we love summer!

no cavitites

The three of us spent our morning at the dentist office.

We are all clean and cavity free!  

Last day of school!!!

I can't believe it is the last day of school for these two!

I'm thrilled for them.  They have worked so hard this year.  They have been super busy with soccer and volley ball.  We had activities every night for weeks and weeks and they did great!

 

 Hayden has one more year in elementary school.  He will finish out 4th grade next year.  I'm so excited for him!

 Layla is moving up to middle school.  She's our 7th grader!

 

 Goodness I just love my cuties!

 I survived my first year as a working mom.  I managed to find a way to keep us all fed and alive.  We all had clean laundry and a somewhat clean house!  It was a wonderful year for me and I wouldn't trade it for anything.  I'm thrilled I decided to go back to work!  

 

  

We are so ready to dive into summer!! 

ARIEL on POINT!

I am so thrilled for our little tumbler.  She finally landed her ariel on the ground!  She's been doing it on the trampoline for months, but getting it finally made her squeal with delight!!!

Layla wanted to branch out and do something different, so she tried volleyball this spring.  I can't wait to get her back into a tumbling class.  Tumbling truly makes her so so very happy! 

Yay for the mastery of her ARIEL!

tug of war and other fun games too

 Third grade field day was a success!

I arrived just in time to see tug-of -war.  I was so worried about Hayden's knee, but he did great and didn't seem to let it slow him down.

 I am thankful for a group of friends that encourage Hayden and help him be a better boy.  I have heard tons of 3 grade stories and I'm so thankful for his buddies.

My goodness Hayden's skin looks so unblemished in this picture.  His eczema is looking so much better and I'm so thankful!

a brace and some ice and REST!

  Hayden has been complaining about his knee hurting for a week or so.

Saturday, Layla decided to help him out by carrying him from the restaurant to the car.

 

 Today during school Hayden called me and he said he'd had enough.  

He was sick of hurting.

We've been keeping him still and as calm as possible, but it hasn't felt better. I knew it was time to have it checked.  We headed to urgent care and they did an ex-ray and it showed nothing broken.  Now we know for sure it is a ligament strain.  He has to wear a brace for 10 days and NO RUNNING.  Goodness, how in the world will we keep him calm?

We will ice every night and hope he is better with time and rest!
