I have so much blogging to do....I don't know where to start?

Blueberry Picking :)

Two Friday's ago the kids and I went "blueberry picking" with some of Allyse's Daisy friends. Our Troop Leader, Rachel, and I took the kids up to Conroe, Texas to go blueberry picking. We left at 8:00 in the morning to beat the heat...or so we thought so. By 10:00 that morning and only 20 minutes of blueberry picking...we were drenched in sweat....YUCK! There was a little Sno-Cone stand right on the property...which was perfect....it was exactly what we needed. Although HOT...the kids and I had a blast!

The Crew

Start Blueberry Picking

Jacob was pretty serious about his blueberry picking!

Allyse...I think the sun was too bright!

Jacob

I had to share these two pics of Jacob as catcher from this past spring season. One of the moms took these pics of Jacob and passed them on to us. They are great action shots....had to share :)
Jacob LOVES to be catcher....it's his favorite position to play. His positions are catcher and 3rd base.

Last Day of School!!!!

I cannot believe how much this past school year has dragged on and on and on.....you get my point. I thought this was going to be an easy year with Allyse being in Kindergarten...but I was WRONG! Although this year has been long it has also been a great year. This was the first year that Jacob took the TAKS test. I think that is part of the reason for the long year, it's drilled into their heads...Pass the TAKS test...Pass the TAKS test. I think I was more stressed out about him passing the test then he was.....that being said I am a proud Mom....Jacob was "commended" on both his Reading and Math TASKS test. He missed only 1 question on his Math TAKS...we are so proud of him. He made all A's and B's on his report card all year. Ms. Allyse did wonderful in Kindergarten as well. She made all E's on her report card all year :)

This does make a mom and dad very proud :)

Now off for a wonderful summer.....
