Kindergarten Field Day!!!!!  

(Yes, she does have shorts on her shirt is just way too big.  

I didn't know what all they would be doing so I didn't tie it back like it usually do.)

Field Day was too cute!  Unfortunately my camera battery died after the first race, but my good friend (and fellow room mom) has promised to share her pictures!  The kiddos ran the same relay a dozen different ways.  It was too cute - they ran with a pool noodle on their head pretending to be a mosquito, ran with several huge inflatable balls (the football was literally the same size as Mia), and even had a squid on their head at one point.

Woodway Morning Announcements

Because of my work on the Grants Committee with PTA Mia got to help with 

announcements at school announcing a couple of the grant winners!

It's hard to believe that Kindergarten is over in about a week and a half.  Graduation is June 6th as is their music program.  I'll take lots of pictures - between dabbing tears, I'm sure!  We have had such a wonderful kindergarten year and definitely look forward to first grade!

Not school related:

TBall has already wrapped up for the season.  You know the saying about first kids get all the pics and second kid ends up with little to none?  Well - ummm... that's the perfect description for second season of Tball.  Oops!  

This season she caught her first ball during a game and made several outs.  Not to mention hitting the ball all the way to outfield.  Mia had fun and wants to continue playing so we are moving on up to Coach Pitch.  The summer season starts next week and will run until right before school starts.  I think she will enjoy the challenge but we shall see.  :)

I can't believe how much she has changed since summer ball last year.  The pictures are just way too cute!

A mini vacation and another week at school!

Since Mia had 4 days off from school over Easter we packed up and went to the Dallas area.  It was a lovely trip complete with amazing food, LegoLand, Sea Life Aquarium, Grapevine Mills Mall (for my Bama friends - it's much like Opry Mills Mall!), Fort Worth Zoo, Perot Science Museum and a visit to Ben's Uncle and Aunt in Mesquite.

(Day after her first Tball game of the season so she absolutely had to wear her jersey to school!)

Field Trip Day!!!!!

The entire kindergarten went to Cameron Park Zoo for their field trip.  

Thankfully our class had 7 moms volunteer to chaperon so we only had 2-3 kids each!

In other news - our little bird friends from last spring are back and built a nest while we were in Dallas!!!  

We figured out they are Barn Swallows and Mia named them Theodore and Callie!

March!!!!

For March 3, 2014

So... I finally completely missed the daily picture of the school year for the first time.  :(   This is the next night but she is wearing the shirt she wore to school the day before.  We were treated to a Baylor Lady Bears Basketball game the weekend before by a super sweet couple we met at a craft show and Mia absolutely *had* to wear the t-shirt to school the next day.  I told Ben we were going to have to take her to a Bama game or she might just turn into a Baylor-ite by default!  LOL

Studying for her first spelling test!!!  

I made flash cards with both the words and all the letters that made up the words so she would have all different ways to study for her test: Sight, Touch and Memory.

Spirit Day: Storybook Character

We got Mia a set of Ramona Quimby books for Christmas (Ramona was one of my favorites when I was little) and she and Ben have been reading through them at bedtime.  I was so excited when she told me she wanted to be Ramona for storybook character day!

March 7-11

SPRING BREAK!!!

We went up to Hot Springs, AR to meet my mom and all my siblings for the weekend before spring break.  

We had such a great visit!

First day of Tball - Spring Season!!!

Mia decided she wanted to play tball again!  

Her team color is Purple and there are 6 girls/3 boys and both of her coaches seem very sweet. 

It's going to be a fun season!

Mia woke up to a pair of owls Ben had printed her!   

Made another day of not getting to go to school a little easier.

This little girl couldn't be more excited to be heading back to school!

Over a hundred days of school and I managed to miss a picture ... so I took one right before bed.

"What Does The Fox Say?"

Mia is still battling the ear infections.  She had to get a shot of antibiotics and is currently on yet another set orally. We have our fingers crossed that this latest round will knock the infection out!  On a much happier note - we got notification that Mia was one of two kindergartners accepted into the Gifted and Talented program at Woodway.  We are so happy for her!!!  T-Ball starts back up just after spring break - between that and a trip to see my family we are all full of excitement!
