Lucky number 13

This lovely young "wild child" is now a teenager!  She got to spend her birthday bowling and giggling and doing general teenager-ish things with friends.  I sure love this girl!

We bowled at the Wildfire lanes..hence the "Wild"

Funny friends.  I kind of love Ashton's photo bomb appearance

ice cream!

Waffle birthday cake.  Those waffles are actually made from cake mix

Dalin 6.0

Birthday number six!  Dalin is such a fun kid and six is proving to be just as fun.  Here are the favorites:

Food: Watermelon

Show:  Ninjago

Movie:  The Avengers

Color: Green

Thing to do: Flips in the swimming pool

Catchphrase:  "Coulda told me that!"

Dinner at Red Robin.  He really wanted to be sung to.  It was all he could talk about for weeks:)

We had his favorite watermelon "cake" and Chris decided a watermelon eating contest was in order.  I think Ashton finished first, but they were all winners with their watermelon scented boogers;)

End of the year

Kaylee doesn't have an end of the year awards ceremony but she did a lovely job at her spring concert.

When teacher said there was only one student in her class who received all A's for the year his whole class called out "Aiden"

Mrs Brown.  We loved her as a teacher.  She calls Aiden Mr. President and fully expects an invitation to the White House from Aiden some day

Mrs. Ayers.  Dalin said he wants to be a fun teacher like her someday.  Unfortunately I did not get any pictures from his Kindergarten promotion, but he has been promoted

5th Grade Promotion

I'm not sure how it happened but I am soon going to be the mother of two middle-schoolers!  I'm pretty sure it was just last week my girls looked like this (Ashton would never keep her ponytails in:) but I am so proud of the people they are growing up to be.  I'm certainly a lucky mom.

2003

Award winner!  I am thankful every day for children who try their best.  It's wonderful when they are recognized for their efforts!
