Backyard camping!

Had a great time with setting up "camp" in the backyard. 

After Don taught Abigail how to set up our tent we decided to sleep under the stars! Was so nice until around 2:00 am when the sprinklers turned on! I woke up and thought it was raining and Don was no where to be found... I thought he abandoned us to finish his night in our bed!

 Nope he was in the garage turning the sprinklers off! 

We enjoyed a campfire, roasted hot dogs and made smores, played games, a bike ride to the Snow Shack, told camp fire stories and sang songs, and had a great time watching the fire department put out a fire from a power pole that blew up. Oh and I can't forget that we very much enjoyed being the kittens play land ALL NIGHT LONG!

We had a great night spending it together and making memories. 

Bridge and Badge Ceremony

This was Abigail's 3rd and last badge ceremony for being a Girl Scout Daisy, a fun camp party, 

& her year end pool party and bridging Ceremony for becoming a BROWNIE

She has learned a lot, earned many badges, and most importantly made new friends! 

Goodbye to 1st grade

Schools out for summer!!

Can I get an AMEN? 

So sad that my little girl is growing up so fast BUT so happy to have the summer back and NO school!! I have personally struggled this year with getting her to school on time and managing my work schedule. Ahhhhh many times!

Abigail did really well in school and again we felt like she was a bit bored and was not being challenged enough... I really wished I would had known I could have had her skip kindergarten. Her teach was great but lacked when it came to positive reinforcement and encouragement. Many times she reported that Abigail just told her that she was done reading... As I see it they read until the teacher says they are done. There is no giving up and no un-finished projects. But she was also rough around the edges and I should have listened to my head when it told me repeatedly to try to get her moved to another class. This is something that will not be ignored for 2nd grade. Abby excelled in reading. She is reading above her grade level. She is really great at math and enjoyed science. It has been amazing to watch her blossom. She is very independent but is very attached to her mom and dad. No complaints on that one! We are again trying to get her into the local charter school for 2nd grade. If I get to be a stay at home mom sooner then later I will home school but for know that isn't an option. I am so very proud of her and I am not counting the days for school to start in the Fall!

Field Day

fun fun FUN day! 

Abigail's school had a field day at her school. I was lucky enough to be able to go and spend the time with her and her class. They had a lot of lawn games, snow cone's,  and a dunking booth. 

Sweet treat

Mothers Day

Had a nice Mothers Day spending it with the two loves of my life. They took me to breakfast, the aquarium, and then to my favorite place to eat dinner. Cheesecake Factory. It was a great day. 

I woke up to a note which was glued to the wall... Then a key chain (As Abigail calls them) to follow into the kitchen to three lovely cards made by Abby.
