1ST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN

So today was my baby's final day of kindergarten. I cannot even believe it. She has grown SO much. She has made such wonderful friends, learned to read, learned about money, telling time, adding and subtraction and so much more. I could not be more proud of her. This summer she will be 6 years old and is turning into such a lovely young lady. She has a full summer planned, a couple of summer camps through church, summer day camp through school, lots of cheer leading, and she is mostly looking forward to our vacation to Palm Springs, she loves laying poolside and ordering "Oreo shakes" from the pool boys :)I love my girl and cannot wait to see what she has in store for me! Enjoy some pictures of her from this school year!

Sea World Time.....

So for Samantha's last field trip of the year her class went to Sea World. Mark and I went with her as well and Miss Kylie. We were also lucky enough to be able to have a couple of her friends hang out with us all day. We took her friends, Jeremy and Gracie. We also spent most of the day with our friends Dawn and Greg, and their kiddos Brandon and Jenna. We had SO much fun. We started the day at the Dolphin show, saw the Shamu show, which Kylie calls the "Shampoo Show", played in the "Bay of Play" which is where all the Sesame Street gang hangs out, and we ended the day at the Starfish pools where the kids LOVED picking up and holding the starfish and other animals. We had an amazing day with a wonderful group of kiddos.

Stagecoach 2009.....

So my best friend Amy and her husband invited Mark and I to go with them to "Stagecoach" with them this year. Stagecoach is a HUGE country music concert in the desert near Palm Springs. It was at the Indio Polo fields. We went this past weekend and had a BLAST! One of the best times of our lives. Great music, Kenny Chesney, Kid Rock, Brad Paisley, Miranda Lambert, Darius Rucker, Little Big Town, Reba, Zac Brown Band, just to name a VERY few, there were so many bands and people it was unbelievable! We stayed up TOO late, drank TOO much, and had TOO much fun if that is possible. I can honestly say it was a once in a life time experience, well until next year :) Great times had by all. Enjoy some of the PG rated pics from the weekend!!!We are so grateful to have such amazing friends! Love you Keithy and Amy!

I also forgot to mention that some of my FAVORITE soap stars were there this weekend, we got to hang with them and get some pics with them, that was a HUGE highlight of the weekend also!

Easter FUN!

This past Sunday we celebrated Easter. We had a lovely morning at church with friends and family. Then we had 2 Easter celebrations. One at Mark's family's house and one with my family. Lots of food, fun and family. What a wonderful day. "He is Risen. He is Risen Indeed".

Sam's Easter Play

MY SWEET GIRL

Samantha and her class preformed a Easter play last week. They sang lots of wonderful songs and did some great skits about Easter. I love that she can go to a Christian school and learn about the "true meaning" of Easter and understand about Jesus' love for her. It was great, and we really enjoyed seeing her perform.

Kylie's 1st hair cut

So we FINALLY took our baby Kylie Grace in for her very 1st hair cut. Of course Samantha's first hair cut was at 10 months :) and Kylie is already 3. We love Kylie's long, beautiful,blonde,curly hair, but it was time for a trim. We took her to my favorite kids hair cut place and she did great. She had a choice to pick a movie or a video game, and she chose a "Clifford the Big Red Dog" show. The lady who cut her hair was so nice and wonderful to Kylie. She did great and at the end picked a purple ribbon and some purple glitter. Needless to say her 1st haircut/trim was a great success, enjoy!
