Katelyn 5th Bday !!

Happy 5th Birthday Katelyn! We say it every year but time really is going by too fast. Katelyn, you have graduated from preschool and start Kindergarten in the fall. You are fun, smart, wanting more independence, and still so sweet. You are a great big sister and so excited to be another big sister to another little sister. You love being with your friends and family and playing outside. You are learning to play softball and soccer in the backyard, you still don't want to join a team yet, but hopefully that will come. I continue to pray for your kindred heart and sweet spirit to continue and that you will be a joy to all that meet you. We love you Katelyn!

Haley's Train Ride with School

Haley's train ride with school was the same day as Katelyn preschool picnic at the park, so thankfully Ahma and Ahmpa could go with her. They also became grandparents to Ella and Lizzie Kate!! They all had so much fun!

Katelyn Train Ride with School

I wasn't sure if Katelyn would ride the train with her friends or if I would need to ride, but she hoped right on in with her guy friends and off they went! She did great!!

Tumbling Performance

So proud of Katelyn, she has done exceptional this year and improved so much on her tumbling while loving every minute of it! She also received for first medal, she was so proud!!!

Friday Night Fun

Having a blast, hope these kids can stay close friends like their mommies and grandmommies have!

Preschool Graduation

So hard to believe preschool has come to an end for Katelyn and kindergarten is her future. It really does feel like we just moved back here from Charlotte and trying to figure out where to send her to preschool. We have loved every teacher and meeting all our new friends. Will be hard to separate from some of the friendships made as we all go to different schools next year. Here are some great pics from their graduation. They sang 5 songs and each where given their diploma!

Both 4 year old classes
