1st grade End of the Year Party

The theme for the party was a Luau. The kids were excited and really got into the action. There were fruit smoothies, fruity drinks with umbrellas, a huge fruit tray, bowling -using pineapples and coconuts, sand art, hula hoops and Hawaiian leis. It was perfect! It was a great end to such a wonderful year! We loved JL's teacher, Mrs. Barr-She was the best!

Buzz Cut

Mason has been cutting John Lawrence's hair for about 2 or 3 months now and Mac has been wanting to get in on the action too. Mason took him up on the offer. I like to refer to it as his summer cut. Now he wants to get a Mohawk-we will see!

End of the Season

Soccer came to an end the middle of May and I can say were ready for a soccer break. John Lawrence and Mason both learned a lot. JL got to play with his best friend Gavin (his dad was the coach) and he got to have dad coach (assistant)him. It was an amazing season and both boys want to play in the Fall. I am excited to have JL and Mac play the same sport at the same place. We look forward to the Fall soccer season. Mr. David and Mason are going to coach together again. We can't wait!

Family Camping

For GranJan's birthday she wanted to get everyone together and go camping for a night. We met them and the Pangles at Lake Hartwell (1 hour drive) on a Saturday in May after JL's last soccer and had a ball. It was cool and felt more like Fall than the start of Summer, but that did not keep the boys out of the lake. The boys slept in the new camper (Darlin) and Mason and I slept in our tent. It was a great little getaway!

Boys-Spring Break

The first week of April the boys were on Spring Break. They along with their cousins went to spend the second half of the week with Gran Jan and Pop. Mason and I went to Edisto Beach during this trip and had an awesome time.

Thanks Gran Jan and Pop for watching the boys. They loved it!  

I just got these pictures from Jan last week and wanted to show you how much fun the boys had at Pop's house.

Hero

Mac's teacher sent this letter home on Tuesday. It made me so proud!

Mac is a Hero

On the playground this morning some children were pushing others on the tire swing. The swing started spinning and the girls on it were scared. One began to cry.

Mac raced up to the swing, grabbed it, and stopped it!

Mac comtinues to show these types of very caring behaviors. I am so proud of him. What a cool kid!

Love, 

Ms. Debbie 

Mother's Day gift

John Lawrence made me this card/letter for me for Mother's Day along with a candle that he was so proud of. I was so overwhelmed with this letter~ I forgot to take a picture of the candle. This melted my heart.

My Mom

My mom is the best mom you can ever have. My mom works on the computer. She likes the pink dress I gave her. She makes the best sprinkle cookies. She likes to play board games. She let's me sleep in her bed. My mom is very tall. She is very happy and sweet. She is very helpful. I think my mom is the best person in the whole entire world!

Muffins with Mom

The week of Mother's Day I went to Mac's school to celebrate Muffins with Mom. Mac was so proud to give me the gifts he made me. It was a sweet day!

Open for Business

The pool opened last Friday and the Walker's have already been there 5 out of the 7 days. Can you tell we are ready for summer?

Backyard During

The Backyard During~
Our landscaper finished our yard in two days. The first day he cut down two trees and clear the huge bed and the second day leveled the yard and put down sod.

Sorry there are so many pictures, but I use this blog as my family record/blog book.
