T-Ball Sluggers!

We were so excited when Perry decided to have t-ball teams this year.  Both Talin & Remingtin signed up to play and LOVE IT!  We had our first game, a double-header, and it was a hoot!  If you ever need a Saturday morning carefree-laugh, come over & watch!

Hoops For Heart 2011

As most of you know, our sweet Jaedin was born with 2 holes in her heart...so obviously the American Heart Association is very near and dear to our hearts.  Every year, when the Hoops For Heart fundraiser begins at school, we celebrate and try to raise as much money as we can.  This year PES doubled their donations and raised over $3000!  The PE teacher even let the 2 top money raisers throw a pie in his face at an assembly.  Wow, did all the kids think that was neat!  :) 

Morning of Hoops For Heart at school...

Jae made this tank for the special day!

Jaedin is "Star Conductor" at school...which is similar to student of the week.  We had the hardest time deciding what photos to send for the bulletin board display.  We have A LOT from the last 7 1/2  years and we LOVE them ALL! 

Happy Mother's Day...
