Day 365

Full Circle – 365 is complete!  Finally!  It was such a learning experience in so many ways.  Even though this isn’t the best picture I love it because it represents so many things.  These are a few of our favorite people and it is also a tradition.  We get together with the Dickamore’s every Memorial Day.  We have yummy food, water toys in the backyard for the kids and great company for everyone.  I also love this picture because it represents a full circle.  I completed Project 365 the same way I started it.  A Memorial Day celebration with the Dickamore family!  

Day 364

Big Girl Bed – This was a big night for Ady.  She moved up to a big girl bed.  After climbing/jumping out of her crib for a couple of months we finally gave in.  She was so happy and content and completely in love with her bed.

Day 363

The Boys – This was Drew’s first year on the swim team.  He did awesome.  In between races the boys would gather in a little huddle and play video games.  Typical boys.

Day 362

Here comes trouble – Ady went through a stage of making trouble wherever she went.  She is so much better now.  She pushed the word explore and mischievous to the max.  This started out as coloring while I was getting ready, then the goldfish were brought in and spilt all over.  How can I get mad when I see these cute little legs in my slippers and a girl with out a care in the world?

Day 361

Awards Ceremony – We were wrapping up the end of the school year.  Kaylee had an award ceremony for 4th grade.  She was recognized for being one of the top 12 students in math for her grade level and for participating in the choir program. 

Day 360

This is why I don’t cook – Ady loves to be right in the middle of whatever I am doing in the kitchen.  She made banana muffins with me while sitting on the counter the entire time.  Once they were baked and cooled, she was right there to snatch one up.

Day 359

Evening Chores – Every night the kids take turns water the flower pots outside.  This is one chore they do not complain about.  Tonight it was Jake’s turn.

Day 358

Last Day of School – We made a stop on the way to school.  We decided on donuts and orange juice to celebrate his last day of Preschool.  

Day 357

My new purse – Casey and I went on a date last night.  We went into the Woodlands and watched the Iron Man race.  Amazing!  After that we walked around and did a little window shopping, except I came home with a new purse

Day 356

Swimming – It was a close race.  They finished with in .something second of each other.  Races like this are so fun.  I love watching the swimmers finish a race and pop up to look around and see what place they got.

Day 355

Field Day – Today was Jake’s field day.  Of course another water picture.  How many water pictures at field day can I take?  Notice that every single boy is completely drenched.

Day 354

Winners – Jake’s baseball team won the baseball tournament!  They were the best team in their age group. 

Day 353

Just Chillin’ – A little after school rest time.

Day 352

Drew’s Collection – Every week Drew has a new collection of some sort to display on his dresser.  I don’t even try putting them away anymore.  It is a reminder to me that he is a child who enjoys his toys.  Soon enough things like this will be a distant memory. 

Day 351

Bedtime – I love walking into scenes like these.  It makes it all worth it.

Day 350

Sunday Afternoon – The very first thing the kids do when they get home from church is change into their pajamas.  No matter what time we get home.  Once they are comfy, they are so good to entertain themselves the rest of the day. 

Day 349

Cudas – This was the first swim meet for the 2011 season.  It was also picture day.  This is how big our team is and not everyone was there.  We have over 300 kids on our team with the best coaches ever. 

Day 348

Sisters – I love that Ady wants to be just like Kaylee.  I love that Kaylee is so patient and enjoys spending time with her.  Kaylee was working on her word search while Ady was coloring. 

Day 347

Self Portrait – I was looking back through the pictures on my phone and found this self portrait of Drew.  I love it!  It makes me smile.

Day 346

Water Day – Drew had a water day at school.  This is serious business!  I was brave to go into this area with my camera and a million little boys with water guns.  It was worth it to capture them in action.  I love that there is one little girl in the middle of all these little boys.
