In all the ways you can, In all the places you can,
At all the times you can, To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can." -John Wesley

Play Date

Maryn came over for a play date this morning. The girls had a great time riding bikes, eating popsicles and spaghetti, kicking the soccer ball and modeling for a few pictures!




Jessie's Preschool Graduation

Oh my goodness. My baby graduated preschool on Wednesday. How can that be possible already?? It seems like yesterday that I was leaving her for the first time with Miss Lanette. Now she reads books, knows her address and phone number, has great hand writing and is off the charts academically. I'm proud, but I have to be honest, I wish it would slow down. It's very cliche to say, but she is growing up too fast! Speaking of growing up, she answered the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" with "either a cat or a model". Haha!

Jessie, Britton and Sarah
Getting her cap and gown on!

Class of 2009!

Let's celebrate with cookies and cake!
Her big brother is so proud.
Mrs. Flannigan and Miss Ashley. Awesome teachers!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a blast at the Rivera's house last Sunday! The kids were in the pool for 10 HOURS! I had to peel Jessie out before she became water logged! There were a ton of friends there - the Higgs', the Benge's, the Jackson's, the Campbells and many more. I think I gained 5 pounds from all the food we ate. Nothing like a little sunburn, scratches from the pool, and weight gain to say you had a good time!


I have waaayyy too many pictures of Marco kissing Kendall's head
Not only was there a pool, but an awesome bounce house too!
Hey Jay, it's gettin' a little smokey out here!



These two think they are so cool!
Cutest girls in the pool!

Annie...

I took the kids to see "Annie" last night at Coppell Middle School West! Ashley Barnes had the lead role, and Natalie and Jacob Barnes were extras. All three of them did a great job! We were so proud of them! Here is a sweet picture of Grayson, Jessie and Jett with the star of the show...


Kenny Chesney 2009

The Kenny Chesney concert was a blast! He played for 3 hours and we had great tickets right by the stage in the sandbar! My camera isn't that great, but you can see how close we were! Can't wait to see him again next year!
