Our little girl, our first born, has finally finished elementary school. Next year she moves on to bigger and better things. JUNIOR HIGH!!! We are so proud of her. At her ceremony, she received 6 awards. That's right, 6. She received the Good Citizenship Award, Presidential Academic Award, Presidential Physical Fitness Award, Patrol Award, Honor Roll Award and Perfect Attendance Award. What a girl. She rocks. She is such a good girl. She is very nervous about Junior High, but we have no doubt that she will be as successful there as she was at Bennett Elementary. She is taking on Spanish next year and plans to try out for the soccer team. She's an incredible goalie. We love our baby girl.

Junior had his kindergarten program. The kids were so cute. He loves to sing, but when he came out to get on stage in front of all the families, I thought he was gonna pass out. He was so scared. But, he turned and there was mommy...then he smiled. He sang his heart out. They sang Old MacDonald's Farm. He was singing the pig part in the second picture. TOO CUTE.

Here are some updated pictures of our little man. He has found that thumb every once and awhile. Doesn't he look cute?
Charlie loves his Daddy. Especially his facial hair. I think this is my favorite picture.

This is our second attempt at rice cereal. Me thinks he likes it. Charlie grabbed my hand and wouldn't let it go. Look at that face when I ran out. I had to run and make a bottle ASAP before he got too upset.

Here is my darling little Alexandra. She's 10 going on 16 with the big teenager attitude to follow. She really is a great kid, especially when things go her way. This is a book report project that she did last week. I helped cut out the castle, but she created the design and did all the work to put it together. Look how proud she is. THIS IS A DEFINITE A+++++.

Here she is, our "baby girl." How beautiful does she look? She made everyone so very proud today. She loves her new gloves that Mamie gave her. She couldn't wear them for the actual ceremony, but afterwards, she slipped them on and took a couple of really sweet pictures praying to God! She looks like an angel.

We had all the family out to watch her take her first communion. She was a little nervous, but did a great job. She was too afraid to answer any questions that Father Mike gave the children, but you could tell she wanted to say something. After the ceremony, we came back to the house and had a lot of yummy pizza, sandwiches and cake. It was a wonderful day. Thanks to the family for coming out and being with us on this special day.

GO PADRES!!!!!!

Here we have Junior and his T-Ball team, the Padres, playing his old team, THE RED SOX. He looks like a natural doesn't he!?!?!? He really loves baseball. It gives him time to hang with the boys and have lots of fun. He actually hits from either side of the base, but is a lefty. Look at him leap to home. He was actually trotting like a horse. ARGHHHH, I don't know what I am gonna do with this comedian. The more he acts cute like this, the happy the crowd gets, and unfortunately it encourages his craziness. What a ham!
