Aubrey's crawling!

After months of physical therapy, we are proud to report that Aubrey is crawling! This is so exciting for two reasons- she has worked so hard and she is our first real crawler! Davis did the crab crawl pretty late and Andrew never crawled- he scooted! In one week she hit 3 major milestones- rolling over from tummy to back, crawling, and pulling up to her knees! Way to go Aubrey Claire!

Nashville trip

This was our best visit to Nashville, despite the way it started. Sunday morning, Rick headed for Maine while the kids & I headed for Nashville for Nanci Carter's baby shower. We never made it to the shower. My car got a flat tire in Kennesaw, GA and we were stranded there for a little over 3 hours!!! Thankfully, my parents had agreed to meet us halfway to help with the trip so they were there when it happened. The Goodyear man was great, they tried everything to fix it and didn't even charge me anything when they couldn't! Our week got much better from there, we were able to spend lots of time with family and friends! Aubrey and I went to visit our good friend, Presley Ramsey, and his mom, Elizabeth. Aubrey adored them both! On Wednesday, we went to Granny White Park with my friend, Jill Cooper, and her girls, Emily & Olivia. Davis and Emily used to play together all the time when they were smaller and it didn't take any time at all for them to pick back up! We also spent a day at Grandma & Grandpa's house where the boys got to do their favorite things, ride scooters & bikes, and play in the dirt. Our week was capped off by dinner at Pie in the Sky Pizza with Jon, Nanci, & Zac Carter and Dale & Melanie Jenkins. The boys got to play with dough at the counter and throw it against the window. Melanie brought out wonderful cupcakes for dessert! What a great week! We're headed back in July to celebrate Aubrey's first birthday and we can't wait!

End of first grade!

It's hard to believe, but first grade is now over and we're ready for second grade. Ms. Baker ended the year with a fun luau-themed party. The parents got together and gave her a gift card to her favorite store and secretly made a photo album with all the kids' pictures and letters to Ms. Baker. We will miss her next year!

Corley Champs Celebration

Davis and good friend, JonAntheny

After Field Day, the first graders gathered in the theater for an awards ceremony called the Corley Champs Celebration. Davis won an award for consistently being a good friend to everyone all year long. Way to go, Davis! We're so proud of you! Sorry the pictures are so dark, we were all having trouble with the lighting in the theater!

Field Day!

Run, Davis, run!

Ms. Baker's class

I love field day, I know lots of parents think this is crazy, but it's really one of my favorite events to volunteer for! This year, I helped with the water version of "over, under." The kids were soaked by the time they were done but it felt pretty good on this hot day!

Kaeden & Andrew

snack time!

DIRT!

Boys will be boys!

We kept Kaeden tonight so Willisia and Matthew could go to Lucas & Justin's piano recital. Andrew & Kaeden were so much fun together! They played in the dirt, rode in the little car and on the tractor, took a wagon ride and had a big snack of 2 bowls of Fruit Loops and 3 cups of milk- each! Willisia & I are hopeful they will stay such sweet friends!

Water fun

Thanks to Nana & Pa for the great water fun set with sprinklers & pools in the shapes of animals & a firetruck! The kids had a blast but I think Aubrey had the most fun just sitting & splashing!
