Memorial Day Parade

Awaiting the start
Typical - Katelyn so sweetly smiling for the camera & Connor - you better take it quick, I've got better things to do, like get candy!!!

We had a great time celebrating Memorial Day at the local parade with the Ford family. As usual it was a race to get the candy that was tossed throughout the parade. What a great reminder the parade displays of those who so greatly give their lives to help protect and defend our freedom!



End of Year Party

His favorite part of the day - treats!!!


My thoughts raced as I looked 11 years in the future and imagined what Connor would look/be like/accomplished, etc by then - WOW! I couldn't think too long of course because this mama isn't anywhere near ready for that day!


Connor's teacher organized an end of the year party/promotion to 2nd grade celebration. They all filed in with their caps and were seated as "graduates" of 1st grade. Miss Camp presented them with their certificates and then we all celebrated with a cookout. What a great year Connor had in 1st grade.
