Kaylie's Graduation 2009

May 28, 2009

Kaylie graduated from her Kindergarten class at her daycare. There are so many emotions that you feel as a parent watching your child move on to the next phase of their lives. I cannot begin to express the great joy and excite that came on this day. I am so proud of the accomplishments she has had this year. She has learned so much and has grown into a wonderful little person. I am amazed at her ability to learn and grow and adapt to the things around her. This had been a great acheivement for her. She was so excited to graduate and now be going to "big kid school" as she likes to call it. She has learned numbers, months of the year, days of the week, letter sounds and is now beginning to blend them together to make words. She has really excelled this year and I am so proud of her.

Kaylie & her friend Natalie

During their ceremony, they sang some cute songs and received a diploma. Next up for Kaylie is some testing at the Elementary school to see if she is ready for 1st grade or if she will need to attend all day Kindergarten.

Congrats Kaylie! You did it!!!!!!!

Taylor.....she has so much energy & is so fun on stage. What a great role model for all these little girles. She did a wonderful job!!



Grandma, Kaylie & Aunt Stacie

This was such a fun concert....a little toooooo long for Kaylie though. She told me that she doesn't want to go to another concert until she is a little bit older...you know like 5 more years! She got a glow stick that bought us some time, but when it was all said & done we had a fun time together. What a great first concert memory!! These firsts are amazing & I love all of them that I get to share with her. They will never happen again & it is so special to have them together! I love you Kaylie!!!!!

Picnic in the Park....5/7/2009

We had a fun picnic at the park one night for Family Night. We walked to "The Biggest Park I've Ever Seen" and then had a picnic lunch which consisted of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, cheetos, carrots & celery and cookies. We had fun eating together and playing on the playground!!
