Tractor Day

Today was Tractor Day!! The end of school has all sorts of fun things jam packed into it!!! These are some of the fun mom things I have looked forward to doing with the kids!!

I have a crazy/bad mom confession to make. I made Kylee a tractor shirt for Tractor Day! Oh man!! 

She was super silly this morning. 

We sat at cousin Ethan's house, and watched all them come by!! There was big ones, and little ones, old ones, and new ones! And only ONE red one!! :) I drove a red tractor my senior year, and still secretly like them! Don't tell Jason! *wink*

This guy loved it!! He told me he's going to drive the sprayer when he is a senior!

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was great! Kylee made me the sweetest things at school, and her handprint poem made me cry! I've read that thing a bunch of times. I think I'm more emotional about the end of Kindergarten than I was at the beginning. :( 

Saturday night Jason and the kids made me so cards. Jaxon made me a blue paper fan. Ha! And Kylee got into my "gift" stash, and they wanted to give me 2 candy bars, and a lip gloss! So sweet! 

We went to church, and Kylee made me another hand print flower pot in Sunday School. The kids each brought me a rose during church. When we got in the car to leave, Kylee said "Mama, I really wanted to get another rose for your new baby." Is she not the sweetest thing ever!! It never crossed my mind to get another one for our new baby, so she ran back in and got one! Love her! 

We ate lunch with Dad's extended family at GG's house. Ribs and chicken, and yummy desserts! It was a great day! 

Mother's Brunch & More!

Saturday at church we again enjoyed the Mother's Day Brunch at our church. The girls got there own table, which worked great, and Maggie was the only that spilled her drink! :) I think she may always be the one to spill something. Lol! It's so nice to have GG come every year!

Then we hung with Jason's Mom on Saturday and the family!

Isn't she the cutest sno-cone eater ever?

Then, the kids convinced Popsie to get out the slip 'n slide!! They have been begging for a while now, so they had a blast!!

The guys made some ribs, and then we played a few rounds of croquet!! 

Green Team

On Friday, the elementary participated in Field Day. It's really for the 1st-5th graders who have met certain AR goals throughout the year, but luckily the Kindergarten gets to participate anyways! Kylee's class was the green team! 

Partner Relay Races! The bottom picture they had to squeeze the fake pig between them without holding it, and she laughed so hard! I just loved it! 

They got to do bounce houses, and dress the teacher! The broken arm didn't slow her down at all!! In afternoon, they got ice cream cups and a DANCE Party!! I would have loved to have seen the kids at the dance party! 

Fun end of school stuff!! This week they get to buy a son-cone on Wednesday, which she is super excited about! And next week they have Tractor Day! Yay!

Pictures through Kylee's Fractured Arm

Last Friday evening, while I was hosting a church Paint Party at my house, Kylee was with my Dad and Duane at their house. She fell off the monkey bars, and hurt her wrist. When she got to me, I felt her little arm and knew it wasn't good. 

We went to the clinic, and with X-rays, they confirmed it was fractured, but not in the wrist. It was the radius, but real close to the wrist, and growth plates.

Tough girl wanted me to send this to Addi and Karter that night, when we got home!

On Saturday, we got our first son-cones of the season, at the best little place in town!! She was such a trooper! 

She went to school Monday with her bandage, and got some ice cream for making it 'all day' with no complaints according to her teacher! 

On Tuesday, we saw the orthopedic, and it was such a relief to hear, "it's not bad, and she should have no problems healing." That's good to hear! So, the hot pink cast it is!! And made it back to school to try and keep her perfect attendance award!! :)

Letting Them Go

We got invited to go to a birthday party at Mr. Gatti's a few weeks ago. The kids were OVER THE TOP excited! :) Maggie just followed in line with all the big kids! She's so cute!

Kylee's first time on the Bumper Cars! I remember playing on these same bumper cars at Project Graduation my senior year! Good times! They don't go very fast, but she didn't know that! 

Then, she got invited to go home after school with a friend in her class, to play for a little while at her house. BREAK MY HEART! Y'all, I don't know what it is……  I was kind of nervous all day that day, just wondering about her after school, and her making it ok without me.  

I want her to NEED ME! :( And she still does, but less and less….. It's sad. And a happy feeling at the same time. Parenting is hard; so many emotions involved. Jason tells me many times, "let her go on, and live her life." 

GASP! What!?! She's only 6, not 16!! But, I think the process is starting, of her learning responsibility and trust, getting to do things without us….. 

Anyways, they painted birdhouses while at the friends' house, but didn't quite finish them, so on Saturday morning, she let everyone help her finish! I love how Jason displayed it right in front of the house. She is proud of it, and she said, "Daddy made a little front porch for it!"

Night 4-Wheelin'

Our friend, Easton, has an awesome 4-wheeler like this one. We'll, I think Jason wanted to re-live his childhood, so he decided that we would go to Academy and just "look" at them. Yeah right! ;) 

The kids are loving it right now, and Maggie even drives it. It's a little scary, but she makes it!  

I feel a little safer with them in the wagon behind it, except Jaxon makes really sharp turns and nearly turns the wagon over! Eek!
