Lilly's Last Day of Kindergarten

 We sure will miss Mrs. Bolt!  What a great year of Kindergarten!  What an awesome teacher!  You should see the HUGE scrapbook/binder Mrs. Bolt made ALL the kids in class - A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

A BFF for -EVA!

 Can't forget to give mad props to Ms. Hortis, too!  You ROCK Ms. Hortis!

Can't believe this little on the left will be starting Kindergarten in the Fall - and the little in the middle is all done.  My heart you girls grow so fast.   Since I'm always late with blogging, I would say I'm "looking forward" to summer but we are in the throes and loving every minute of it.  Being a working Mama was hard the first few years but man alive it's paid off because we are LOVIN' our summertime funtime together.
Love you girls.
Mama

Sunrise with Daddy

 We went to the OBX last week with our family and it was amazing - what was even more amazing is that Daddy woke me and Anna Jane up (each on our own special day) to have a Daddy Sunrise Morning.  First up - Lilly!  I got to watch the sunrise over the beach...

 I saw a rainbow...

 And I got to see wild, wild horses...

It was the perfect morning date with my favorite man.  Love you, Daddy!
Love,
Lilly, Anna Jane, and Jack

Happy First Day of Summer Vacay!

It's gonna be a GREAT SUMMER!!!

Recital Night!

 It was a very long year of dance.  I'm not gonna lie.  Every Thursday at 3:00 PM I would start whining and crying about how much I hate dance because Mean Ms. Melanie MAKES US DO SPLITS.  It wasn't until about February (after Mama had paid the dern recital fee and costume deposit) that I finally stopped complaining (because Mama threatened to throw Big Dog in front of a truck if I didn't can it).  No, really, she would never hurt Big Dog but boy did her ass get tired listening to me cry.  So recital was kind of like reaching the finish line of a marathon minus the glory.

 This is Whitney, my sweet little dance partner.  We carpooled together this year so her Mama got to listen to me complain every other week.  And every other week when it was my Mama's turn to drive little Whitney would say, "Mrs. Kristen, can we get ice cream?  Mrs. Kristen, can we get Chick-Fil-A?  Mrs. Kristen, I'm hungry."

 Also interesting to note, Whit's birthday is in April just like Anna Jane's though she is a year older - but AJ overtook her this year in stature!  Whitney was handing clothes down to Anna Jane!  Not no more!

 We've got about 25 pictures of Anna Jane posing backstage.   She LOVED recital.  LOVED it and did a great job!  She also almost never complained about going to dance this year - maybe she'll do it again???

 Are these girls the arm pop rock masters, or what?

 Anna Jane is a natural at the arm pop.  It's so CUTE.

 She even got her little friend Livia to do it, too!

Thanks for a great year, Ms. Melanie!  It was fun!
Check out our dances, too!


(Lilly's is really blurry, unfortunately!)

Lilly, Anna Jane, and Jack

Precious Moments

Oh, Lilly - these moments go too fast.  In less than a week you are going to be a 1st grader.  A real big kid.  It was just a minute ago I was blogging about you eating peas for the first time or pooping on the potty.  Feels like a lifetime ago already.
I love you, little Bean.  I love you, Anna Banana Bear.  I love you, JackMan.  I wish you could stay my little babies forever - and in my heart I suppose you will - but the world needs you and all the love you bring to it.  Spread it around, go get you some life stuff.  I'll just keep treasuring these precious little moments while I can.
Love,
Mommy
