"At the Hop" Kindergarten Graduation...

We have a WONDERFUL school!  One of the best things about our school is that their Kindergarten graduation is like none other.  They don't wear caps and gowns and have a formal graduation but they put on a show.  It is too cute!  


The theme was "At the Hop" where the kids lip synced & danced to the songs Rock Around the Clock, Happy Days, At the Hop, Johnny Be Good, Please Mr. Postman, The Twist, Teddy Bear, Splish Splash, My Boyfriend's Back, The Leader of the Pack and Hand Jive.  Parker was one of the DJ's and announced the songs before they started.

Kids from his class-they were all decked out in 50's style...

After the program, they gave out the diplomas...

After graduation we all went to the library and had cake to celebrate...

Parker's great-grandma, Sugie, got to come for the graduation.  She was so proud...

Mrs. Bradley, the para for Parker's class, made these cute little cupcakes for each of the kids.  She is so talented...

Mrs. Bradley...

Mrs. Ivins...my last baby to have her as a kindergarten teacher.  We have been with her the last two years with both Hayden and Parker having her.  It was bitter-sweet to say goodbye.  She is a great teacher!

On to first grade!

4-Wheeler Accident...

God was watching over Hayden on May 2, 2010.  My baby flew off a 4-wheeler and hit the ground breaking his front two teeth.  Praise the Lord he had a helmet on or I could be blogging a different story...

Here he is a little after the accident.  Those are his adult teeth (sigh...).

One of our former church members works at the dentist office.  I was so thankful that I could e-mail her these pictures on that Sunday afternoon.  She was able to talk me off the ledge and get in touch with the dentist for me.

We went to the dentist the next morning at 8am hoping that they could fix his teeth right then.  Because his upper lip and teeth were pretty sensitive they had us wait two weeks to come back and get them fixed.  It was a LONG two weeks but they got him all fixed up and his teeth look back to normal.  Modern dentistry is amazing!
