Awards Day - May 19, 2015

Elementary Awards Day was May 19th, just a couple days before school let out on the 21st. Both Eli and Brady received several awards. Brady received the 2nd place award for AR Points (this is their reading program. That basically means that Brady read the 2nd most amount of books in the 1st grade.) Brady also received the 1st grade sportsmanship award. This was an award voted on by his peers basically saying he's the nicest guy in the class. :) Those are the only awards they give out for 1st grade. Eli received several awards including most AR (reading) points in the 3rd grade, and All A honor roll. Then he surprised us by receiving the award for the most AR (reading) points in the whole school! (That is what the trophy is for.) Eli read the most of any student in kindergarten through 5th grade. Way to go, Eli!!

Brady's 7th Birthday - May 15, 2015

Our little Brady Bear is 7! He woke up the morning of the 15th and immediately asked if he could open a present. We let him open one. :) It was a skateboard from Aunt Kam and Uncle Devin!

 We left early for school so that we could have our traditional birthday doughnuts at Krispy Kreme.

 Brady even had a game that night. One of his best of the season! And his coach game him his "birthday spankings" afterwards. Brady loved all the attention.

 Brady received two Tom Brady football players from mom and dad. He plays with them constantly.

 Mom and Dad also got him a Freddie Freeman (a player for the Braves) jersey. He's been asking for one for a very long time.

May 17th we had a little birthday party for Brady. We played kicked ball at ACA and had cake and snacks with some of Brady's friends. It was a great time!

Here is Brady with his friends Austin Bailey and Sam Standerfer.

May 2015

April and May were consumed by baseball. Here are some more pictures of Brady playing baseball during the first party of May.

 This is Brady with his good friend, Micah Kohring. They were in class together in first grade at ACA and attend church together at Landmark Church of Christ.

 Brady got several stickers for his helmet for different games where he excelled at defensive and/or offensive. This is coach Alan Perry giving him another sticker for his helmet. Brady is the one standing and watching him.

 After the baseball pictures, we have pictures of elementary bike day. This is only for pre-kindergarten through 2nd grade, so Brady was the only one to participate in it this year. Brady has on the black shirt and gray helmet.

 This picture of myself with Eli, Major, and Brady was taken on Mother's Day. The boys took me out to eat at a very nice restaurant.

 This last picture is of Major on his dress up day at his babysitters, Mrs. Gail's, house. He wanted to be a baseball player.

April 12, 2015 - Delayed Easter Pictures

My sweet boys. These pictures are just so precious. I love them!

Here are Brady, Eli, and Major in their Easter outfits a week late since Brady was sick on Easter.

 My mom had also come to visit for that week in April. The next two pictures are "silly pictures with Nana" and "real pictures with Nana", so say the boys.
