One Proud MaMa!!

Little B receiving the Presidential Fitness Award. There were certain criteria that he had to meet in order to receive this award!! He is getting the award from our awesome PE teacher Mrs. B!!
Getting his AR Award. Each book that he reads has a point value they accumulate all year. Twice a year they have an AR store that the kids can buy things with their AR points it is really cool!! He had 176 point!!
Little B got the Citizenship Award this year for his class. His class voted and the teacher as well. One boy and one girl are chosen. This is based on a child's character traits and the way they treat others. WOW so very very proud buddy!!
Last but not least Honor Roll!! Keep it up bud!!
Little B and his WONDERFUL teacher Miss G!!
She is a great teacher and we feel very lucky to have had her!!

I work at the same school that Little B goes to and I did not know about any of these except the AR one!! It was one of those fight back the tears days so the kids around me didn't think I was crazy (well or at least confirm their suspicions!!) I am so PROUD of all he accomplished this year. Way to go buddy keep up your awesome spirit and the WONDERFUL YOU that God made!!!!

Party Time

Aunt R, Cousin Z, and Uncle M

I love when this gang gets together. We don't get to see them as often as we would like but when the kids get together they pick up right where they left off. It is so much fun to watch them together.

Cousin E and Baby B had a lot of fun!!

The 4 boys all dressed up! Z and Baby B! These two are double trouble when they are together but they sure have a lot of fun!!

Cousin Z graduated from High School this year which meant time for a family party!! Their house was full of family it was good to see everyone. The kids had a great time playing with cousins as usual. Cousin Z will be entering the field of Nursing this fall. He was awarded one of the scholarships given out during the graduation ceremony. It was definitely a fun night!! I can't believe we will be having the next graduation party next year for Big B!

Cousin H's Play!!

Cousin H is second from the left.

Our Broom!!!

The last scene!

My niece was in a production of Beauty and the Beast this past weekend and we went down to watch. She did a GREAT job we were so proud of her!! It was Baby B's first play and she did pretty good except for the loud announcement of her needing to go poop!

Pictures from the Weekend

Little B is on the rod floor and the kid that won is actually walking down the side!
Little B with his coach, she is the best!! She rode home with us and I am sure it was a ride she will not forget I just hope she doesn't think we are too crazy!!
It always amazes me how high he gets. I love the look on his coaches face as she watches him practice. She truly cares for each kid on the team.

He is doing his ball out here but it is really blurry

State Champ!

Little B had his state competition this past weekend and it went well. He qualified for nationals in three events and that also allowed him to do syncronized tramp since he qualified in regular. He ended up with a 3rd, 4th, and 1st Place!!!! He got first place in sub-advanced trampoline!!! His pass is above. I felt so bad for him he was waiting to go for almost a minute but it seemed like forever when he was up there. The key is to stay on the X in the middle of the tramp and he did all but the last trick at the end! We are so proud of him and the hard work he has put into all of his events. Looking forward to nationals in Springfield this June! This will be his last tumbling meet...he is going to start pole vaulting and track this fall.

Easter 2010

The First Egg!!!
Little B had to make sure they were in long enough to be bright!!
Checking on the color.....

"this waiting stuff stinks!!"

Look at all my pretty colors!!!!!!

After Church at Grandma's house.

The N grandchildren! We laughed because the outfits matched and we didn't even know what the other one had bought!!

It was SSOO windy it was almost too windy to fly kites!

Baby B loved her egg hunt!!

Smelling some beautiful spring flowers!

Baby B giving Baby K her egg! These two cousins are going to have a lot of fun growing up together.

This is how you do an egg hunt on the farm.....in a gator! Baby B, Big B, and Cousin J reading their clue to find their next egg!

Big B checking with PaPa to find out where he needed to go next!

Little B hunting by foot!

And now in the Gator. Some clues were close but others needed some transportation to get to them!

Little B had another reaction to something outside so he was in for the rest of the afternoon at Grandma G's.

The boys with their big toys!

After a little muddin with the cousins.....

This was good Cousin J flipped his 4 wheeler with his girlfriend on the back in the creek!!! They are making many memories together.

Baby B having a tea party with Aunt R. Baby B napped most of the day away, but at least she was in a good mood when she woke up!!!

Easter Sunday was spent with family. We started the day at church and the rest was spent with both of our families. The kids had a great time with all of their cousins as usual!! The most important thing was celebrating the true meaning of the Easter Holiday. We had our youth group over on Friday night to watch The Passion of the Christ! It was awesome to see 15 kids reaction to that movie. It is so hard to watch what Jesus went through but also a wake up call to the sacrifice he made for each of us. We are so blessed!!
