Birthday Times Two

Five years ago today I received the best birthday present ever....my cute, spunky Makinley. It is so fun to share a birthday with her! Makinley turned 5. She is really growing up. Today we just hung out, me and the girls did our nails and had a little girl time while the boys slept. I had a soccer game that night so we didn't plan the usual family party, but will be having it later this weekend. We got just a little cake from the store so Kinners could blow out her candles. She had fun opening her presents. She too got a Leapster like Taelor and a game. She also got a "little pet shop" house, some chalk, bracelets, paper and stickers and some treats. We had a good day and just enjoyed being together. At the soccer game Tyler's parents came (Ty's brother is on my team as well) and they brought cupcakes for all of us, and my mom and brother came with balloons and treats for me. It was very thoughtful of them. We won our game thank goodness, or it might have just spoiled out day!! We will do some more partying this weekend. One day is never enough for us! Happy B-day Kinners. I love you!

Schools Out!

Well another school year has come to a close. Taelor just loved 1st grade. Her teacher Mrs. Bodily was just amazing! Tae really loved her. She even got teary eyed on the last day when she had to say good-bye to her friends and teacher. Poor girl, she is just like me, I always hated when school was over in elementary. Taeler did really well in school. Her favorite thing was probably recess. She does excellent in Math and Reading. She loves to learn and loves the social part of school as well. I cant believe she will be a 2nd grader next year. Makinley will be joining her in the fall. Can you believe it?! I will have two kids in school! Roosevelt Elementary is becoming a chapter 1 school in the fall so they will be offering full day kindergarten. It will be a adjustment for me as well as Makinley. It will just be me and the boys in the house all day. But I will worry about that in the fall.....for now we are off to enjoy summer!!
This is Taelor with her friend Jade. We were not able to round up her other friends, they were too excited that school was out and they took off! (smart kids :)
