Michael's last day of 2nd grade

This is Michael and his teacher Srta. Wright. She has been an awesome teacher & so sweet to Michael. Kamrynn & I got to go up to the school on Thursday, the last day, & help her clean out her class room. Michael really enjoyed us being there. I don't know how the teachers manage the kids during the last week of school! It was unbelievable how hyped up they were! Anyway, we followed them around & got to watch there last day activities. The girls in his class really took to Kami. They made over her the whole time and man was she ever happy! I have a video clip that I am going to upload of her and the girls. It is so cute! (the picture of the kids & I was taken by another 2nd grade student hense the reason it is the way it is!)

Big Race in Topeka

We all went to Topeka this past Memorial Day weekend and Michael raced in the Monza & did very well! (as you can see in the first picture of him & all of his trophies!) The picture also shows all of his cars. He is now racing three classes so it makes for a really busy weekend for Jeff but he absolutely loves it! Isabell finally decided that she would sleep in her playpen instead of in between Mommy & Daddy like she has been doing in hotels so I was very happy about that! Kamrynn really feels like a big girl because she is finally old enough that I feel comfortable with her running around with her friends. In fact, I rarely see her except for the few times that she comes to let me know that she is doing ok! All of the kids look forward to these races because it is one of the few times that they get to see each other during the year.

Michael's first Real presentation!

On Wednesday, May 21st, Michael had his first presentation on "Famous Oklahoman's". He was Carl Albert. He did all of his research, made notecards to help him through the presentation, and made the poster with pictures. Jeff went to watch and he said that he did very well! I was proud of him because I have never been one to enjoy getting up in front of the class and he apparantly has no problems with it! Oh and by the way, I am backed up on posting so I am going to try to post three in a row!

Sponge Rollers

The other night Kamrynn decided that she would like curly hair for a while so we went to walmart and bought a big package of the sponge rollers and proceeded to put them all in her hair. She really enjoyed it until it was time to go to bed... this is when she realized how uncomfortable they were to sleep in! But she made it through the night and we had VERY curly hair in the morning! And, of course, no hair makeover is complete without a little of Mom's makeup! The hair rollers really took me back because sometimes on Saturday nights my Mom would roll Joyce, Marianna, and I's hair so we could have curly hair for church! We loved it! By the way, Shawna, after we took the rollers out my Kamrynn said, "I look like the other Camryn!" It was so funny because she really did!

Walking to the creek by our house 5-5-08

Like I said in my last post, we are really enjoying the weather! The kids and I took a walk & we made necklaces out of flowers.(does anyone remember doing this?) I also made Izzy one but in order for her not to eat it I had to make a crown! Kami loved it on her! Michael also found an alligator snapping turtle and we now have a new pet! (An outside on the front porch pet!) I'm not much for turtles but it is a cute little thing!

Our trip to the park

On Wednesday of lastweek me & the kiddos took a trip to the nearest park. Michael loves to search for crawdads in the creek & Kami tries to do anything & everything to impress big brother so she also braved the creek. They did not end up finding any crawdads but they did find some clay under a rock in the creek & they thought that was just too cool. Neither of them had any idea that you could find it in the ground! Izzy & I just sat on the bank & watched them explore. I have forgotten how nice it is to be outside when the weather is so beautiful!

Michael's Race 5-4-08

Michael raced in Tulsa this past Sunday afternoon and had an awesome day! He usually does pretty well but this week he lead both of his races by over half a lap! I am such a competitive person so it is so much fun to watch him do well. He is so humble and it is neat to watch his reaction (or lack there of) when he wins a race. He comes off of the track with no facial expression what so ever and when he gets out of his car he goes straight to the other boys that he was racing against and shakes their hands and tells them good job. So sweet.
Then off they all go to ride scooters, bikes and catch whatever reptile they can get their hands on until it is time to race again. We really do have a great time out there. I will say that having a 6 month old on your hip changes everything! Gone are the days of sitting on the bleachers and soaking in the rays. Now I find the best shade I can!! Anyway...hope you enjoy!

A Real Tea Party!!

Last spring, my Mom, Kamrynn, & I were invited to a tea party at an old historic building in downtown Tulsa. Everyone was supposed to dress semi-formal and we would have a light brunch & a tour of the building. (as you can see, I was not too dressed up! I was pregnate with Isabell and was in no mood to wear a dress!) I had never been to a tea party so I was not too sure what to expect but it ended up being a lot of fun! Kamrynn ran around with all the little girls that were their and she also enjoyed drinking her warm tea like all of the adults! The cups they had for the girls were adorable, so tiny!
