Sam's Birthday Week(end)
Sam had a lot of celebrating for his birthday. We started the celebration with a family dinner at the Puryear's to celebrate Sam turning 7 and Patrick turning 15.
Stephen grilled hamburger and hot dogs and had cookie cake for Sam and strawberry cake for Patrick.
Opening presents is always a treat.
The Coon's gave Sam a flat bill hat-
The Puryear's gave him a pirate ship to float on in the pool-
Nana and Papa gave him MONEY!!!
On his real birthday (May 28th) he woke to find several presents from us -
(Tooth Fairy, Wii game, autographed book- Dewey, goggles, and a water football)
When Daddy arrived home we had one more present for him- Atlanta Braves jersey (#22- Jason Heyward)
We had birthday supper at our favorite eating place: Mexican. They sang happy birthday and he got to put the "hat" on- Penny went and sat with Put so she would not have to see that "hat"!!
On Saturday we drove to Atlanta for his main present (we opted for NO party) -ATLANTA BRAVES!!! We let him bring one friend/cousin- Smith. They were so excited about the game. After checking into our hotel they decided to cool off in the pool
before walking to the stadium.
We headed straight to the Braves store for Smith to get a "flat bill" hat and Sam a new t-shirt. They both needed tomahawks for the game. We went and found our seats before the game started- they were terrific Row 21, right between 1st base and left field. They stood right down on the field
and even got a look inside the dugout.
They game was wonderful- until the top of the 9th inning. RAIN!!!!
The grounds people worked really fast and got the field ready for play-
last inning BRAVES won!!!
After the game Fireworks- WoW!!
Back at the hotel - ready for bed. We have two, cool DUDES!!
I think he really enjoyed his birthday WEEK(END)!!! Happy 7th Birthday, Sam!!

Last Day of School
On May 27th was the last day of 1st grade - they celebrated ALL day long. I brought cookie cake for Sam's upcoming birthday - Miss Ducker had to give him a birthday spanking (she gave him a tissue cause she told him it was really going to hurt!!!)
The water party was so much fun! They played in the water
and enjoyed a picnic with the whole 1st grade.
What a wonderful end to a wonderful school year.
Penny ended her year with a Splash party (did not get any pictures of this). They had a great day- Thanks to her teachers for taking such good care of her.
It is hard to believe that she will be entering Pre-K next year.

Lots of Sam going on
The last few weeks have been extremely busy for Sam- class play, Disney show, awards day, last ballgame, and the end-of-the year ball party.
Lions at Lunchtime was the class play that Ducker and Propst put on. This was a story based on the reading seris: The Magic Treehouse.
Sam's part was a narrator- he was incharge of telling animal facts. This play was great, they did a wonderful job.
Disney Showcase was a production put on by the Fine Arts Department. The classes at Ben Davis have been studying everything about "Disney". They have asked and found lots of intertesting facts about the man that started it all. (My most interesting fact was that Walt Disney's favorite character was not Mickey but Goofy.)
Awards day was held on May 17th. Sam received several awards.
I was very proud when he was honored with the Principal's Award for having all A's all year long (please let this continue).
He also was presented with the Lt. Governor's physical fitness award
and Drama award in the cafeteria. They then went to Miss Ducker's classroom for more personal awards.
He received an award for his 25 points in AR (this is where he signed the jeans), Social Studies Award, Spelling Award, and the Balance Award- Miss Ducker refers to him as a well- balanced student and reader.
At one of the last games Sam had a great game in the field- which lead to him getting his 2nd game ball!!!
After our last game, we meet the team at coach Blair's house for a cookout and swim. The kids loved the pool and running around together.
They even got the coaches in the pool- even though they really were not planning on a swim. What a great ending to a fun, learning year of Minor B baseball.

Penny's Birthday (May 10th)
We celebrated Penny's birthday on Sunday - but she has been counting to this day- Monday, May 10th. She woke up telling me she was 4.
We walked into the kitchen to find a note from daddy-
and a bag of presents.
(inside the basket she found: sheets, ballet t-shirt, ballet outfit, Princess, and the Frog movie, nail polish, and towel)
She could not wait to put on her new shirt from Tara, and head to celebrate with her friends at school.
Before we reached school we stopped off at our new donut store, K-Donuts (YUMMY) and picked up several dozen donut holes for her special day.
All her friends at school.
That night (we were suppose to have a ballgame- but due to weather it was cancelled) we took her to eat at "Mexico"- She was so happy that Callie got to go with us.
Daddy thought she would love being sung to-BOY were we wrong. She totally freak-out when they put on the hat.
**As I was tucking her in- she said "when I turn 5 I not wear that Mexico hat"HAHA.
