The Next Phase of Planting by John Lee

Our seeds are sprouting! Since everything started to sprout, we moved them into larger planters and peat pots to keep growing.

We added lots of soil and water to help them take root. It took lots of teamwork!

I can't wait until they grow some more and we can plant them in our garden!!

Soccer Celebration by John Lee

We had so much fun with our soccer team! After all the games were done, we got together for a celebration! We went to Zero Gravity to play on all the cool gym stuff. Including the mats, the high swing and the foam pit!

We all signed special gifts for the coaches - including a book from our whole season!

No party is complete without yummy food! Pizza is always a hit, especially when it is followed by cupcakes.

We each got a trophy for playing hard and finishing out the season.

The Ninjas had a fun season and we got to make new friends. I can't wait to see what the next year holds!!

Happy Birthday, Savannah and Anderson by Denny Lynn

The twins had a super fun party in the park. We didn't get to stay long, because we had another party to get to, but we stopped to tell them Happy Birthday! We loved playing with the big balls.

And climbing on the park equipment.

We also had a little time to check out the bouncy house!

It was fun to see everyone. I wish we could have stayed longer, but we will just have to plan another play date soon!

Thank You Volunteers by Denny Lynn

We had the chance to thank all the parents that help out at school throughout the year. My class got to sing to them. I was glad to see Mama and the other parents who came. It is great to be part of a school with our friends where so many people come to help out.

Mom's Day Off by Denny Lynn

When we got home Monday I told Mama that the day before was Mother's Day and today was her day off, so I would be cooking supper and doing all her work (well, I did cook supper). She asked what I would make and I said, "Chicken for the kids and ...something for the parents." We decided on enchiladas. I cooked the meat and then layered it with sauce, tortillas and cheese.

Then I set the table and got everyone together.

I did such a good job, Mama may take more days off!

Even John was happy since I also made little hot dogs!

I know that Mama works hard taking care of us and I want to help when I can. I hope she enjoyed her day off while she did the dishes.

Happy Mother's Day by John Lee

You have to keep presents a surprise. I had been saving it for so long they had a hard time convincing me it was actually Mother's Day and it was ok to give it to Mama. I decorated the wrapping paper myself.

I made the card and Ms. Patsy put my picture on it. I drew a picture of me and Mama to show her how much I love her - then I saved it for Mom's Appreciation Day.

Mama also got a pillow with our pictures on it. We also sent on to Grandma, Ma, Nana and Granny Sharon. I hope they like them - I wish we could have been with them for Mother's Day!

We are so blessed by the women in our lives!

Happy Mother's Day by Denny Lynn

I worked really hard at school on gifts for mom. I really wanted her to see how much I love her! I brought everything home earlier in the week and hid it under my bed until Mother's Day. I made three cards, each one telling her I love her!

I also made her a cup and a potpourri box - in just the right color! I was so excited I had to give it to her first thing in the morning!

I wanted Mama to have a wonderful Mother's Day - we took her to church and out to lunch. It was family time and that is the best time! I just wish we could have had Grandma, Ma, Nana and Granny here!
