Spring Is Here

 

Well, we always know when spring has arrived, our schedule becomes increasingly busy. We had a pretty eventful weekend. We started it off with a shopping trip for Me, Natalie, Aunt Carly and Hunter, Natalie ended up getting a new dress. After that we had a birthday party for one of Donovan's best friends, Hailey. Donovan had a small mishap on the trampoline, it didn't require any stitches, but he had a nice little cut on his forehead. I will try to show everyone pics tomorrow, he is still a little sensitive over the whole thing. After that Daniel went out with the boys for a little R&R and the kids and I went on a little outting, ending the night with some ice cream at McDonalds. Sunday the kids went over to Jancee and Wiggles to play for a little while and other than that it was a good day for relaxing, so that is what we did. Daniel and I got to watch a whole movie, WOW, for you parents out there, you know what I mean, for anyone who is interested...American Gangster is a really good movie. I'm sure I will have more to share as the week goes on. Donovan is having his awards ceremony at school on Thursday, Daniel has promised to take some pics for me, since I won't make it. So talk with you soon.

Donovan got A/B Honor Roll!

What a great accomplishment for Donovan, he brought every one of his grades up this nine week period. He also got Super Citizen, which considering we had two parent, teacher, principal meetings before Christmas, this is a great turn around. He got a 3.5 AR Reader, which he needed a 2.5. So Donovan is really working hard this last half of the year. We are so proud of him!

Last Game of the Season

 

 

The last game of the season went great, the kids had fun and played well. It was a little sad to see it end. After the game the kids got their trophies, ate some pizza and cupcakes, which by the way, black icing should be used with caution, it dyed the kids' mouths, it was so funny. Here are two of Donovan's friends, Micah and Noah with their trophies, thanks again to Melanie for taking pics for me.

2008 Rockies Season Closer

 

 

Tonight is the last game of the season. The game starts at 6:15 with an awards ceremony with trophies, pizza and cupcakes to follow. Dan made cupcakes for me yesterday and I was able to ice them last night. Here is a pic of the final product, also, I made a collage of pictures, since we haven't had team pictures done, to give to each of the parents for the team. Hope to see you all there tonigth, GO ROCKIES!

Wonderful News

We have some wonderful news to share. Daniel has been hired on as a Correctional Officer for the Wakulla County prison. He was told that he would be a team leader once he started at the Academy. Dan will start at the academy on Monday, April 14th. This is a wonderful blessing, thank you to everyone who has been there through this arduous journey.

Easter 2008

 

What a busy weekend. The kids had a wonderful Easter. They got to spend alot of time with their cousin, Riley, which has been great. We got together and let the kids color eggs on Saturday evening, we didn't know if they would spend Easter with green and purple hands or not, but we did find out that lotion does wonders on egg dyed hands. They got to meet some new cousins down at the Sopchoppy River Davis family get together (that is my side of the family), they hunted for eggs, and got to eat alot of good food. Then we went back to Uncle Bill and Auntie Chells for some more egg hunting. Carra and Desirea came over and joined in hunting the eggs with us. We all had alot of fun, but it is over now and back to some normal weekday activities. Donovan only has two games left, so back to the ballgames for us.

Is that a Lizard?????

 

Well, Natalie Jean may become a tomboy yet. She and Donovan caught this lizard on Saturday and had so much fun playing with him. By the way.....no lizards were harmed in the taking of this photo....or after.
