Graduation Day!

It's official.

He made it through elementary school.

It seems as if he was just a baby.
Now he is going to middle school.

We are very proud of him.

He has done so well this year.

His wonderful teachers. Mrs. Curtright and Ms. Hagge.

Pretty sure these women have earned their spot in heaven.

We love you Liam and are very proud of you!

This year for our anniversary Matt did the sweetest thing. Every day this week he did something special, along with a flower and a card. It was so thoughtful of him and I enjoyed it so much. So here is a recap of our week so that I will always remember...

Day One~

A single red rose, a card and a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos. I had talked to him on the phone and had told him how I had gone to the store to get dinner and wanted some Doritos to go with it. I told Liam to grab some but he decided that he didn't like them. I didn't realize it until I got home. So Matt brought some home.

Day Two~
Two red roses, a card and a Michael's gift card. So excited to put this to use.

Day Three~

Three red roses, a card and a 4-pack of beer. Not to drink. We have a fruit fly infestation. It is the perfect thing to trap and kill them. It works I swear.

Day Four~
Four red roses, a card, cream cheese brownies and tickets to Riverfest. So excited to go to this!

Day Five~
Five red roses, a card and a date night. We went out to dinner to The Faded Rose. We came to this restaurant a couple years ago when we came out here for Matt to interview for his job. The shrimp tchoupitoulas was just as good as we remembered. Divine. You guys who are local should try this place. It is worth the drive and the money. Yummm....

Day Six~
Matt had to leave early to go on a Youth trip so I woke up to 4 Dozen roses. Not even kidding. 48 roses and some stargazer lillys and a cute little gift bag. So exciting. I opened it up and it was a new lens for my camera. Seriously. Love this guy.

*I have to just add that I realize a lot of the days involved food. What can I say? This boy knows me. He knows the way to my heart. Food, camera, crafts and beer. Just kidding about the beer. Really.

Matt lost his sweet grandmother this last weekend. We made a quick trip back to Wisconsin for the funeral. By quick, I mean really quick. We got there at 5 pm on Thursday and left at 8 am on Saturday. It was too short. It was good to see the family even under these circumstances.

Wisconsin=Cheese Right?
Had to get a picture by the giant mouse and cheese

Myles playing with his cute cousins Justice, Bella and Danielle

We got to go to our nephew Collin's baseball game. This was really fun. His team did awesome even with the rain. The game got called at the bottom of the fourth inning. The kids had a blast watching him play (and climbing all over the seats).

Liam and Cameron. These boys are so much alike. They had a blast together.

Sleepy Caiden...

Myles made a cute little friend Aubree while we were there. She was just too sweet. At one point she was all up in his face saying "Hi. Myles, Hi, Myles" And he in his grumpy boy voice said "I trying to watch the baseball" Oh, boys and their sports.

So glad I could capture his face when he said it. Funny boy.

Say Cheese!
