Carter and Skeleton

I love Summer! The kids get to stay up late, and they fall asleep easy. Carter is snuggling Skeleton after a long day of swimming, and hanging out with friends.

Mrs. J Stout

CC was so blessed to have such an amazing kindergarten teacher, Mrs. J Stout. CC is truly going to miss her. She's has told me multiple times that she doesn't want to be a first grader, because she hasn't had enough time with Mrs. J Stout.

My kindergarten graduate

We are so proud of Camden. She did an amazing job in kindergarten. She was the only child who received a green on her behavior chart every single day. She has grown so much since the start of kindergarten. She is now reading in level 6, and still loves to read. She is really interested in time and math. She is always asking "how many minutes until..." and then it is always followed by "how many seconds is that then?" She is so fortunate to have a variety of specials: art, music and PE. She loves music and art, and just recently started liking PE. Which is a big change from preschool, when it was her least favorite part of everyday. She has even started to instruct exercise classes in our living room, which Carter loves! Her biggest struggle this year has been her sensitivity to new things, and her writing skills. Both of which she has improved greatly. At the beginning of the year she was so terrified of fire drills, she was guaranteed to be in tears. She even had to have a specials teacher come and hold her hand and walk her to the field. This is no longer happening. She bravely told me they had a fire drill the last day of school, and she wasn't afraid. Camden is a smart, sensitive, energetic, imaginative, artistic, caring girl! And we are so proud of our soon to be first grader xoxo

End of soccer

Soccer season has come to an end, and CC is very glad! This year CC really enjoyed playing goalie and sweeper. Here's a picture of CC with her very first sports trophy. She is proudly displaying it in her room on her bookshelf.

It's finally pool time!

I love everything about this picture. Summer is my favorite season! Well it's tied with Autumn, and since we don't have on of those in Texas, it's my favorite Texas season.

The long awaited day!

CC is all signed up for cheerleading!! Woohoo! She will be cheering for the Bulverde Texans Flag Football team. She had her fitting today for her uniform, and we can't wait to get the real thing!

Chutes and Ladders

Strep times 3

Yup that's right! We all have strep. The kids had been feeling run down all weekend and then we all woke up with stomach aches and sore throats! Good thing we found a really good urgent care that always gets us in. Here's the kids playing Eye Spy. Carter weighed in at 37 pounds and 38.5 inches, while CC weighed 44 pounds and 45 inches.
