preschool gradution

he went and did it.
graduated from preschool.
i still can't believe it that my oldest baby it that old.
maybe that's why this whole blogging thing has been pushed to the side.

we couldn't be more proud of our guy.
he learned so much this year,
and met lots of new friends.

a few weeks before the program,
he practiced an opening prayer.
we had no idea that he would recite it all on his own.
and he nailed it (fever and all)!













the students made his wonderful teacher, mrs. norris, a quilt.
so much fun seeing how each child drew a picture of her.

tatum's 'twin' is three

we had a great time celebrating heagan turning 3.
pizza, pool, fun, friends, and a thunderstorm thrown in for good measure!
thanks for sending me these pictures samantha,
and for capturing our 'twins' together.















monkey see, monkey do

tatum has been big into doing EVERYTHING she sees someone else doing.
prime example, crawling on the floor with cousin will.
 
 


big girl seat

somebody finally broke 20 pounds this summer!
