Gracie has such a good time at Upward Cheerleading. This is her 4th year cheering.

I had to post this because she has four legs. haha

Took Austins training wheels off last night and off he went. He did such a great job. He went up and down the street a 100 times. : ) Nothing like a bowl of ice cream to finish off the day.

Austin's 5th Birthday cont.....

David, Sammie,Lilly,Austin,Kennedy,Lucy

This party is the last of the birthday celebration which was actually on May 11. I wanted to wait till my ankle had healed and I was walking better before entertaining 7 kids ages 4 to 6. We debated if we should put the slide up because of the cool weather but decided kids love water, it doesnt matter that they are turning purple because of being cold. They were in for about 1 hour and loved it. They did take a break for the pinata. They were so funny because Ithought they would scurry to grab candy from the pinata but they were all very careful at getting the candy and it took them forever to pick it all up. Austin had a good time and was happy to see all his friends from school again.

Smore friends

Gracie and Samantha

Austin and Nathan

Memorial weekend was a very relaxed weekend. The kids both had there friends over for some smores. Samantha and Nathan are brother and sister that just so happen to be close to the ages of my kids, they live behind our house and the kids play EVERY day together.

Quote for the Day!!

Austin: Mom, you are such a good driver. I think you should be a race car driver when you grow up.

Gracie: Austin, get real. Mom is grown up, she has already lived more than half her life.

At first I thought this was funny, Gracie being wrong of course. I said to her, "wow, you don't expect me to live very long." Then I started doing the math. Not so funny anymore.



Kids say the funniest things. : )
