guess she has been gone at college for a while now? Is her hubby from T-town? Congrats to Sydney for graduating! She is a doll.
