Field Day 2019

Field day was hot again this year!  I helped with the morning field day group (K-5 through 2nd) and Bert helped with the afternoon group (3rd through 5th)

Mrs. Hiller's class getting ready for a game! 

Hannah's class having fun! 

Emily's class got wet and muddy, but had a fun fun time! 

We're thankful for all the hard work that Paris puts in to making this a great day every year for the kids! Looking forward to next year already!

These Days

Sometimes the girls get to go to their dad's office for an hour or so and they LOVE it!  This day Emily had an orthodontist appointment so I had a friend pick Hannah up from school and then drop her off at the church.  

They all four took swimming lessons at the West Side Aquatic Center this year.  Abby and Claire were in the same group for the first half of the session, but then they moved Abby up to the next level.  Claire was in the same level (bottom) all of last year and this year (because she refuses to get her face wet).  Poor nugget.  Claire has fun in the water as long as you don't splash her. Maybe she'll keep warming up as the summer goes on.  Proud of all 4 of them!!  

Happy girl! 

I did a Bible Study with some ladies and enjoyed it! 

Field trip to a Strawberry patch for Hannah Beth! 

We've been meeting with our Friday morning Bible study (we meet every other Friday) for about 2 years now.  We went away on a one-night trip to Stacy's lake house in mid May.  It was so good for us to get away.  I'm so thankful for every one of these ladies! 

We had a kiddie pool day one day before the big pool was opened!  I love this picture! 

Hannah and Emily asked if we could go eat lunch at school with them one last time before the school year was over, so we did! 

One day Bert was home with just the little two and he let them have some sprinkler fun! 

Bert raked and planted grass in our back yard and it looks soooo good! I thought we should document a before and after:  

Emily got to go on a field trip to Columbia.  She has talked about this field trip a million times this year and I think it lived up to her expectations.  They had so much fun! 

They took charter buses and had to leave the school at 6:30am.  

Emily loved having her Daddy with her! 

May was crazy busy as usual, but we're so thankful for all the things/people/activities that make us "busy."

Dance Recital

The girls had another great year of dance!  Emily and Hannah were in the same class this year which was soooo nice for me! 

Claire had a great first year and was excited about her first recital!

Claire was in a class with Charlotte, my friend Kristin's daughter.  I loved getting to chat with Kris every week.  

Claire's class with their teacher, Ms. Tori

Emily's button popped off her costume literally two minutes before they were walking on stage.  I told her not to worry about it (because I didn't have the thread or the skills to do something about it), but another mom said she had a sewing kit and different mom said she could sew it back on, and the whole thing took about 1 minute.  It was seriously impressive and a little hectic.  Emily's class had already left to get ready to go on stage so as soon as she finished sewing her up I ran to where she was supposed to be and then ran to the audience so I didn't miss their performance.  

Emily got her 5-year award and Hannah got her 3-year award.  Both girls are very proud of their trophies and they should be! 

Grandmama and Pawpaw drove up for the recital and we loved having them with us! 

Mimi and Papa took a break from their moving weekend just to come over and cheer the girls on! 

Abby stayed with Stanley and Alisha in Toccoa and we drove back over there as soon as the recital was over to finish up the big move!

We're thankful for our studio!  Recital weekend is always soooo fun for the girls!
