Fun at the Pool

Our girls both love to swim but Hudson just loves to sit on the stairs and play. But Uncle Roger convinced him to let him take him around and Hudson loved it and became Uncle Roger's little swimming buddy.

Father's Day 2011

We spent our Father's day relaxing and showing John how much we appreciated what a great Dad he is to our family. We love you!

Alivia 9 Months

Eating a French Fry

Crawling around with a pizza crust

She loves to put everything in her mouth & then crawls around

Alivia is now 9 months. She is growing up too fast crawling and getting into everything. Very close to walking and she has taken a couple of steps already. Loves to stand on her own and walk around the furniture. She loves to eat whatever we are eating and doesn't really care for baby food anymore. She has become a big beggar and will come over to anyone who has food. She still has only two bottom teeth. Loves to jabber and talk all the time. We took her swimming for the first time a couple of weeks ago and she loves the water. Her big eyes and big smile can just melt any one's heart. She is so sweet and precious.

Ella's School & Swimming

Ella has started her own school since her school is over. She already has two students and they both love to sit at their desks and listen to her teach.
Alivia's first time in the pool.....

.....and she LOVED it. She is such a water baby.

Our Little Graduate

Ella receiving one of her many awards.

Our proud little Graduate

Ella & Hudson with all her awards.

Ella's Kindergarten graduation was a very small little assembly. Her awards were Passing her Kindergarten sight words, Reading between 50-99 books (She read 90), Faithful attendance award, Turning in homework on time, Passing all Kindergarten requirements and the one she is most proud of the Fashion Star award. She also got all + 's (the scale is + or -) and 3's (on a scale of 1-3 and 3 means exceeds requirements) on her report card. She loves reading and really loves math. I hope that she keeps enjoying learning. Ella loved her teacher and her teacher is moving to first grade next year and she really hopes she can have her again next year. I can't believe we already have a graduate. Yes, she only graduated Kindergarten but it won't belong before it's high school then college.
