Mallory's LAST day of Kindergarten

       (First Day of Kindergarten)                                          (Last Day of Kindergarten)

Mallory's last day of Kindergarten was June 6th.  She had such a wonderful year.  She LOVED her teacher so much.  I think that makes all the difference in the world to a little kid. 

Her teacher always had such positive things to say about Mallory every time I went in for a Parent/Teacher Conference.  Mallory really grew up so much this year academically and socially.  She gets along with everyone she meets and is always kind and sweet to everyone.  She makes sure no one is left out or excluded.  Her teacher also said Mallory never got involved in the "girl drama" out on the playground.  I think that is so wonderful .. and I hope she is able to stay out of that drama for as long as possible.

I made her put her first day of school outfit on today so that I could get some good comparison photos.  She sure has grown up in the last 10 months.  She has definitely gotten taller!  You can see by how much shorter her skirt is on her.

I love all her missing teeth too.  She is my jack-o-lantern.

I just love this girl to pieces.  I love how sweet and wonderful she is.  I have always said that if I could have 10 more like Mallory, I would.  She is so polite and kind and loving.  She is a wonderful big sister - she puts up with Zach and she is always so sweet to Avery.  I am excited to watch her grow up and see all the amazing things she will do and the places she will go.

Father's Day Pictures

It seems like I always try and update the pictures of the kids around this time of year - that way Wesley has some newer pictures to put in his frames at work after Father's Day.

Zachary was in a VERY good mood yesterday .. so we had to take some pictures of him.

He is such a stinker sometimes, but he sure makes up for it with his hugs, kisses, and smiles.  I love this kid.

He is growing up too fast.  I can NOT believe he is going to be 4 in a few months.

Zach decided he wanted to take some pictures of me while we were having our photo shoot.  I don't have any pictures of me .. since I am the one behind the camera all the time.

I kinda wish I had some more make up on .. so I didn't look so washed out, but .. what can you do?

I had to do a lot of cropping on these .. since a 3 year old took them.

He was trigger happy and just keep snapping picture after picture.  He had a lot of fun.

Wesley keeps saying that he wants a picture of me at work .. so maybe one of these will have to do.

Avery - 7 Months Old

Another month has flown by and our Avery Girl is getting bigger and bigger!  Please make her stop!!  This is getting ridiculous!

We love this girl to pieces.  She is wonderful!  She is such a good baby.  She is taking wonderful naps during the day and she sleeps fairly well at night.

She's also decided that she wants to crawl now.  It's terrible.  Now I have to actually keep food and small objects OFF the floor.  She's just started scooting herself backwards everywhere, but she is up on her knees and rocking back and forth a lot.  She'll be crawling VERY soon.

Here's a picture of Mallory around the same age, wearing the same dress.  Love it!

And .. just for kicks .. here's Zach at 7 Months as well.  Can't believe how fast time flies by.
