May 28 2009
Ok so getting closer...this is really your last full day since graduation is tomorrow and you get to leave early. I took pictures of you this morning just like I did on the first day of school to compare. Your hair is so much longer now. I went to eat lunch with you today. You told me last week that I never came to eat with you. I was hurt that that is your memory. I went for the first few weeks and you cried everytime I had to leave. So you told me you didn't want me to come anymore so I held off and only came a few times plus Christmas dinner, etc. Hopefully you won't think I didn't want to eat with you. I thought it was the neatest thing in the world when I got to...once I even talked Daddy into keeping the other 2 so it could just be you and me!

This is your last week of kindergarten! I am so sad....you are growing up too fast. I can't believe how much you have grown and matured this year when I compare pictures. It has been a great school year and I am ready to have you back at home for the summer, but I am not happy about how fast you are growing up! I thought of a great idea for a graduation gift for you. Since you don't have a trophy yet...I am having one for you that says Our Kindergarten Superstar-..I hope you will love it as much as I am anticipating. And tonight we went over to Ally's to eat for Michael's birthday dinner. Ally asked you if you had a boyfriend..and you went crazy because you thought I had told her that you did. Which I did not. We weren't even talking about it...she just asked you and since you and I had been talking about it earlier that day you just assumed I guess..

What a big day! We got up and curled your hair this morning...and you looked maaaahhvveelloous as always. Today was the end of year party. We played games and make coke floats, well chocolate milk for you. We presented Mrs. Luna with a memory album that everyone loved. It got us moms all teary eyed. Then after school Jonathan had a birthday party at Minton's. You had so much fun with all your friends. Blaire got to tag along and she actually waded around the kiddie pool too. You girls were exhausted when we finally got home.
May 25 2009
Today is Memorial Day so no school! We ended up all going over to Karyn's to help paint, etc. You and Landon played in the backyard. We had to remind you guys to include Blaire. She thinks she is just as big as you are and gets her feelings so hurt when she gets left out.
May 24 2009
Landon and Libby went to church with us this morning. We all went to Carino's for lunch and ate on the patio. You ordered guess what? MAC AND CHEESE! There were no services tonight so we had a mostly relaxing day working around here and had pizza for dinner.
May 23 2009
Today we went to Colin's birthday party at the skating rink. You were very shaky on your skates at first, but got the hang of "walking" around the rink. You and your friend Kamryn were in the same position so you stayed together. It has been so fun going to all the birthday parties this year and getting to make new friends and see you interact with others. Your personality is very laid back and quiet around others. You seem to be liked by all. Your preference is for people that "follow the rules" as you say.
May 21 2009
Today was your track and field day. After the weeks and weeks of rain we have had...this was a hot, sunny day! You probably didn't notice however. You had lots of fun and were pleased to tell me that you won the three legged race and though there was not really a winner, I can testify that you hulaed the longest by far of anyone! You are a hula girl. We had a great time despite the heat and so glad I got to be a part.

May 18 2009
I think the tea you had for dinner last night kept you up. First you never could fall asleep until late...around 11pm and then you came in about 4:30-5:00am and asked me if you could get on the exercise machine. I was so tired I told you yes. I heard the machine squeeking and wanted to go tell you to get off but I was so tired I couldn't. Brynlee tossed and turned all night. You complained of a tummy ache all day and would not even do your dance. Ms. Gayle said if she asked you to you would cry so you sat and watched. You may feel bad like Brynlee. I think a dr. visit may be in our future!
May 17 2009
You were not happy about missing church this morning but got over it. Brynlee had fever all night. We had another party Sunday for Paige from dance. This time I left the other 2 girls with Daddy so just you and I could go. Tonight we went to eat with everyone at McAlister's. We had not seen Whit in a couple of weeks it seems.
May 16 2009
We had a birthday party to go to today for Madilyn Morse from dance. It was a splash party. A little cool but at least it didn't rain us out. You cried and complained before we went because Blaire had to go with us. I tried to explain that is just what it is like to be the big sister sometimes. I know. believe me. Daddy was helping at Aunt Karyn's so we all went to the party. Tonight we went to eat with Aunt Karyn and Landon while they continued to work at her new house. Brynlee ended up having fever so we don't plan on going to church tomorrow.
May 15 2009
No school today. You woke up super early anyway and we made bouncy balls before breakfast. They were really neat. Someone gave them to you for your birthday and you can make different colors, etc. We had to run a few errands and decided to stop by Marble Slab for a treat. Daddy met us of course.
May 14 2009
Well today was like Friday since you are out of school tomorrow. I am making a photo scrapbook for Mrs. Luna. It makes me sad that you are no longer going to be a kindergartner. You are losing teeth and growing up too fast. I think having a first grader is coming way too fast.
May 13 2009
It has been raining so much lately but finally let up so we could have family portraits done. You are like a little model, taking direction so well. Getting great pictures of you girls is one of my favorite things in the entire world to do so I was in heaven. Afterward we went to Ironwood Grill where you could all play in the sandbox while we ate. It works out well for all of us.
May 12 2009
Today is the 20th anniversary of my first date with your Daddy. I remember we went to Pizza Hut on a double date with Shane. Of course I didn't eat much because I was so nervous. We rode in Mrs. Prather's red ford escort. I thought your Daddy was super cute and tall and had a great smile....and I still do. He is the best Daddy on this earth for you girls. I hope you can find someone just like him to marry one day.
May 11 2009
You are so funny...today you decided to make me a behavior chart like the one at school. You made one for each member of the family (all 5) and you explained in detail how it works, etc. Then you preceeded to ask me every time something happened, if you need to go move someone's clip? Precious.... You have teacher in your blood. You are so much like me it is unreal. I love you so much Brooke! I just can't wait to see what you grow up and become. However, you have informed us all you are never leaving us and will live here forever. Fine by me sweetheart.

