HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY, HANKIE!!!

Our oldest son, Hank, just turned 6. We are so proud of how well he is growing up:):)

Here he is with his birthday presents:):)

A ball we can take with us on our runs:)
and a JUMBO BONE:)
Oz wanted in on the festivities too:)
You know how it is with multiple children... Oz had to get a treat too:)

In his defense, Oz was 2 1/2 years old on June 18... so it was his half birthday:):)

Daddy got a treat too... (multiple children:):))

WHEN HE WALKS, WE ARE ALL IN TROUBLE!!

Garrett is always up to something! He knows what he wants to do and by george he is going to do it!

Right now, G has a wheelchair becuase he hasn't decided he can walk yet:) However, let it be known that this child will walk and when he does......

WE ARE ALL IN TROUBLE!!!!:):):)



HMMMM... Ms. Keisha & Ms. Shae... Motivation to walk?? G, you just gave up your secret:):)

ESY GETS STARTED

Today was the first day of our ESY Program. I really don't know my audience just yet, but to catch you up to speed, I am the head director of the ESY program and have spent MONTHS in preparation for this day (with the help of my ESY committee).

I started off at the Elementary campus (3 year olds through incoming 4th graders) and saw some new faces among the group of what will be up to 35 kiddos - WOW!!!. They will all come through my doors at OW sooner or later because we hold all the programs and know all (or most) the kiddos becuase of Little Cooks Cafe.

Then, I went to the High School campus (incoming 5th graders through 22 year olds) and saw all MY kids. Seriously, all but 5 of the 20 kids have come through my room either as my kid or as my shared co-teach kid. It is crazy to think, but this will start my 10th year to teach... YIKES!!!! I should have written a book!!!

I, of course, took TONS of fun pictures to post on the website and share with you guys too. However, I can't put all of them up yet because I have to wait on parent permission.

The good news is that I can share one event with you because I know Garrett's parents are cool with the internet:)

For starters, it was Garrett's 12th birthday today. The kids sang Happy Birthday to him and then EVERYONE got YUMMY cupcakes that his mom and dad sent.

Everyone really enjoyed them... especially Garrett:):)

Seriously shocked he didn't dive face first into the cupcake... To ensure cleanliness, since we his next move was to go home on the bus in about 10 minutes, Ms. Keisha helped G eat his cupcake:):)

YUMMY!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GARRETT ("G" "SNOOKS")!!!

WE LOVE YOU!!!
