Last day of 5th grade and 1st grade

 HaiLee getting her pin for the citizen award that she received.  So proud of her for getting this award!

 Yvonne and HaiLee, Yvonne is such a great friend to HaiLee and is so supportive of all she does, We are very blessed to have Yvonne in our lives. 

HaiLee and TJ on 5th grade graduation day,  TJ is on a lower step that is why he looks so much shorter. 

This is their cake,  it had the whole 5th grade class on it, way cool!! couldnt figure out how to put it the other way :)

So now that I am done with such an emotional day of having my kids promoted to 6th grade it makes me feel so happy that they are so well rounded as kids.  They did a video of the 5th grade and it was so fun to see all the pictures looking back at how much they have grown.  TJ has really became an excellent student.  He got great grades and has many friends and loves his sports.  Is so nice to have teachers come up to me and tell me how much they like my kids.  It means alot to me that they go out of their way to tell me this.  HaiLee got a citizenship award and it is for being a well behaved student.  She was never in trouble all 6 years she has attended elementary school.  So proud of her as well that she is so well behaved and that she got great grades as well.  She has many great friends and loves school.  Treavor also did really well this year and again every adult, teacher and staff know Treavor because he is always there to help out when needed.  He holds the doors open for the ladies ( that what he calls them).  Alot of them tell me that they wish they could take my kids home.  Dont get me wrong i do know they do have their quarks but this is a bragging post and so that is what it is.  I am so proud of them and so grateful that they are mine!!!

Now what!

OK now that i have updated my blog with photos.  I am going to update as well.  I did not get into the online college that I was hoping too.  I guess you need some sort of college before you can get into this one and I don't have that.  I worked since I was 16 so college was never an option for me and I had done very well in the mortgage industry with out any college.  now that I am unemployed I am trying to figure out what I want to do.  I have been researching colleges and what the ratios of what I want to do and get a a job and right now in today's market it is not looking so good.  I thought that I had wanted to go to school to be a teacher but looking into stuff there are more unemployed teachers. If I do go to college for that I will still have a student loan and not a job.  So I have decided to take the summer off and spend time with my kids and finish my kitchen up and some other little project and take time to figure things out.  I will just start taking classes in September when the kids go back to school and not stress to much about what I have to become.

My GrandPuppy

This is Caliber, He is my grand puppy.  BreAnna and Penn got a puppy and when they came to visit i was on puppy sitting.  I had a good time with him, he was only like 4 months old and kept me on my toes but when he would come lay on me and sleep it made it all worth it.  I know it is just a puppy but knowing that its my daughters and that she loves him like a child makes it so different than "just a puppy".  He was alot of fun!!!

My Flowers

with me being home I have made a little time in the front yard for flowers.  I have not been one to plant flowers but this year i got some for mothers day and have been having fun seeing them grow.  It is alot of fun sing that them bloom.

Treavor helping out

So here is what we have been up to these days.  My Father in law is building me cabinets for my kitchen.  They are so beautiful.  We are moving the sink back to the window were we believe it was when the house was originally built.  It is suck a mess right now but looking at the cabinets in the garage were they are being built makes me know that i can hack the havoc and am so excited to have them done.  With the help of my mother in law we picked out the paint and the counter tops and it is all coming together.  I can not thank my in laws enough for all their help and work that they are doing for me.
