Birthday party...attempt #2

Maddison was sick for her birthday, so webhad a party for her along with Chloe on Monday. We spent the day getting party favors...and glasses, which turned out to be a big hit! My mom was in town to help with the move, but since we didnt move, she just spoiled the kids with toys and Build-a-Bear. So, back to the party. The girls waited all day for it. After dinner, they opened gifts, and I could see Maddie was not feeling good. She said her head hurt. And, minute by minute, she faded away. Her fever spiked right about time for her to blow out her candle. All she wanted was dirt dessert, and she didnt even eat any. She finally felt better today! Thanks again mom for coming out for a few days!

We woke Bryan up just in time to join us! Maddie, fading away...

Donkey Roundup/Swimming

Last Friday, we got to the Munns house to say our goodbyes to the Anderson crew just in time for the donkey roundup!

Afterwards, my car was piled full. In it was me, Kara, Erika, and Josie in front. In the back, Duce, Hana, Maddie, Shelly and Chloe. Oh, and Erika had her lasso...still dont know why!

Everyone was hot, so it was one last swim together!

We miss you, Anderson Crew!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHLOE! I CANT BELIEVE MY BABY IS 3!

SCHOOL IS OUT

AND OF COURSE, THE TEARS CAME TODAY. I CAN NOT BELIEVE I AM GOING TO HAVE A 1ST GRADER AND KINDERGARTENER.

HANA AND MRS. MARRIAGE (SHE WILL BE A K TEACHER AT HARMONY!!!)

MADDISON HAD A PERFORMANCE TODAY!

NOT LONG AFTER THIS PICTURE, THE FLOOD GATES OPENED AND SHE GOT SO NERVOUS AND JUST CRIED! THEY TOOK HER DOWN TO SIT WITH ME.

MADDISON AND HER TEACHERS, MRS. PORTER AND MRS. B. WE FOUND OUT THAT MRS. PORTER IS GOING TO BE A K TEACHER AT HARMONY IN THE FALL. MAYBE WE WILL GET LUCKY AND GET HER AGAIN!

WE HAVE DONE IT AGAIN

A NEW PUUPY. I SWORE I WOULD NEVER DO IT AGAIN, AFTER TEX. IT WAS JUST TOO MUCH. BUT, WHEN BRYAN TOLD ME ABOUT THIS LITTLE ONE, I COULDNT HELP IT. HE HAS THE SAME DAD AS TEX, HE IS A FRENCH BULLDOG, AND ADORABLE. THE KIDS LOVE HIM! HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE THIS FACE?

THE ONLY PROBLEM...HE IS DEAF...COMPLETELY! IT WILL BE A CHALLENGE. BUT, AT LEAST WHEN HE SLEEPS, HE WONT BE WOKEN UP!

WEDDING

THE GIRLS HAD NEVER BEEN TO A WEDDING. SO, WHEN JORDAN AND SHANDA MUNNS GOT MARRIED LAST WEEKEND, THEY WERE SO EXCITED...MAINLY TO SEE SHANDA IN A WEDDING DRESS! SHE LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL! I STILL CAN NOT BELIEVE SHE GRADUATED HS THE DAY BEFORE!

CHLOE, MADDISON, AND KENNEDI.

ALL THE KIDS DANCING AND SHOWING OFF.

EVA STEPPED IN TO SHOW OFF HER MOVES!

JETT JUST SITTING BACK AND WATCHING IT ALL GO DOWN!

FIELD TRIPS, SWIMMING, AND SUCH

LOTS OF THINGS HAPPENING, I JUST HAVE NOT POSTED ABOUT THEM RECENTLY... HANA AND MADDIE TOOK A FIELD TRIP TO THE LAKEFRONT TOGETHER IN APRIL.

HANA HAD SWIMMING LESSONS WITH HER CLASS. MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT...SHE NOW WILL GO UNDER WATER! BIG DEAL FOR HER!

DUCE WAS THERE WITH HIS CLASS AS WELL.

ONE DAY AS I WAS PULLING IN TO SCHOOL TO DROP OFF MADDISON, WE GOT THERE JUST IN TIME TO SEE A HORSE BEING BORN. A MAJOR LEARNING EXPERIANCE FOR MADDIE!

MADDISON AND CHLOE LIKE TO GOOF AROUND WHILE HANA IS AT SCHOOL. THIS IS WHAT I FOUND ONE DAY. THEY WERE PLAYING "PET SHOP".

WE WENT TO THE BEACH IN DESTIN...

THE BOYS WENT GO-CART RACING (BRYAN, HIS BROTHERS AND COUSINS)

AND THE GIRLS AND I HAD OUR TEA PARTY FOR MOTHER'S DAY, SINCE WE MISSED IT AT SCHOOL.

MUCH MORE TO COME!!!
