A Special Award & Some Fun Stuff :)))

In the afternoons, Hadlee comes out first

and then a few minutes later Walker comes out.

On Monday, September 21st Haddie came

running up to tell me that Walker had

received an award that morning

in assembly!  She was so excited to

tell me first!!!  Of course she really couldn't

explain what it was or why, but

her thrill and joy was so precious!!!

Out comes Walker Boy and of course

he was so cool about it all!  ;)

But yes, he HAD received another

Star Student Award!

Third year in a row:)))))))))))))

Someone has to nominate students

to receive this award and then

Mr. Everett chooses among

the nominees.  Each week there is

a Star Student from each grade level.

Mr. Everett made a point to tell us

what a big deal this award is

at parent night (which I already knew).

I still don't know who nominated him

when he was in first grade (it wasn't

his two main teachers) and last year

it was Mrs. Donahoo.  I e-mailed

Ms. Swafford to tell her how proud

we were and she confessed that she

had nominated him this year! 

Sweet teacher...

She told me that Walker

exemplifies what a third grader

should be like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Walker said he could see Haddie from the

stage freaking out and cheering for him

when he went up to get his award!!!

Isn't that adorable?!?

I love all A's on a report card and triples in baseball

and all that stuff...but nothing compares

to an award for just being good ~

listening, following directions,

giving 100% on his work,

and best of all,

being kind to everyone!

Makes this mama's heart SMILE!:) 
I am so proud of you,
Walker Dalton Pierce!!!

Now let's see about being that

exemplifying third grader

at home, too!;)))

Friday South Bosque Spirit Day!

Our theme this year is

"Life is Sweet"...

This particular Friday, Haddie was so

excited to show us that she got to

bring Max the Monkey home

for the weekend!!!

To celebrate, we had to stop for ice

cream with Max on the way home!!!

That night we took Max to the

Homecoming Game:)

Hadlee colored with Max on Saturday morning...

And they played with play-doh!

Haddie thought having Max with her was SO COOL:)

The best was taking Max to Braden's

birthday party on Sunday afternoon!!!

We gathered the whole class together
for a picture with Max.
 Look at who sneaked in the picture...

bottom row, far right;)))

Sunday night we wrote out what all

we did with Max in his folder

and made a collage of pictures with Max...

My little kindergarten girl was all

about her first "project"!

It turned out really cute!  :)

Speaking of Homecoming,

we had fun!!!

Daddy gave Haddie a mum!

I so remember my many mums from

Aunt Kitty every single year until

a boy bought me one when I was

in seventh grade.  I would anxiously await

for my mum from Aunt Kitty or Mical

to arrive every afternoon of Homecoming!

Sweet memories...

Even sweeter now seeing my hubby

treat his daughter in such a special way!:)

Happy MHS Homecoming 2011

Stud Muffin in front of our new stadium...

Make that TWO stud muffins

and one football sweetheart!:)

Hudson kicked back enjoying the game;)

Hudson gets SO into these games...

he claps and cheers like crazy!

This is Bri, a beautiful former student of mine!

Daddy and his Date:)

A very silly, Homecoming Princess!

A happy little date;)

I couldn't forget MY very special date!!!

My beautiful angel ready for dance

one Monday afternoon.

We take at 4:30 now.

My living doll:)

Big Huds jumps out of the car so

excited every morning to run up

to Mrs. Janice's door!

It's so cute!!!

As room mom to both Walker AND

Hadlee's classes this year, I had

the pleasure of putting together

TWO baskets for our carnival's

silent auction.  ;)

It actually turned out to be really easy

and I had a ton of parent support!

Walker's class had the

"Busy Family Giving Tree"...

We did gift cards to all kinds of

places for busy families...

fast food, pizza, restaurants,

even the fair:)

Would have been a perfect basket

for my busy family;)

For Hadlee's class our theme was

"Candy Land...An Enchanted Basket

Filled with Candy, Sweets

and Yummy Treats" 

I thought it turned out really cute:)

Room Mama worked hard to get it all

together!!!  But it was fun:)

South Bosque also hosted

Dad's Day one morning.

Troy was thrilled to go spend

two hours with Walker and Hadlee

at school!

Big Huds just wished he could go, too!

Haddie wore her "I heart Daddy"

shirt for this special day:)

This baby boy LOVES him some daddy!

I've never seen a kid drop whatever he is

doing faster to run to daddy when he

walks in the door from work!

Even mommy got a "Life is Sweet"

South Bosque shirt:)

All I wanted was a quick picture

with each kid in our shirts...

no problem, uh?!?

yeah right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEVER......

EVER.................

..................a dull moment ~

when THIS kid is involved;))))))))))))

A different story for my real twinkie...

Love BOTH my school kids so much!:)

After days and days of wondering when

it would FINALLY be here...

South Bosque Carnival Night arrived!!!

Yay!  Mrs. Decker:)

Hadlee wants to be a kindergarten

teacher at South Bosque with

Mrs. Decker when she grows up!

New precious friends from her class...

Walker & Colton

This pic cracks me up...look at Walker

looking down at little Miss Poser;)

Honey, it's probably only beginning!!!

We found Ms. Swafford on the stage

doing different, fun dances...

she snatched Haddie Girl up to join her!!!

SO precious!!!

Ms. Swafford better stick around so she

can have Hadlee for third grade, too!;)

Troy went and made Walker leave the

basketball game he was playing to also

join Ms. Swafford...I couldn't believe

that he actually did it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love her and my handsome third grader:)

A sweet and beautiful new friend:)

Playing games...

Hudson hung out with Grandmother

and PaPa that night!

As always it was a fun night

for this South Bosque family:)

Pretty obvious that it was a super fun night;)

Fun, little October teacher treats:)

Haddie insisted on picking out Mrs. Decker

some jewelry because I had chosen

a cute bracelet for Ms. Swafford.

She chose this adorable apple necklace

and earrings from Forever 21!  How lucky

were we to find those?  They were even
 doing a unit on apples:)))

Ms. Swafford is fun to buy for...

she's so young and cute!

And of course I would buy the world

for Mrs. Janice if I could!

An angel like her deserves it!!!

(gave her the pumpkin soap last year;)

And just like that on October 1st,

they had little treats to take

to the SUH-WEET teachers in our lives!

SO THANKFUL for each of them:)

Giving thanks always and for everything to God

 the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Ephesians 5:20
