Last Days As a Family of 4

We let the girls pick where they wanted to go out to eat Saturday night as one last hurrah before Laynie came on Monday. Kennedy requested Sakura and Camryn wanted "Mexicana" (Casa Mexicana). She wanted white cheese dip and chips only! Since Sakura is also one of Mommy's favorites we got a to go white cheese dip and then headed to Sakura for a hibachi dinner! One last family picture!

We meet Robin, Mallory, and Katy for an afternoon swim!

Mallory and Kennedy

They love for Daddy to throw them - he cannot get too high! Check out that tongue!

While I was changing to go out to eat Camryn took a quick snooze on our bedroom floor! She still asks to take naps if she is tired!

Kindergarten Awards Ceremony

Receiving her awards from Mrs. Butzlaff

I would love to know what she is telling him!

Yesterday was Kennedy's Kindergarten Award Ceremony and last day of school. She got a Kindergarten Certificate for completing kindergarten, a Caught Being Good Award for consistently following rules, procedures, and directions, a Mathematics Award for understanding the different problem types, and a Reading Award for reading on above her grade level. She has made us so proud this year and we are looking forward to our summer home together! The above 2 pictures are her on the last day of Kindergarten and the first day of Kindergarten. I keep looking at it and am amazed at how much she has grown! So sad!
This is a 1300 picture video that Olivia's mom made. She surprised all the Moms and Dads with a copy! The kids were cracking me up laughing and reminiscing their kindergarten year. It will be so special to them one day!

Happy 6th Birthday Kennedy!

Kennedy's birthday breakfast request was pancakes, french toast, bacon and eggs. I consented but then our air conditioner broke and we spent the night with Jaxon and Maci so it kind of threw a kink in her plan. We decided to have jumbo cinnamon rolls instead and have her requested breakfast after our air was fixed. Luckily it wasn't anything major and they were able to fix it that day so she asked to have breakfast for dinner...that is what we did!

We checked her out for lunch/recess and went to her favorite place...Larry's Pizza!

It was career week at school and she got chosen to be the model when an Orthopedic Nurse came to talk to her class...not because it was her birthday - she did not tell anyone. Her teacher did not even know until I checked her out for lunch! She is so crazy!

Celebrating with her kindergarten class wih a birthday chocolate chip cookie

A birthstone ring from Gram and Poppy

One of their new favorite things to play with is a magnifying glass. I found this cute pink and green one and Camryn is trying it out.

A plasma car!

She wanted 2 of these cookies - one for school and one for home! Birthday girls always get what they want!

Happy Birthday Kennedy! I love you so much and hope you had a very special day!!!

Laynie's Baby Showers

My work gave me a diapers and wipes shower to welcome baby Laynie Drue and then a few days later Kristen hosted one at her house. She got fixed up and every day we get a little closer to her arrival!

A quick sister shot (all but Magan) before the next shower!

Maci, Kennedy, Ella Grace, and Anslee

Mamaw has gotten all the girls a sweet little dress! Aunt Carolyn got her a precious pearl bracelet. I can't wait to get her all dressed up!

Jan Jan got Kennedy and Camryn a rolling ball for their birthday. They LOVE it! Camryn still scares me when she gets inside. I think she forgets to hold on after the first upside down roll!

Slip and Slide FUN!!!

It was so much more fun when Daddy got out the sprinkler and Mommy got the Dawn dishwashing soap!
