Graduating - with Honors!

I just realized I hadn't shared pictures on here of Kiki graduating from Elementary school!! We've been finished school for a whole week already, but the Thursday before the kids got out the school had a graduation ceremony for the kindergarten kids (in the morning) and the 5th graders in the afternoon. I have to say I had tears in my eyes as the kids walked in to the hall with little hats on and they played the 'pomp and circumstance' tune (The Graduation March). I think I'm getting overly emotional in my 'old age' (or perhaps I've always been like this!) but I just wanted to squeeze and hug Kiki as she walked passed, I was so proud of her. Here's a few pictures I managed to get of her after the graduation. Hard to get some on stage, they always turn out blurry!

Her 5th grade teacher, Mrs Mossell.

with the Assistant Principal

and one of her bff's, Eden :-)

and at home with her Diploma. I bought the flowers and balloon to take to the graduation, like many parents did. Kristen graduated with Honors - a straight A student. We're so proud of her.

Weekend In Rosanky!!

I can't believe I posted those last pictures a week ago already, and here we are with the first week of June nearly over! How do the days go so fast? Last weekend we went to a place called Rosanky, TX with our neighbors. We stayed in a friend of a friends house... (the friend being our neighbor, and his friend is his bff who has a 'weekend' house in the country! Rosanky is about an hour from us, I've never heard of it before but it sure was pretty.  Here's a few photos from the weekend.

I shot a real gun for the very first time. Two of our neighbors are police officers so we were all briefed in gun safety :-)  I shot a 22 rifle, and Jason's small pistol.



Gotta get some practice in, incase those coyotes come after my chickens!!!!!!!!!





Things are getting crazy busy around here, so that's all I have time to post today. Will update more on the move next time!
