Down on the Farm!

Today we celebrated Bennett's third birthday down on the farm style!  Probably one of the funnest, easiest parties to date!  It was great having it at our local farm, Southern Belle.  The weather was beautiful and we had our cloesest family and friends celebrating with us!

 Every farmer needs a numbered birthday hat!

 Love my grandpa and I will treasure this picture of him always!

Love my Gigi too!!!

 Time to pick strawberries!!

He walked up and down the rows...looking for a strawberry he could pick up and throw!

 Love my mama!  She is always the biggest help to me and I couldn't do it without her!

 Time to plant flowers!

End of School...end of First Grade...

Goodbye first grade, HELLO 2nd grade!  What an amazing year it was!  I am truly in awe of how much her little sponge brain absorbed this year!  We are so thankful for a wonderful school, wonderful school and wonderful teachers to nurture our sweet girl both intellectually, emotionally and best of all spiritually!  The month of May was FILLED with fun events...perfect way to end a perfect year!

Enjoying frozen yogurt with her friends Kate and Anna after a hot field day.

 Last day of wearing her uniform as a first grader...next time she puts on these duds she'll be in big bad second grade!

 Nothing sweeter than this!  He can't get enough of her, and counts down the hours until we get to pick her up from school.

 Sweet girl on the last day of school! 

She painted her friends initial bags and filled them with fun summer activities...she is her mama's child :)
