the road to disney world

We are going to Disney World in just a few days and I am ready!!!  John and I have been planning this trip for months now and Disney has already taken all of our money so, it is time to go and have some fun!  We haven't told the kids yet and we don't really know how we are going to tell them...maybe, we'll just see if they figure it out on their own.  I just wanted to share with you some things that I've been working on during these months of planning.

My amazing SIL Steph made this super cute dress for Grace and I made the shirt for Carter Man.

Our Animal Kingdom shirts!

These are definitely my favorites!!!

Mickey Shirts!!!  I'm planning on making Grace's more girly...ribbons, polka dots?

Lastly, I made them autograph books.  After our trip, I plan on helping the kids add photos to them and making them into scrapbooks...we'll see if that actually happens, but that's the plan!

I'll be posting way too many pics of our trip soon!  So, come back if you like Disney pics and if you don't then you might want to stay away for awhile...ha!

we have a kindergarten graduate

Grace had her kindergarten graduation and oh my word, she surprised us so much!!!  She smiled and sang and spoke into the microphone and knew all of her parts and did I mention that she spoke into the microphone...in front of people...like, a lot of people!  I was amazed.

She said, "I also want to be a teacher.  Since I love math, I think I'll make it my specialty.  I have some combinations class.  Please read and answer as I call on you."  Then, she called on her students and held up her giant flashcards.  "Good job students, you all pass."

That wasn't even all.  Later, she dressed up like a bride and said, "I want to marry a boy just like my dad."  And of course, the whole audience replied with an "awwwwww."  She went on to sing, with the other mommies, "Thank you God for my family..."    

I mean, seriously, who is this girl?

She also received her "ticket to first grade."

I know that I'm doing a lot of bragging, but it's because I am so proud and surprised by her!  One more thing, she also won the reading contest in her class!

This is so funny and scary and exciting and sad to me...in just 12 fast years, I'll be watching her walk across this stage again!

Mimi and Poppa got to come!

So did, Grandpa and Grandma!

We are super proud of our little graduate!
