Catching Up On The Last Couple Weeks

Emma graduated from Miss Anna's preschool a couple of weeks ago. She loved going to school here and really enjoyed all the friendships she made. Miss Anna taught Emma so much and I so appreciate everything that she has done for her. Thank you Miss Anna for being a part of our lives. We will definately miss seeing her three times a week but hopefully we will be able to catch up with her every now and then.


My little Emma was not happy about graduation and made no attempts to hide her displeasure. She told me the night before graduation that she didn't like the program that Miss Anna made up and that she would NOT be participating the next day. I figured she would come around and join her class in graduation, I was totally wrong!! Emma marched out in her cap and did the circle around the yard with her class. That was it for her. As soon as the kids sat down in their seats Emma came over, got on my lap, put on her grumpy face and continued on until the program was over. If you look closely at this picture of her classmates you can see her beautifully sour face!! What to do when they are four and act like they are sixteen?


After Emma's graduation we went to Queen Creek to see our very first niece on the Roberts' side of the family graduate from high school. Monica, we are so incredibly proud of you. You have been a great example to all of your cousins and here you are showing them that graduation is important too. We are so lucky to be a part of your life and we love you so much.


Standing here with Monica sure reminds us how old we are getting. We have a picture of Shane and Monica from our wedding, standing just like this, only Monica was a mere three and a half years old!! Way to go Monica, we are proud of our "little" niece.


Brittany participated in the school talent show this year with her cheer squad. They did a dance and a cheer and this was the outfit they picked to wear. Sometimes I wonder where they get these ideas!! However, the routine was great, as usual. The cheer squad worked so good together this year and all seemed to really get along. If Brittany cheers again next year hopefully they will get a great group of girls again.
