Another goodbye.....painting.....a trick....and a sleepyhead

Another sad day for me:(
These two are leaving me.
Sniff.

Tamika and Kirklyn, I hope you have a wonderful new school year!

Look at what Tamika's mommy brought for her to share at snack!
Cupcakes! What a great way to celebrate!
This little girl has the SWEETEST, KINDEST spirit.
And doesn't she belong in magazines?
She is just GORGEOUS!
I know you will do GREAT things, Tamika!
I love you, little girl!

Miss Misti had a GREAT idea today.
She brought a big roll of paper and we got the paint out!


The kids loved it!

Although, it was a little hot...

We painted quickly.

And beautifully, might I add.

We had to put our paint shirts on.

But somehow, we manage to get paint on the clothes UNDERNEATH the paint clothes.
Go figure.

Oh well, at least we try!

Our beautiful masterpiece!



We had to hurry and get these cheeks in out of the sun!
He was gettin' hot!

And so was Axton!

A HUGE shout out to Pam McCormick and Crystal Deakins!
It was Christmas in July at Giggles and Grins!
I had asked for donations for school supplies and you all out done yourselves!
Look at this loot Pam brought:

And the big o stack that Crystal brought:


Woo! Hoo! I was so excited! I even got a little teary eyed!
I felt really loved!


I had to share Gavin's new trick.
When you ask him how old he is, this is what he does:

Isn't that HILARIOUS?!
He does it right on queue!
During this picture, everyone was yelling YAY GAVIN!

Here is another funny about our Fridays:

Axton cannot stay awake during lunch!
He cracks me up!
He had dozed off a couple of times at this time....

Going....

Going........

Gone!


                                                                         lol!
Every Friday!
He is so sweet!
Don't worry! We quickly wiped his face and hands and took him to bed!:)

Hope your weekend is GREAT!

With Love,
Miss Melea

Its A Beautiful Day!

Look at this cutie pie! We have missed him SO much!
I wonder why? Look at that grin!

Handsome Kasen hauling some dirt.
He is as sweet as he is cute!

Sweet girls, Cadyn and Vivi.

Lily, Trinity, Tristin, and Brayden playing hard!

Ornery boys! But arent they so stinkin' handsome?!

Big boys checking out "boy" things on the computer!
We are just FULL of good lookin' kids!

Pretty girls!
See what I mean?
Beautiful!


We are learning some of our favorite nursery rhymes this week.
Today was Jack and Jill.
We read 2 different books and even watched a movie
with Jack and Jill in it!
The kids cracked up when Jack fell down ....and broke his crown!
Then we did a simple color sheet.




So sorry for the lack of posts lately.

This past weekend, I was honored to be a leader at a young girls
retreat at the Central United Methodist Church in Fayetteville.
(A beautiful church, by the way)

I had 4 days of very little sleep- but it was so worth it! This rereat always
gets me FIRED up about God. 

This is the awesome group I got to hang out with!
Arent they adorable?
I was so proud of my girls.
They were youth leaders and they ROCKED it!
(proud mommy moment)

I had to throw this picture in for this mommy's sake!
Two more good-lookin' boys to brag on!
This is Rhett and Hayden- they have been BFF's for YEARS!
Well- since they were "little".
lol.
This picture was taken after we had 2 laser tag wars and endless
ARCADE games! Love these boys.


 Well, we have one more basketball tournament this weekend in Springfield. We had one scheduled for next weekend in Dallas- but we havent heard a word from our coach on that one- so who knows? Either way.....our summer is fixing to begin! What? It's almost over!? Sigh.............the story of my life.

With Love, Miss Melea
