Kennedy finally goes to the American Girl Store





Kennedy and I traveled with some friends to the American Girl Doll store in Atlanta on Thursday. I was suppose to take her for her birthday (February), but we just found time to go. She has American girl dolls and accessories, but we've ordered everything online. The store was a blast. We had lunch at the Bistro, where they had high chairs for their dolls. I kinda lost my mind a little. I was encouraging her to get WAY more than she even wanted. I found a doll I wanted for myself. It was so fun, it was like being a little girl again. We can't wait to go to the ones in Chicago and New York.

Graduation!!!!!




Carter graduated from preschool on May 15th. It was a very hard day for me. He is growing up so fast and it breaks my heart that he and I won't be able to spend our days together anymore. I asked him to stay home one more year with me, but he said "I'm five...I have to go to kindergarten....It is the law!". He is so ready to start big school. He led the class and guest in the Pledge of Allegiance at the ceremony. Brad and I were so proud. My baby is really growing up!

T-ball is Over!




Carter finished his t-ball season. He starts a baseball camp next week and plans to play fall ball when school starts. Looks like I'm destined to be a baseball mom!

Kennedy and the Enrichment Program!

Kennedy was selected to be part of the Enrichment Program at her school next year. We are so proud of her! The Enrichment teacher observed the 2nd grade students all year and tested several based on observation and teacher recommendations. She did well enough to be part of the program next year. It is for 3rd thru 5th graders. It is similiar to the Gifted and Talented program in Louisiana. Way to go, Ken!

My Husband Rocks!!!!

Just wanted to shout from the mountain tops how wonderful my husband is. It all started Saturday night....he took me to dinner and a movie and bought me a birthday cake from my favorite bakery. Sunday morning, I was taken to Ross Bridge Resort for a day at the spa (massage, facial, etc.). I met him and the kids at the pool that afternoon. He watched the children while I sunbathed and listened to my ipod. I ate lunch with them and played with the kids a bit. That night, they took me to dinner then dropped me back off at the resort. I stayed there over night by myself! I took a bubble bath, read a book, painted my nails, and just relaxed! It was AWESOME!!!!!!! I slept in on Monday (my birthday) while he got the kids ready and took them to school. He picked me up and took me to lunch and spent the day with me. Monday night we went to dinner with the kids and friends of ours. He said I deserved all of the special treatment and he wanted me to know how much he appreciated me for all I do for our family. It was the best Mother's Day/ Birthday ever! At least for this week, I have the best husband in the entire world. Thank you, Brad. I love you!!!!!
