Lawson’s Last Day of Kindergarten!

Today is the day.  The last day of Kindergarten for Lawson.  It has been a wonderful year and she has grown so much this first year of school.  I look back at pictures of Lawson from her first day of school to today and she is has changed so much.  I swear I just blinked and now I see no more signs of a toddler but a girl.  Sniff, sniff! 

She is reading well, her handwriting is gorgeous (she got an excellent handwriting reward), and really has come out of her shell as a shy child.  Back when Lawson started school we decided to send Lawson to a Magnet school.  As the year went on and our family grew the commute got that much tougher.  Plus, we have come to figure out we are pretty traditional people so traditional schooling is a better fit for us.  We have decided to pull Lawson out of the Magnet School and back into her base school.  We are very happy with our decision and feel our base school is going to be a good fit.  Plus, Lawson is super excited that she will be riding the bus.  Unlike the rest of her classmates Lawson will be going back to school August 1st as she will start year round school. 

Here is Lawson with her teachers.  We absolutely loved her teachers as did Lawson.  We have no regrets sending Lawson to the Magnet School for her first year because of these two fabulous women they have set a great foundation.

I thought I would show you a comparison of how much my kiddos have grown in 9 months.  Isn’t it amazing??? Both kids have grown over 3”.

One chapter of school is complete.  My baby girls is going into the 1st grade next year.  Holy moly! 

Well, we have 7 weeks to enjoy our summer and that is exactly what we are going to do.  A little bit of traveling, pool time, ice cream and picnics.  Fun, fun!!!

A style of our own

We have fun here with fashion…

Cowgirl boots look good with any outfit

Wesley “ Goggle man”

Then Cailyn is just cool no matter what she wears…

Rock your own style!!!

Memorial Day- Pool time!!

Caillyn’s First Time at the pool. How does she feel about it…

She LOVES it!!!

On Memorial Day we battled the crowds and went to the pool.  Cailyn and I just hung out in the shade but let me tell you she loved to watch everyone.

This is my attempt to get a picture of us both…

It is hard to tell but this is Collins having fun with Wesley!!

Lawson playing with her Arial Doll!

Water eyes…geez I went to Target today and forgot goggles!

Wesley having fun!!

We are super excited that the Spesshardts have joined the same pool so the kids will have some playmates.  With us both having 3 kids we will have to divide and concur this summer!!!

Cailyn says…”Stay cool!!”

Cailyn is 4 Months Old

My sweet baby is 4 months old.  I will say this a million times over but how can 4 months go by so fast??? 

She is growing by leaps and bounds these last few weeks.  She might of started off smaller then her brother and sister but I think she is quickly catching up.  We will see next week.

Here is her official 4 month picture.  In this picture she is wearing her Christening Gown and a handkerchief bonnet. 

The symbolic part of this bonnet is she wears it on her Christening Day and then on her Wedding Day it is something old.  It makes me cry…I think that is so sweet.  She thinks it is funny!!!

The dress was mine as a child.  She wore this also on her Christening Day.  I will post pictures of that day this week.

What you can tell from this picture….

1. Cailyn has blue eyes (I think they are here to stay)

2. I rubbed all her hair off in the bath one day (I am assuming it was suppose to do that)…and now it is growing back beautifully….if I was a betting person, I would bet it will be light golden brown like her brothers.

3. She has excellent head control although 9 times out of 10 at tummy time…the child falls asleep.

4. She is the happiest baby!! OMG, the Lord truly blessed us!!

Other things about what Cailyn is doing…she love sucking her fingers. Ugh!!!

Or sometimes her thumb. Double ugh!!

We are trying everything in our power to stop the thumb and go for a paci or a teething ring!!

Cailyn is getting SO big… and she found her feet. 

Lastly, look who is trying to sit up!!

Cailyn this has been the best 4 months!! You complete our family and we love watching you grow, but do your mommy a favor…slow down.  It is hard to explain how my kids keep aging and I do not!!

Lawson’s Ice Skating Party

Saturday we celebrated Lawson’s 6th birthday at the ice rink.  IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!! It was great because not only did the kids ice skate but so did the parents. We provided ice skating lessons for everyone.  It was so fun to see everyone ice skate. The kids (who are much lower to the ground) pretty much had it going on. 

Even Wesley gave it a good try.  Since I can semi-ice skate I was left holding him up.  Literally!  He is not quite ready for ice skating lessons!!

He is finally getting the hang of it…by letting me carry him.  My back was killing me!!

Grammy and Pops joined in the fun.  They did great and there were no injuries to report!!

Ryan- is just a natural athlete so he had no problem.  Check him out in shorts!!!  Collins comment “it looks a lot easier then it really is!”

Lawson showing us how to go backwards.  I was not moving very fast!! ha!!

Lawson had the best time and showed us all her skills!!!

If you were wondering where Cailyn was during all the festivities Nana offered to wear her.  Nana was a fan of the Moby Wrap!! So sweet!!

After the 30 min. lesson we all came out for pizza and cake.

Lawson with some of her Highland CEC friends!

Here is the Fitts Family!  We had such a great time celebrating our precious daughter’s 6th birthday with family and friends.  I am still in shock that she is 6 years old.  WOW!!

Happy Birthday, Lawson!! Remember all things are possible my darling as long as you believe and work hard!!  We are always going to be your biggest fan. We love you!!

Look who is 6 years old

As of 7:01AM, my precious daughter is 6 years old. Happy Birthday, Lawson. We love you more then you will ever know.

(More pictures later)

Guess who is in the final 2??

Our hometown idol!! Scotty McCreery!!

Last weekend Scotty McCreery came home for his homecoming and we were there to help celebrate.  Our friends the Spesshardts gave us there VIP pass to their neighborhood (they can see the McCreery house from their house) and we were able to walk to the park for the festivities.  The kids had a blast although they were not too sure what all the fuss was about at first. 
Here are our troopers heading towards the park.

Wesley didn’t walk too long and then ended up riding in their wagon….with Brant pulling him.

When we got to the park this is what we saw…

Check out all the port-a-potties.  LUCKILY no one had to use one!!!

Here are our real men…one pushing a stroller the other pulling a wagon. 

Can you tell Cailyn was happy to see Scotty???

We did have to wait awhile and they kids hung out and had the best time together…

Then it was time for the parade.

The parade was cute since they really only had 24 hours to put it together.

I thought this was super cute!!

Then the man of the hour…guess what??? He is a Wolfpack fan!! Ha!!

So proud of our hometown idol!! What a fun memorable day.  So glad we could be apart of something so special for our little town.  Thanks Spesshardts for having us over!!!

Here is my little man with Scotty!!
I should note that Lawson is now in LOVE with Scotty and says “Scotty is a Hottie”  Lord, help me!!!
GO SCOTTY!!!
