Field Day!

Cali and I went to to the older girls field day last week. It was really fun to watch the kids participate in the various activities. Ella was especially excited to be part of her first elementary school field day. She loves being a "big kid" now going to "big kid" school:) She had lots of fun and so did Aub. Cali and I stayed for about an hour of it and then I found out that Joey even surprised the kids and came for the last half hour or so. They were thrilled to see their daddy there too! They definitely had a fun day with their school friends.

The wet sponge toss, one of my favorite games. I love Ella's face in this picture!

Tether ball-another playground classic.

Obstacle course time!

Ella hugging the tiger. She was SO proud of herself:)

Cali just chillin on the grass. She was really good and patient. Its hard for a 3 year old to watch and not be part of it, so I took her to a splash pad afterwards with friends. She deserved it!

Aubrey's class playing some kind of dance revolution game.

I even caught Aubrey talking to a boy during soccer. . .:)

Class huddle!

The clothing race that Aubrey rocked.

Great job girlies! Can't believe you only have a few days left of school. I'll have a 3rd grader and 1st grader pretty soon. Yikes.

Grammy Staffy said...: I can't believe how grown up Cali is looking. When the baby comes I bet she will even look older. What a fun field trip. It looks like all had a great time.

Happy belated birthday to your sweet mom.

I hope you are feeling well. Hugs, Lura; 5/28/10, 6:54 PM

She won the campus spelling bee and even placed first in ready writing last year. Go Aub! :) She is an amazing reader, writer, and teacher.

She has also recently been involved in Theater at school and has a love for singing, dancing and being on stage.She also loves playing the piano and is VERY good at it!

Ella

Ella is our 13 year old girly girl who loves to accessorize. She has a very sweet easy-going personality that everyone loves. She also has a mothers heart and is so nurturing to her little brothers. She is also very creative and can be found crafting at the table on many afternoons. She is in the 7th grade and is a very hard worker. She is one of the most "on task" kids I've ever seen and never has to be reminded to do her homework. She is also an amazing reader. She is in her second year of piano and is doing great! She also loves ice skating and is taking figure skating lessons. Its definitely a natural talent.She recently did a competition and won first place. She also loves basketball and is a great speller like her big sis. UIL Champ baby!

Cali

Cali is our 9 year old silly girl who keeps us laughing. And also keeps us on our toes:) She is a feisty little second grader with a mind and will of her own. She also has quite the sense of humor and makes us laugh at the funny things she says every day. She loves to be outdoors, read books, and make cards and pictures for her family and friends. She is very giving and loving. She is also cuddly and asks for "snuggle time" daily:) She started tennis this past Spring and is loving it! I think we have finally found this girls "thing." Shes got one mean backhand! :) Her favorite thing in the world, however, is CANDY, oh, and ponies and fish.

Ammon

Ammon is our handsome smart sweet 6 year old little boy that we can't imagine life without. He is so very loved by us all. Now that he is five, he is really starting to show us just how darn smart he is. He is learning how to read at an incredible pace. He can count to 9000 already(he tells us this, but we make him stop at 100:)! He started preschool this year and just LOVES going! He wishes everyday was preschool. He has a heart of gold and is so loving. He is a Mama's boy that I can always count on to give me hugs when I need it most. His favorite thing to do is draw/write, read, play with action figures(star wars and avengers being his favorites), do puzzles, and play the wii/tablet when we let him:) He loves Skylanders!

Wesley

Wesley is our adorable energetic four year old son. He has the cutest dimple on his right cheek and the biggest smile. He is a ray of sunshine and makes us laugh at all of his funny antics. He is quite busy these days getting into everything he shouldn't be..sharpies included. Sometimes I'm just not sure I can keep up with him! He loves to climb on everything. And fall off of everything;) He is often seen with a bruise on his head! His favorite thing right now is cars. You can find him most days pushing a truck or car around the house as fast as his little legs will take him. He also adores being outside. We love this little guy so much!

Luke

Luke is our precious two year old little one who has blessed our lives immensely. He is always there to give a hug and a wet kiss. He is super cuddly. If you are sad, he will put his little arm around you and give you a sweet pat. He is silly and always makes us smile. He is learning little words like "mo" for more or "nana" for nightnight. He can say ball and uh-oh. Its so cute to hear him learn to talk! He has been an easy little guy too..never been a carseat hater and always takes good naps. And luckily is now sleeping through the night! We love our Lukey!
