Only two more days...let's party!

My wonderful family threw me a fabulous graduation party today!! Good friends, good food, and a good reason to celebrate! Thanks to everyone who helped with the party and everyone who came!

Team Party!

Cam had his team party today at a park in Harker Heights. I was not able to make it, but Daddy took him! Cameron and Sean had a great time monkey-in' around on the playground and they got trophies and treats! They had a nice time!

Out for an afternoon drive...

Smart Kids Day @ Saegert

Today the school participated in Science and Math activities, designed for each grade level, for our very first Smart Kids Day! Cam participated with Kindergarten...of course and I got to participate with PreK, because I was still student teaching in my PPCD class! It was fun and I am pretty sure all of the kiddos in the whole school had a blast! Each grade level had a different color shirt...except for Kinder and PreK...we wore orange! Can't wait for smart kids day next year!

Me and my PPCD kiddos...last day :(

OOPS....we did it again!

Cam's last b-ball game with KPR

Today was Cameron's last baseball game with Killeen Parks and Rec. He did a nice job, hitting both time he was up from the coach's pitch and not the tee! We were so proud! Check out the video and watch how he stares at me the whole time he is running to home plate...so funny!! Stay tuned for more baseball as Chris and I decided to sign him up for coach pitch on post...that starts sometime in June!

I got a J-O-B!!!

Well, today started with much anticipation as I had an interview in the afternoon at Skipcha Elementary school for a third grade position. I was at a grade level meeting with PreK teachers when the principal (of Saegert) came in and asked to see me outside. Umm...yeah...can we say scared??!! She asked me where my interview was and if I really wanted to go...because she was offering me a fourth grade teaching job!!!! Of course I sad I accept...immediately and was on cloud nine the rest of the day!!! I am now officially a Saegert Stallion come fall!!!! This was in the Stuff for Staff the day I was hired...

-This Wednesday is the last day for our Tarleton student teachers. They’ve done an excellent job for us. Congrats and best wishes to:

Cassandra Morrow who was with 4-Reevey and now Toni Gullekson. Cassie will be
teaching here with us next fall along with our fabulous 4th grade team!

Fun @ Daddy's work!

Today the Georgetown Recruiting Station had a promotional day (aka trying to get quality people to show interest in the ARMY) at their office. They served a big catered lunch from McCallister's Deli and even had a radio station broadcasting live from the parking lot! A few people did show up and we had fun just hanging out with Daddy!

SO SMART!!!

There were lots of things said about Calleigh when we received her diagnosis. Mental impairments was one of great concern. Watch this video though and you will see that our little girl will do everything in her power to shine through! She can follow simple one-two words directions! It is AMAZING!!! She is AMAZING!!!! Keep doin' it girlie...we always knew you were a fighter!

BBQ @ G-Pa's!

Right before summer in Killeen we have a series of days that brings the most beautiful weather. I call it the shorts and sweatshirt weather...my favorite kind (reminds me of Sacramento in the summer!)!! On this night, we decided to have a BBQ at Grandpa Pete's house. Just the fam and my friend Maliesa and her girls and my mom's friend Justin. We had a great time and ate good food! Yeah for BBQ's!!

Being a PILL!!!

Can you tell at all that our daughter was knocked out today and had a minor surgery??? No...I didn't think so!

Let's tey this again...

After dealing with ear infections and antibiotics for almost 8 weeks straight, we finally got an appointment with Cal's ENT to have new PE Tubes put in. The tubes she had put in when she was 6 months have finally completely fallen out and it is causing some severe ear infections in our poor baby. It was making us so sad because the antibiotics were only a short term fix for a problem that needed to be solved with tubes. So for 8 weeks we endured Cal's cries and pain! Today was the day that she had her new tubes put in. She attained her FIFTH Bud E. Bear from the Child Team at Scott and White and acted like a true pro when they took her to the operating room in the wagon! It took a total of 10 minutes for the surgery and she was back to her normal self immediately! She is a strong willed little girl and does not let anything hold her back!

Yes, I treat my child like a trained monkey on occasion...

So Calleigh has new tricks and we think they are great! Check out the two videos below: one of her blowing a kiss and one of her showing me her "crazy hair"! They really are great and can make anyone smile!

Day Out with Thomas...Grapevine Texas, April 5, 2008

Today was our last day with D and Shaney so we decided to drive 2 1/2 hours to Grapevine for Day out with Thomas. They normally come to Austin, but this year they are not...so we made the trek! We had a really nice time: the weather was really nice and the boys had a great time eating junk food and riding on the train! Calleigh even had fun getting to try cotton candy for the first time! It is so much fun taking the boys to see Thomas and has become sort of a tradition! We are so glad that we got to spend time together and the boys got to see Thomas again!

A visit with friends!

Deirdre and Shaney came to visit from March 26 to April 5. We had a very good time hanging out and being lazy for the most part! Cam and Shaney played a lot of DS and Auntie Itsy did a lot of...well... they Itsy Bitsy Spider (can you believe I have no pictures of that??!!) Anyway...we had fun and here are a few random shots!

Say Cheese!

Cam's spring school pictures and class picture came home today...isn't he handsome??!!

Happy Birthday Mom Mom!

Mom Mom celebrated her birthday today! She had to go to school, then I had a baseball game. But afterward, Daddy, Grammy, Grandpa, Auntie D, Shaney, Sister and I took her out to dinner at Boston's! We had good food and cake! She got some presents and really like the hat from me and necklace from Sister! Daddy also brought her beautiful flowers to the baseball game!
