Last Day of 1st Grade

I can't believe my baby will be in 2nd grade this next school year! This one went by way too fast. I have to give a shout out to his teacher Mrs. Blackmon!! She is a WONDERFUL teacher and friend to us. She has put up with Keller for 2 years now because she had him in pre-k too. He was so excited to have her this year and wanted to know if she would go to 2nd grade with him. How we both wish she would!! I will miss dropping him off at Rusk Primary, but I know he had 3 great years there and made tons of memories.

Thanks a ton for putting up with them; it truly takes someone special for this job

and i know Keller will miss you next year.

We Love BASEBALL!!

We LOVE this time of year for lots of reasons...mostly BASEBALL!!

Two of the three boys play and although it gets crazy at times, we love it! Garrett is in Pre t -ball and Keller moved up to machine pitch this year. Aaron and our friend Troy coach Garrett's team, THE GREEN MACHINE! And he helps coach Keller's team, the YANKEES! Garrett has one more game this weekend, but Keller still has a while to play because they get to go to the playoffs. So if you want to see us just come to the ball field. I'm the one chasing a 2 yr old and a 4 yr old around, trying to watch Keller play, going to the concession stand 100 times, or trying to stop one of the boys from peeing in front of everyone even though we are outside!! And I usually leave looking like I've rolled down the big dirt hill WITH my kids, but I know these days won't last forever, so I cherish everytime we get to go see our little boys play!

Aaron, Garrett, and Brett on opening day! Go Green Machine!

In the dug out, how patient they look here, but it actually gets pretty crazy in there

since there are 12 3 & 4 yr olds all in there at the same time
