Last Day of School

On my Bubby's last day of school, he had an awards program. And to our delight, he won 2 different awards!! Yes, I am PROUD!!!! He won the Highest Percentage Accelerated Reader award and the SCHOLARSHIP AWARD!!!!!!!!! That makes 2 years in a row so far for getting the Scholarship Award.
Mrs. Edmonson was an awesome teacher this year!! He really enjoyed having her. I think he kept her busy though trying to keep him from getting bored!!

This was the teacher gifts that I made. I made both of them tote bags.

I made Mrs. Edmonson's kind of "girly"!!

Mrs. Stoner's was camo since she loves it!!

I can't believe Bubby's 1st grade year is over!

A Man's Favorite Place!

Of course, our last stop before leaving town was Bass Pro!! A man's dream I guess!! HA!! Bubby loved this camo truck and thought he needed one!! Yea right...wait 8 more years son!!!
This nice man took a picture of the 3 of us in front of the bear!

And my baby boy!!!

Between Games

Bubby and his very treasured signed baseball!!!
The 3 Amigos!!!

Me and my little man!!!

Game 1, Part 1 of Cardinals

Over Memorial Day weekend, we went to a weekend of Cardinals vs. Drillers ball games!! It was a blast!!! Our seats were awesome!! We sat in the Red Bird Roost. And to top it off, all our food was free up there!! Ball game food....worth it all!!
Bubby got to meet several players and they all signed his baseball. He was just amazed that they would take the time to talk to him!!

It was really neat to see them up close in person!!

These guys were awesome. We love baseball games. GO CARDS!!!!

Field Day

Monday, May 18, was Field Day at school. Here is my little sport!!
Here, Bubby is running with his cousin, Courtney. Poor guy, had went to a brithday party over the weekend and jumped up the fire pole at the park and twisted his ankle. But, he wanted to participate in every event!! What a champ!!

Here, Bubby is hanging out with his other cousin, Casey. She working the high jump. He loves both of those girls!!!! And, I can't believe how fast they are growing up!!

He loves the high jump!! He did really good all throughout the day!! We had a great time being there with him!! Great Job, Bubby!!!

Brittany Graduates

On May 15, 2009, Brittany (Donald's daughter) graduated from high school. There were over 400 graduates in her class!! We didn't even get to sit where we could watch it! We had to sit in "overflow" seating and watch it on a screen. It was a little long, but we are so glad that it is over!! Now, welcome to the real world of working and well just working, Brittany!!

Strawberry Pies

Last night, I made 4 of these wonderful pies. They are all gone too!!! No, I didn't eat them. In fact, I haven't even had a bite from them! But, here is the recipe....

1 - baked pie crust

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 1/2 cups water

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 package strawberry jello

about 2 cups strawberries

Mix sugar, cornstarch, salt, and water. Bring to a boil and stir until almost clear. Immediately add jello mix and stir. Remove from heat and let sit until almost set up. Mix in strawberries and pour into pie crusts. Refrigerate at least 12 hours.

My bunch can't ever wait 12 hours to eat so usually 2-3 hours and the pie should be set!! ENJOY!!!!!!