May 10 2009
Today is Libby's 12th birthday! We went over to Ally's this afternoon for cake and ice cream. It is also Mother's Day. You girls were incredible. You brought me breakfast this morning with lots of cards and gifts you had wrapped up. I loved it. The best part was the coupon that said I could use it for 100 back scratches, hair fixes and feet rubs. Perfect! We ate at McAlister's with Nee Nee and Uncle Adam and his kids. I got to take a nap while Daddy watched you. He was so tired from working late, he fell asleep. I woke up and Brynlee was in the cabinet with lots of mess on the floor, Blaire decided to take a nap in only her underwear and you were knee deep in mess in the playroom. Wouldn't trade it for the world!
May 9 2009
It rained and rained and thunderstormed all day. We made it to the wedding but it was so loud during the ceremony that we could not hear the preacher. But everything, including my flower girls, was gorgeous. Daddy said he got choked up when you two came down the stairs together. You looked amazing. We had your hair in little ringlet curls. It was emotional hearing the wedding march played because I know I will blink and it will be one of you walking down that aisle. sniff sniff
May 8 2009
Tonight was the rehearsal dinner for Erin's wedding. You girls did great. There are a lot of stairs to go down but you seemed to do fine. There was a gorgeous hill that all the kids had a blast playing on after the rehearsal. Oh and you took Mrs. Luna your present for teacher appreciation week this morning. I got your picture with it before you left. I just love your unique spirit!
May 7 2009
We had a Chuck E Cheese party tonight for Texas from your class. We had a big time as usual. Afterward we went to say hello to Nee Nee at Zales.
May 6 2009
We had to cancel family pictures again today because of all the rain and mud. It finally stopped raining today but the ground was so muddy it would not have worked. We are going to try again next week. I thought it was funny that you and Blaire were actually upset that they were cancelled.
May 5 2009
Tuesday, gymnastics. You are doing so well workingon your back handsprings. You are very strong and seem to like gymnastics more now. You don't cry when it's time to get ready, etc. Today you even got ready on your own and asked if it was time to go.
May 4 2009
You have not taken your ring off that Nee Nee gave you for Kindergarten graduation. You are so proud of it. I am suprised that you have not taken it off to show people etc and lost it. But at least when I'm around you seem to obey what we have told you and don't take it off for any reason.
May 3 2009
Church and then I had a baby shower to give for Becky Jackson. You were going to go help me but at the last minute you decided to stay here because Nana and Dandy were keeping Brynlee and you didn't want to miss out. You and Landon played and played.
May 2 2009
Today it rained and stormed all day. It finally settled down this afternoon late and we went to eat at Applebee's with Nana and Dandy. They came over and you danced and goofed off for them as usual.
May 1 2009 Friday
It's Friday! You decided to be a tray again today since you discovered nachos. You said you and Luke decided to eat nachos today. Not sure what that meant. You just laugh when I ask you if you have a boyfriend and say no.
April 28 2009
Tonight was spirit night for your school at Chic-fil-a. We saw Mrs. Luna and you would think it was a celebrity you were so excited. She sat down and talked to me and told me how well you were doing in school. She said the curriculum coordinator even took pictures of your journal writing because you had done so well. She said you can already put ideas and sentences together well beyond your years. I am so proud of you Brooke. God has given my the desires of my heart in making me your mother.
