End of School Parties

Mrs. Janice had a FULL week of

fun planned for the boys'

last week with her this year.

Thankfully, I got to enjoy

one day of it...with lunch at

our favorite spot!  :)

This is one of my favorite pictures

EVER.  First of all, I love both of these

blue eyed blonds with all my heart.

Second, I am overwhelmed with

gratitude to this amazing, beautiful

woman who cares for, takes care of,

teaches and loves my little boy. 

I also adore THIS picture because

Hudson thinks that this sweet,

beautiful young lady

hung the moon!!!

This is his girl;)))

What am I saying?

Everyday is special with Mrs. Janice!

Isn't that obvious?!?

Little end of year treats...

Hudsy gave Mrs. Janice a Willow Tree

and a pretty frame to match it. 

I wanted to keep it for myself (ha!),

but I loved it for Mrs. Janice

and her collection.  She's just

the best.  I would give her

the world if I could!

Just a little somethin' somethin'

for Hudson's main squeez...

Adrienne just finished with nursing

school.  WOW!  She's officially a nurse!

I can't wait to see what all is in store

for my dear, beautiful friend:)

Some mornings her car would already

be gone and it would make Hudson so mad!!!

Walker's end-of-year party

was outside fun stations...

An awesome class :)

Crazy, too;)

One station was snow cones!!!

Walker just recently started eating

snow cones.  They still aren't his favorite thing,

but I'm glad he will eat them now. 
(I hate them! ha!)

It started raining so we had to move

the par-tay inside the gym....

Garrett, Bryson, Walker

The Candy Walk :)

I took up money from the class

for Ms. Swafford's end-of-year

gift.  Everyone was very generous

and we got her this awesome book

(about a funny teacher preparing students

for their first standarized test;)

AND a Target gift card since

Casey is moving to the Big City

sniff sniff :(
My mommy friend Amanda
did an AWESOME job putting
the gifts together!!!

Ms. Swafford is such a beautiful,
sweet person and already at her
young age an AMAZING teacher.

We were hoping Ms. Swafford could use
the Target card to set up her new place
or just for some cute, new outfits;)
The kids signed the inside of the special book.  

Amanda and I had to sneak in a little

somethin' somethin' just from

Cade & Walker, too! ;)

We sure are going to miss

Ms. Swafford, but I have no

doubt she will forever be our friend...
Troy already told her we can't wait
to someday get a wedding
invitation from her!  Such a
 precious friend to me and she
loved on my boy so much all year long!

Hadlee's kindergarten party

was that afternoon:)

Mrs. Decker's Kindergarten Class

A bunch of monkeys;)

This about sums up Mrs. Decker:

Room moms were supposed to be in

charge of the classes during the parties

to give the teachers a break.

When Mrs. Decker brought the class down,

I told her to go relax or whatever.

She said no way!  She wanted to

spend this time with the kiddos.

God bless her!!!

Neither Walker nor Hadlee are huge

fans of the climbing wall. 

Unfortunately that comes from me ;(

I was impressed with

Sweet Girl though!!!

Kinder Cuties:)

I could not believe that kindergarten

 GRADUATION was upon us :(

SO very proud of this little girl though!!!

I also took up money from this class

for Mrs. Decker's giftS.  We were able

to really spoil her!!!  She's so fun!

I had come to know that she

was wanting a Kindle Fire...

at first we were going to give

her a gift card to go towards it,

but then we got more than enough

to actually buy the Kindle!!!

She was so surprised!

And had no idea we still had

another VERY special gift to

give her the following day at graduation!

It was so adorable because all of the

kids started claiming that they had

bought this for her...

"my mom paid for it", "my mom

went to Target and bought it",

"my mom wrapped it", etc!
So adorable!!!

They were ALL right:)

Mrs. Decker was EXACTLY who

my little Hadlee needed for her

first year of school.

I am beyond thankful!!!

I'm also thankful for a dear, amazing

new close friend...and her sweet

boys who MY kids adore!!!

I couldn't love this little girl more.

She is truly a little bit of Heaven on Earth!

Cannon & Hadlee also had
an extra little gift for Mrs. Decker.
Amanda and I are sneaky like that;)
(Amanda is so talented and creative
with her wrapping & notes!!!)

Mrs. Decker is also a wonderful,

precious friend that I will now have forever.

Really hoping she can have Hudson

in a couple of years;)

She gave me this beautiful plant

at the party.  Mrs. Decker is a

true Christian lady and the PERFECT,

most organized kindergarten teacher.

   

As each has received a gift,

use it to serve one another,

 as good stewards of God's varied grace:
