4th grade reveiw

Who is the coolest 4th grader this year?  Oh yes..... here she is..... a quick year in review.  I cannot belive how much she has grown and changed!  She is SO smart and funny and witty!  How is it possible that another school year has flown right by?

Patriotic decor and more

Well, I think we all know I may or may not have an unhealthy obsession with many crafting things and these marquee letters are no different.  I had a BLAST setting up my patriotic décor....I can't wait to set it up again for the Olympics too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WOO HOO!!!!! 

 

For Memorial Day we were trying a few fun foodie things that we don't usually make.  My dad came over for grilled steaks and corn on the cob OHHHH YUM!

 

I found this idea on pinterest....cookie bowls!! YUM!!! 

 

So I got some gluten free cookie mix.... YUM!

 

 

Ummmm.. total fail!

 

 

We ended up with this....

 

At least my watermelon lemonade slushies were wonderful!  These babies are on my OMG YES PLEASE list of summer drinks!

 

 

And Mikayla and I made some snickerdoodle ice cream too. (topped with cookie bowl crumbles) LOL

 

 

It was a great day!

 

Beauty

I choose to see the beauty in things..... I see beauty in treasure in this little girl :)

 

We went down to some of our favorite marina's for a drive through and a picnic.  Then we went down to Galveston and then stopped for a swim on the way back home again, my little fish LOVES to go swimming.

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

I think I'm convinced she's part mermaid! 

4th Grade year end party

We went to Mikayla's year end celebration last week!  It was FUN!! Her teacher also put together a fantastic slide show of the year..... I cannot believe how much Mikayla has learned and grown this year!  WHERE DID MY BABY GO!!!!  She left this lovely young lady in her place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Field Day

Whew I'm telling you - the year end crazies are with us!!!!  After having to move field day three times because of weather.... They were able to finally have it!  We had to make our own Tshirts for the day - just so they were red.  Their class named their team and we ran with it.

 

We even made one for her teacher so they could match :)

They had a GREAT day! 

Busy days

Who says weekends are for rest??  They didn't have a Spanish study date at 8:00 in the morning on a Saturday.  (no picture proof for this one LOL)


They didn't have a school picnic a few hours later....

They didn't have a neighborhood spring fling and pool opening party......

Nor did they have a slumber birthday party later that day either! 

Whew!  All good things but wow, it was a really busy day!!

Our Final Little Flowers

What an incredible 5 years we have had with little flowers.  It is rather bittersweet coming to the end of our journey but what memories and friends we have made along the way.

 

 

 

We enjoyed our time together, I didn't capture a ton of pictures because it didn't feel necessary to.  We prayed, crafted, and played.We will always remember how it made us feel to be there and be together with our friends. 

 

The girls were giving their final good bye, everyone else had left before this and they were still playing together and had an impromptu group hug. 

 

 

It was a great experience.  We have learned a lot!!!

 

 

Our beautiful girl.... I hope she has such fond memories of growing up.  I hope she sees how much fun we have together and not the "working" side of parenting.  I hope I make it look easier than I think I think it is.

 

Here is Mikayla on our first day of  the Little Flowers Club.

 

 

 

And our last day.

 

 

This momma's heart is pretty full right now.
