Cougar of the Week & Queen of the Day

Brylee's Big day as Queen of the Day in Kindergarten!!

Tanner's Cougar of the Week!!!

It is always a fun thing for the kids to be able to be the spotlight in the class so that the other kids can get to know them.  This year now that Brylee is in school they both ended up on the same week.  Brylee's poster had a lot of her favorite pictures added to a 1/2 sheet poster board with lots & lots of stickers too that she completed. The only thing I did was this sheet for her and she did all the rest of the cutting out and arrangement on the poster board.  Tanner had to just bring some pictures and answer a sheet with his favorites, so I did this picture for him.  I sure love my kiddos and am lucky to have such great kids.  It is fun having them both in school.  Brylee has such enthusiasm and loves when our neighbor Kari picks up from school, I think it makes her feel so big that it isn't me picking up all the time.   Tanner is just a cool 3rd grader now and is such a GREAT big brother picking his sister up from class to walk her out to the car each day.

Class of 2013

 

I can't believe my oldest niece is graduating this year.  I remember clear as day when she was born.  When she was little we would go down to my room and watch Winnie the Pooh or whatever she wanted to watch since she was the first grandchild in the family she was quite spoiled.  We would have sleepovers when I moved out and I remember one time when I lived in Salt Lake I had Josie, Katelyn, and Isabel.  We had pizza at the park, played, then watched movies, they played and would crawl through the little window from the kitchen to the living room and jump into the beanbag.  The next day we walked down to the temple and walked around Temple Square and took pictures.  I remember one of the girls peed her pants, I guess I should of had them go to the bathroom first.  I just took her under wear off and kept going, they broke me in to being a Mom for sure, it was a lot of fun.  Many years later I got to take her pictures again but this was her Senior Pictures!!!  They were in town from Iowa so we got up early and made the rounds for a couple of hours.  I am hoping she will decide to go to college somewhere close so we can see her often, but I am sure she will be too busy with fun college life to come visit us too much anyway!!!  

Love ya tons Josie Ann!!!

I had to go find my pictures of that sleepover with the three girls and scan them in and post some, what fun memories of being single Aunt Betsy.  OK so I couldn't get the scanner to work right, will add the pictures later!!
