Kindergarten Round 1

Slade graduated from Kindergarten this past week.  We have told him it is his round 1.  He will be going to Kindergarten in Aledo this year.  He had such a good year.  He has made so many friends and now can read at a 1st grade level.  We are so proud of him.  He is so smart and just wants to learn.  He also got Kindergarten student of the day.  I have attached his picture and I think it is so cute he wants to go to "Train Engineer School."  The pictures below are of Slade and his best friend Bryson, our family,  Slade receiving his diploma, and my mom and Slade.

March!!! My favorite time of the year!!

Wow!! I am amazed at how fast the time flies!!!  When you have babies, people always tell you to savor the moment.  Well, it is true. I can't believe that my babies are 3 and 6. It always makes me want another baby, but Brant is enough.... I love him to death, but God knew what he was doing when Slade came first and Brant second!!  I feel so blessed to have them both.

I had to go to Chicago for work on Brant's birthday this year. Billy's mom actually came in town on the 14th, so we decided to have a party for Brant at home.  It was perfect.  We had the family over and ordered pizza.  Brant got a drum set!  He was so pumped. He always talks about his friend's Bryson's drum set and now he has one!!!!  We regretted the decision when they were put together and they were very loud in our house!!! Not really, but man they are LOUD!!  Brant likes to watch the video of him blowing out his candles. It is so cute, he gets really embarrassed!!!

This year for Slade's birthday he wanted to go bowling.  This was a kind of hard birthday to plan because the bowling alley in Granbury is kinda scetchy and we decided to go to Main Event.  We invited his class and Cayden Hix and Caroline of course.  We had a great turn out and the kids bowled for an hour and then played games.   I think if Slade does not become a professional athlete, he might be a professional bowler.  He loves it!!!

Brant and Poppy

Brant is so super funny.  Poppy has to wear a special necklace because he has diabetes, and Brant asked him the other day, "Why do you wear a necklace like a girl?"  It was super funny, and then he asked Billy the other day, "Is Poppy tough?"  Sometimes I wonder were Brant came from.  He is wild and outgoing.  He makes my heart smile and he is so cuddly.
