Kindergarten Graduation

Wednesday, A.J. graduated from kindergarden.  All five kindergarten classes performed a super-cute program, complete with cap and gown.  Watch out, first grade...here comes A.J.!!!

There's not really sound to this video, but if you watch A.J. in the back row, he knocks off his tassle from his cap...kind of funny!

Chase Field

On Saturday, all the little league teams in the area were invited to Chase Field to watch a Diamondbacks game.  The teams even got to walk on the field before the game! It was such a neat experience for the kids and they all had a great time!

Best buddies kept bumping each other

Can't go to the game without hot dogs!

The give-away for the night was a tattoo sleeve in honor of Ryan Roberts...Isaac decided to sport his on his leg

Mother's Day Tea

On Friday, not only did I get to go to school in the morning for Muffins for Mom, I also got to stay for the Mother's Day Tea.  The kids sang us special songs, made us several presents, served us cake, and even gave us flowers and a crown!  They all did a really great job making us feel special on Mother's Day Weekend!

Cone of Shame

As most people know, the allergies here in Arizona are TERRIBLE! Well, it's no different for pets either.  Poor Abby has allergies so bad, she scratched her face raw this past weekend! First thing Monday morning, I took her to the vet, and she got a steroid shot as well as oral steroids for the next 10 days.  Although her itching has gotten much better with the steroids, she still keeps scratching at her face, so we had to resort to the cone of shame...luckily, it doesn't seem to bother her.

Baseball

Here's another video of A.J. playing t-ball.  Andy usually misses his games during the week, so I have to post video for him to see.  After the game, I took the boys to DQ for a treat.  A.J. told me all about the saguaro cactus in front of DQ that he had learned about in school, so we decided to snap a quick pic!

Play Date

Isaac had a couple of his friends over on Friday for a play date.  The kids were all very excited, and I had a hard time getting them to sit still for a picture, so this is what I got...
