Wordless Wednesday - Looking for the other toy he had!

Where did the time go???

Where did the years go? My oldest child will complete his last day of kindergarten tomorrow and will offically be on his way to the first grade. In fact, when I picked him up at school yesterday he said - "you can now call me an 'almost first grader'" - oh my, my heart got heavy.

As if my emotions where not running wild enough, his teacher gave our family this gift. She is a fabulous lady and words can not describe how fortunate we were to have her as my sons teacher. She taught him so much. She gave us a kindergarten scrap book. She spent her time creating a memory book filled with pictures of my son and his class, art projects he did, handprints, and memories that I could have never captured without her help. I will cherish this gift forever. I wanted to share the most special pages below and to show off what a special lady his kindergarten teacher truly is.

The cover.

I love handprints.

This blue string was his length on the first day of school. He then was remeasured and had grown 2 inches.



Fall pictures.

This brought tears to my eyes!

Christmas time.

Spring projects.

Signatures of his classmates.

and a special message from Mrs. Shank.

ahhh....where did the time go?

Monday Mugs - Play

This week's theme is "play" and my boys love to play.

Whether were "playing" & helping Daddy mow the lawn...

or "playing" on the monkey bars, or maybe...


"playing" t-ball last year when we made our first hit ever,



...we love to climb and "play" at our favorite park, or...

loading up a water gun, and laughing as Mommy gets wet, but...


Sometimes, after a long day of "play", we just want to sit & relax on the swing and "play" a little by ourselves.

Happy Monday, Have a Good week!

Friday Fill Ins

And...here we go!

1. Anywhere is my favorite place to travel to.

2. When I think about my childhood, I often remember playing with friends and having fun.

3. A trusting, kind, sole makes for a good friend.

4. The wind in the trees, the rain on my skin, the humidity in my hair :).

5. Good news is so exciting!

6. My best friend knows everything about me.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to a t-ball game, tomorrow my plans include a birthday/pool party at a friends house with all the kids, and Sunday, I want to spend the day at a man-made beach near our home and do some house cleaning!

This picture didn't scan well, but it's Ray and I in Houston Texas during spring break, junior year of college.

The 2 of us flew out together to visit some of my family.

It was a great trip ~ 1998.
