Porsche

Today was tough. We said goodbye to Porsche. He was 12 years old and led a very good life. He will be missed.

Brynna told me last night as we were saying our prayers, that I could take her stuffed animal dog to sleep with so that I wouldn't be lonely. Ahh! what a sweet heart!

First full week

So life at the Mays house has definitely changed since the start of school. We used to be lively bunch of folks. We could stay up and party with the best of them. However, now that school has started, we are EXHAUSTED. We are in bed by 7:15 and asleep by 7:30- myself included most nights. Wow school takes a lot of energy and effort.

Brynna has loved her first week. She did a detective theme this week where she had to bring something to school each day that was the color being asked for. She loved the last two days when she brought her princesses for the color yellow and green.

Looking forward to the weekend.

What a week!

First week of kindergarten is done. We survived and loved every moment. Friday night the school was celebrating their 50th year with a gathering at the school. We had sloppy joes, dancing to music, and a watermelon feed. We stayed as long as our tired bodies could handle. Now we are gearing up for a whole week of school. Wonder what that will entail?

First Day of Kindergarten

Today was a special day! Brynna started kindergarten in Mrs. Rivera's class. Brynna woke up with a smile on her face and was ready to go. The morning went wonderfully and she was eager to go to school. (I think mom and dad were just as eager) We left the house at 8:00 and walked to school. Then waited in front of the school for Mr. Williams to invite us in to the classroom. Brynna was such a big girl. She knew where to put her backpack and lunchbox and had no trouble being left in the hands of Mrs. Rivera. In fact, I think she was ready for us to leave her after we arrived. She is such an independent girl sometimes. I did not cry in front of her. I waited to shed a few tears later. Can't wait until 3:30 to pick her up today! Yeah for a great start to the school year!~

McEachron Sneak Peak 8-11-09

Walking into McEachron Elementary School for the Sneak Peak.


Putting the supplies away for Mrs. Rivera. BJ had Mrs. Rivera as her kindergarten teacher 30 years ago! What a great memory for Brynna and mom to have. Kindergarten officially starts tomorrow!

cousin's birthday party

Lillie Bauer turns ONE! We went to celebrate this great day in Leavenworth. We played inside, but the pool was where we wanted to spend most of our time. Brynna loved the pool. She dove off the board and landed belly first many times. We put her in a floaty suit and she went all over the pool without any help. Then all the cousins played a new game called Duck! As you jumped off the board, ducks flew at your head. We had fun!

Last week of July

The summer has flown by and this last week was no different. Brynna had zoo school from 8-12 each day which was hard on all of us since we had to be up so early. She loves going to learn about all of the different things that the zoo has to offer. She told me that she is going to take Grandma next week to explain to her what the animals are.
On Tuesday, she encountered a bug bite on her belly button. Don't know if it was a spider or not, but it swelled and itched. Quick trip (ok, not really quick) to the drs. and she has an antibiotic and a cream.
Summer has been fun, I am starting back to work on Wed. the 5th which is way too early. And it is also cousin Anne's daughter, Lillie's 1st birthday!
