Rangers Game

Kaden is a true baseball fan. He loves the game. I love watching his excitment and enthusiasm at the game.

First pitch of the night!

Kademan and me.

Kaden's favorite part of the game is the dot dot race. He choose green and won!

We had a blast and the Rangers won!

Ryan Thomas is Here!!!

My nephew Ryan is here. I am such a proud aunt. He is such a cutie.

Some more pictures from our trip.

Last week my wonderful Mother- in-law also known as Grannie watched the boys so Tim and I could take a vacation. The boys had so much fun I do not even think they missed us. Thank you so much Grannie!

Our first stop was Longview for Jason and Natlie's wedding. It was beautiful and it was nice to see everybody. After the wedding we were on our way to Tennesee. We pulled an all nighter and by that I mean Tim drove and I slept. We arrived in Tennesee early the next morning. We had so much fun river rafting 2 days in a row, mountain biking, and hiking to a waterfall.

I cannot take credit for these pictures. They were taken by Lisa and I stole them from facebook with permission from her. I now know to pack disposables and actually take pictures on a trip with water and other kinds of activities that you shouldn't take a digital camera to.

This was taken before we got into the boat the first day.

I was so scared but I faced my fear and loved it.

The whole group before we hit the river.

Our group mountain biking.


I loved getting to know this group of people!

I had a blast and faced alot of fears. It was a great trip and I came home with so many great memories.

Water Day

Karson's class had water day. It was right outside my classroom window so I got to watch and take pictures.

The whole class was waiting on their towels. Kars looks grumpy.

There was lot of running.

Kars was the first ready to go.

Summer Plans

With Kaden out of school for the summer and some extra free time I had a list of things I wanted to do.

- Six Flags
- Splash Pad
- Toy Story 3 - Check
- Rainforest Cafe
- Ride the train to Fort Worth
- A Rangers Game
- A Longview visit

School is going to start before I know it. I have to start planning to fit all this in 1 month. We have been going to the park and library every week but thats really it. I did get some pics of some summer fun.

Karson has been trying to climb this all summer by himself and keeps trying. I still have to assist at the top. Every time he gets to the top he says "I did it".

I have enjoyed Kaden being out of school this summer it has just been flying by and its almost time to go back. I plan to make the most of this last month together with a little free time we do not get during the school year.

When we moved to the house there was an extra drawer in the bathroom that was too small to fit most items. I made it my jewelry drawer. Kars watched me put on my jewelry one day and I knew my new found favorite thing would not last long. A few days later Kars came in the livingroom like this.

After I took this picture I organized and put it in a box out of his reach.

The last day of school was field day. I had to miss it for staff devolopment for summer MDO. I am thankful Tim could go and he took some great pictures.

Kaden and his friends in his class he is really

missing them this summer.

Kaden's team won most of the games. Go orange team!!!

It was a very hot day I'm so glad the kiddos got a chance to get wet.

Kaden's favorite part of the day.

I have enjoyed my 3 weeks off from MDO with my boys. I got some of my time off todo list marked off. So I changed it to a summer todo list. Tomorrow its time to go back to MDO. Kaden is excited about the summer program and all the fun things he gets to do. He also has his teacher from K5 for the summer and has some of his friends in his class from school. Karson will be happy to get back into a routine as well.

Kaden's Graduation

It's hard for me to believe that in a few short months Kaden will be a 1st grader.

The school had a graduation program for all the K5 classes.

Kaden saying his memory verse.

Kaden won an award for no marks in a 6 weeks and a reading award. Kaden read 360 minutes for the six flags reading program plus 35 books for the reading to bloom contest.

Karson watching his big brother.

Kaden drew a picture and wrote about what he wants to be when he grows up.

Kaden and his best friend Dawson.

The school served cake with the class graduation picture on it.

Kaden requested the peice with his face on it.

I am so proud of Kaden!
