All-Star

Nicholas was fortunate enough to make the Tee-ball All-Star team for the second year. Three children from each team were selected and he made it!! He hit a single and crossed home plate for his first at bat and he grounded to first and was out before he reached the bag during his second at bat. He played first base and pitcher during his turn in the outfield, made some great catches and outs, and made all of us very proud!!

Mom, Dad, Isabella, Gabby, Grandma, and Papa were there to watch him end his season. Another successful year!!! Here are some highlights....

Family party for Isabella

We had a little family party for Isabella's birthday and by the looks of it, she LOVED her cake. She got new lipgloss, a shoe covered designed beach towel, new jammies, and a new bike (among other little things). The one thing that seemed to really catch her attention was the lipgloss. A girl should never be without the essentials...her lipgloss!!!

A preschool parent of mine made the cake for Isabella. He baked it and HE decorated it...that is not a misprint. He is a very talented Daddy (with only one child...a boy)!!!



Take a DEEP breath.....

AND BLOW!!!

Happy Girl!!!

Nicholas graduates preschool

Well, it has happened. As much as I tell Nicholas that I don't want him to grow up and that I'm not going to give him food or milk anymore, it hasn't helped. I sat in the front row and watched...OK, cried mostly....as my baby boy received his diploma from preschool. Now it is off to kindergarten and turning 6!!! It PAINS me to think about it!!!!

Well, he had the honor of holding the flag for flag salute at the beginning of the ceremony and just as I expect something crazy to come from him, he turns into the perfect child. He held the flag with no problems and performed every song like he was supposed to. Very proud of you, Nicholas!!!

Here are some pictures of his day!!!

Holding the flag...

Getting his diploma from Grandma. She held up wonderfully through the ceremony until she had to call out his name. Proud Grandma!!!
