Lexi's Awards Ceremony & Last Day of 3rd Grade

Lexi had a GREAT 3rd grade year. We were at a new school - just for one year - until our new one got built. There were LOTS of changes!! First year of TAKS, new school, new friends...
Such a WONDERFUL 3rd grade year!!
The LAST time Lexi walked out of the doors at TvE!

Lexi with her FABULOUS teacher - Ms. Seals.
Who - is going to our new school,... so maybe Cooper will get to have her one year.
Popsicle Party!


Cooper is SO proud of his sister.
(By the way - the MoHawk was *HIS* idea!)

Lexi's Field Day

Lexi's school has Field Day towards the end of the year.
As always, it was LOTS of fun, but got cut short because a gnarley storm blew in.
But - we had LOTS of fun until then:

Cocunut Water Races


I made the class flag :)


Not Field Day related,... but here is a cactus taht Lexi had to make for a class project.
They made a desert landscape... she picked the BIGGEST thing out there.
But, she did 99% of the work and it turned out SO cute!







Awanas Graduation

The kids attended Awanas all year long. It is such a GREAT program where they learn Bible verses and about missionaries. The kids LOVE it.
Cooper has had the same teachers for 3 years... it is very bitter sweet.

Cecil the Cyst

Lexi had a cyst on her arm that was giving her trouble. It was growing and changing colors.
So - "Cecil the Cyst" had to come OUT!
SO LONG CECIL!




A HUGE thanks to my parents, Clarence's parents, and ALL of our
wonderful friends & family who were SO sweet to us at this time...
your prayers, phone calls, cards, gifts, and LOVE was SO overwhelming!!
We are TRULY blessed!

Food Fun in May!







RRBL Night at the Dell Diamond

RRBL had a night at the Dell Diamond where all the kids got to go and walk the fields in a parade. Of course - we had such a GREAT time!!
Cooper and his friends, Nathan & Mark
Parade time... GO CUBS!









Birthday Party Fun - May 2010

In May, we got to attend some FUN birthday parties and celebrate some very special kiddos :)

Cooper's First Field Trip!!

Cooper got to go on his First Field Trip :)
It was a tour of HEB... the kids LOVED it!
The funniest part that I found, was that Cooper took the "Buddy System" *VERY* serious!
Of course, his buddy was a precious and sweet girl, Kate.
Kate & Cooper on the bus:
They held hands so they wouldn't get seperated from one another:


They held hands as they learned about lobsters :)


More hand holding :)



They were side-by-side as they enjoyed a yummy homemade tortilla.



They held hands as they walked through the bakery department :)




They held hands in produce :)




It was TOO cute!!






Random-ness in April

I do NOT have a green thumb at all - but I *DO* try!!
So,... when this decided to bloom after years of not, I HAD to take a picture!


We spread dirt in the yard...
The kids were filthy and SO stinky!
That "Dillo Dirt" took me back to last years ACL Fest. ha ha ha...


The kids are trying to pose and act like they are SOOOO over-worked.
