12 More Years

Jeremy had his Kindergarten Graduation on the 20th.  He was quite excited.  I have been working with him and little group to teach them a little pig dance for the program.  We got there early because I wanted front-row seats.

Jeremy looked sharp in his suit.  They started the pomp and circumstance and all the little Kindergartners started walking down the aisle.

The program consisted of little groups doing dances while the kids in the background sang the song.  Jeremy's dance was "This Little Pig."  He looked so cute with his snout and ears.

He did great:

Zoey was the cutest.  She would shake and jive to every song.  She had a blast:

After the program, the principal called the names of all the students and then we took pictures like crazy.

This is Jeremy with Mrs. Lepein (his teacher).  She has done such a great job.  And Jeremy has learned so much this year.

Jeremy with Principal Ware.  She was one of my favorite teachers when I was in school. 

My little boy is growing up.  Matt and I were talking and it will only be 12 more years and he will be graduating High School.  Time goes by too fast.  Congratulations Jeremy.  I am so proud of you.  You have learned so much and I am excited for everything you have yet to learn.  You're my little man!!!

Boogie On Down

Bailee had her preschool graduation on the 16th.

They started the program and had them recite the alphabet and the number and then the singing began.  It was the cutest thing ever!!!  They would sing these cute little songs and do the actions and dance along with it.  Bailee did so great.

This is Bailee singing "Boogie on Down."  I wish I would have brought my video camera because she was such a little cutie.  After the program we had cookies and then went home and had a little barbecue.

She is getting so big.  She has learned quite a bit this year and I am so glad that she is my little girl.  Congrats Bailee!!!

My Last Year

This year is the last year that I will ever age.  I will forever be 29 now.  It was a great birthday.  Sharon showed up at my work with all the boys.  They brought me flowers and a card.  Ammon was so excited that he could actually write his own name.

Matt called up the Ludlows to inform them that it was in fact my birthday.  So they proceeded to tease me the entire day until I got a delivery:

After work, Matt ushered the kids into the spare bedroom where they all proceeded to wrap their presents for me.  Jeremy got me some air fresheners for my car, Bailee got me some lotion and a crystal figurine, and Pookie got me a card with a Scentsy candle coupon.  After the presents, he brought out the cake, and yes, he insisted on putting 29 candles on the cake:

But it was fun to blow out all the candles:

So after we had cake, I had to go to Stake Standards Night.  The Lenhart's picked me up and greeted me with a Birthday song and a candle.  It was a great night and if I must get older, I am so very glad that I can do it surrounded by the ones that I love.

A Rush of Relief

I'm so very glad that the month of May is almost over.  It has been a stressful one for me.  There has been a lot of stress and finally a majority of it has passed and I can breathe again.  It seemed like in the past two weeks, everyone wanted a piece of me.  But it is finally over.  Both Bailee and Jeremy had their graduations.  The HUGE project at work is over (so no more mean contractors calling me and being rude).  I cut some things out of my life that were causing me stress and problems and all is now right with the world.  Stay tuned for my updates on everything that has been going on from Mother's Day to my Birthday to Bailee's Preschool Graduation to Jeremy's Kindergarten Graduation to School Field trips to Memorial Day Celebrations.  I've got a lot to say.

Taking a Break

Looks like I will be taking a break from blogging to work through some other things that are going on.  I'll try to come back as soon as I can.
