It's been a BUSY life!

Wow! We have had a busy few months! The end of school was crazy and then summer hit full force. Here are a few pics of the last few weeks of school.

I was able to take the day off and go with Kaylee on her 3rd grade field trip. I am taking advantage of this while she still wants me there!! They went to Simpson's Western Museum in Enid and then to the park for a picnic and just running around for the rest of the afternoon. The museum was very interesting and the kids had a great time. They also film westerns there so they got an education of movie sets at the same time.

Uh Oh! What did she do!
This was interesting to see how a movie set jail cell looks.

The whole 3rd grade on the "hotel stairs"

Kaylee w/ a few of her friends in the "saloon"

The next few pics are of our Lil Olympics day. They both participated in 4 events, but I only captured a few in pics. It is hard to watch/picture them and take care of the class I am an Aide for too. Traci, the teacher, and I try to make sure each other gets to our kids events, but it doesn't always happen. Kaylee participated in the 50 yd dash, 100 yd dash, softball throw and 2 man relay. She came home w/ 2 2nds, a 3rd, and a 4th. She was not overjoyed with this years results, but she had fun anyway. Braden participated in the 50 yd dash, obstacle course, tug of war and the 2 man relay. He received 2 4th place ribbons and was VERY excited about those! And the highlight was when he realized that the two of them totaled 8th place!! LOL!!

Kaylee is in the middle of the back row. She is in 2nd place right now!

And they hand off! Her partner is the 2nd on the right. They are still in 2nd!

Braden running the 50 yd dash. He got 4th in the finals!

Finishing up the obstacle course with the slip-n-slide

The last day of school always begins with Awards Assembly. Both kids had a great school year! We could not have asked for better teachers for them and were VERY pleased with the progress they made this year.

Braden with his awards. He received a reading award (for independently reading at least 25 books), was Star Student for the Month of April, and was the top boy reader for his class. Braden ended the year reading on a 3rd grade level!

Kaylee had a great year also! She received the reading award (for reading 25 books), Star Student for April (funny huh!), and was on the Principals Honor Roll all four 9 weeks! Third grade is a tough year and she had a little bit of a hard time getting adjusted at the beginning of the year, but ended with flying colors and made HUGE changes in the mean time! We cannot be prouder of her and her accomplishments this year both academically and personally.

Well, that was pretty much the last couple of weeks of school. Oh yeah, add softball practice/games, baseball practice/games, tumbling, ending the school year myself, being pregnant and then all the other things life brings to you! We were very busy (who am I kidding, we are still busy!) but had a great time doing it all. I will post some our summer activities later, hopefully I will get that done before a month goes by!

Oh, and on baby news!! She is still a girl!! She is growing good. As of my last Dr. apt I have gained 9 lbs and her heartbeat was strong. They did another ultrasound and she looked great!! She is very active, until her Daddy tries to feel her, then she stops. She is being a stinker already!! :) Big sister and brother are very excited to meet her! We are beginning to get and pick things out for her. Now we just have to figure out where we are going to put all this stuff!! Oh well, it will all work out.

Well, that is all for now! Hope you enjoy this update, sorry it was so long!! I will try to do better now that school is out. Have a great day!
