End of 2nd Grade...

Keyton LOVED all of the sand!   

A short time out to pose with Mommy!

Still looking for something else to do in the sand...

In the football throw competition...

I cannot believe my little Keyton just finished his SECOND grade year!   Where on earth did the time go?   It seems like only a short time ago, I was holding him in my arms.   He is getting so big!   He is already up to my shoulders!   I am afraid he will be as tall as me by the 4th grade!   WHEW!   As always, there is many activities planned at the end of school.   After we test, we have some fun!   Keyton was chosen to be in the Science portion of the academic day this year and he placed 2nd!   I was so proud of him!   He also received a basketball medal, and participated in many other athletic events during achievement days!   The field trip he went on this year was to Celina to Donelson Park.   I had never been there but I went along behind the bus, as did several other moms.   It was a big playground along with sand...it was like getting to have recess ALL DAY!   They took sack lunches and were treated to blizzards to enjoy in the park shelter.   It was a great time!   Now, We are ready for a fun summer together!  Garrison is SUPER excited that we are done with school for the year.   He likes getting to be with us ALL DAY!!!   I love my life!

Dana has TWO BIG DAYS!!!

I have 2 sweet boys...

but I don't know if cake decoration is in their future!

:-)

The boys and I hung out at the playground...

until it was time for the election results to come in!

The MAN of the week!

Well, May 1st was Dana's 39th birthday!   I baked him a cake and the boys decorated it for him!   No matter how the outside looked, the inside was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!   I am not bragging, but that is the best cake I have ever eaten!   I don't know what I did, but whatever it was, I did it just right!   It didn't last long!   We took him out to eat for his birthday and he was treated to a cupcake and a Happy Birthday song!  

But...3 days later was the REAL PARTY!!!!!!   That is when he WON the Republican nomination for sheriff!   YAY!   We were so excited!   We have been waiting on this day for so long!   He got 1343 votes to his opponent's 551.   WE are so proud of him!!!   Now...it is on to the general election in August!!!

Go Dana!!!!

Garrison gets to go fishing!

Such a proud little face!

Checking out the water!

My sweet babies!

Poor little Garrison...he got a Spongebob rod and reel a long time ago and has never gotten to try it out! With Dana's crazy work schedule and our crazy lives, we have neglected to take Garrison fishing!   He has been begging lately, so we made the time to head up to Franklin creek.   We fished right over the bridge.   He had fun and loved helping put the worms on the hook.   However, I did learn that he does not yet have the patience of a true fisherman.   He wanted them to jump on the hook as soon as he threw it over!   He got so mad waiting to catch something!   In the end, the wasps  ran us away and we left empty handed!   We will try again this summer!     It was a fun evening with my three guys!
