The Birthday Weekend

This weekend, Sarah Grace turned 9 and Will turned 6. We had a big party with all their friends - 33 kids and one old warehouse full of jumpy things plus lots a coke makes for one wild and crazy party. Super fun, super good times.

I was looking for some baby pictures and found these pictures from 2006.

This picture was taken while we trying on clothes for my sister's wedding - 2006 - about this time 4 years ago! WOW - things really have changed!

I found the second one that was taken also about October 2006. Look at John - he is my oldest and is handsome and loving and a good leader for his sibings. I can't believe how much he has changed in the last 4 years.

Sarah Grace is in 4th grade this year. She is beautiful and kind and helpful. Will just started 1st grade - he is funny and kind and loving!

Happy birthday to my "Middles" - I love my babies...

The Tooth

So our Sweet William lost another tooth yesterday. WOW! I remember when those teeth came in and now they are gone. Will was my earliest to teethe. He got his first tooth on Brian's birthday, Jan 22 - he was almost 5 months old.

Tomorrow my Sweet William will be 6. He started 1st grade this year and absolutely LOVES it. He has 13 kids in his class - 11 boys and 2 girls. Won't that make for an interesting Senior Prom!

The Zoo - with K-4 and K-5

Will and his friends in the Palmetto Christian Academy K-4 and K-5 classes went to the Greenville Zoo last Friday. They say Elephants, Tigers, Monkeys and had a great time. The zoo has a nice playground right next to it, so the kids enjoyed a picnic lunch and then had a great time playing on the playground.


Here they are looking at the Elephants. Note Will in his camo hat...








Grant's Mom, Suzanne, went with us, too - and was a good sport. Here she is on the giant...well, I'm not sure what it is...bear, hog, I don't know but the kids loved it. Will is with Thomas and James and Ben and Austin in this picture.












Fun in the trees.

Here they all are looking at the giraffes. Aren't they cute in their matching uniforms.

Everyone gathered around the little cabin trying to stick their head through the middle for the picture!

The Science Project

This is Sarah Grace's Nerve Cell Project. She got the tray, covered it with wax paper all by herself, and then proceeded to create her masterpiece! I think she did a great job - she even labeled it with color coded toothpicks...you go girl!

Tomorrow John is doing a presentation on Oliver Brown (the plaintiff in Brown vs. The Board of Education) - I'll take pictures of his presentation and post those soon.

THE DISNEY TRIP

OK, SO IT'S BEEN FOREVER SINCE I POSTED, BUT I WANTED TO ADD SOME DISNEY PICS. WE WENT TO DISNEY 2 WEEKS AGO...IT WAS FREEZING COLD, BUT WE HAD A FABULOUS TIME.

THESE PICS WERE ACTUALLY TAKEN BY OUR AUNT BUBBA, I HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO DOWNLOAD ALL OF OURS YET. STARTING BACK TO SCHOOL HAS KEPT ME BUSY.

HERE THEY ARE...WE REALLY HAD A FUN TIME...

The Mid-Winter Ball

I haven't been a very good blogger lately. Mostly because I am currently addicted to Facebook. As in...Hello, my name is Gail Moore and I'm addicted to Facebook.

Anyway, Mom and Susie came last weekend for the Mid-Winter Ball. We had all sorts of fun at the ball and the entire time they were here. Poppy Lee and Mimi went to the ball with us...so did Bethany...and, Susie had a DATE! Here are some pics...enjoy!


Susie and Tom - Apparently Susie was enjoying the Bomb Pop Martinis.



Sisters...

Poppy Lee and Mimi

Bethany and Mimi - think about it - they aren't really related...but they looked so much alike, everyone thought they were and so Bubba just started saying yes, she was Mimi's granddaughter...it was just easier.

Mom and Susie and Tom. Doesn't Mom look beautiful? Susie and Tom are pretty cute, too.

BK, getting ready for the ball.

Chapel

Sarah Grace's class reciting 1 Corinthians 13...so cute



John and Daniel leading the school in prayer.



Posing for pictures after the play.



As a part of a Valentine’s Day celebration, John and Sarah Grace's classes at Palmetto Christian Academy led the weekly chapel service for the school and parents on Friday, February 13th. The theme of the chapel was “Loving your neighbor”. The second grade class recited from memory chapter 13 of 1st Corinthians – the love chapter. The third through fifth grade,presented a puppet show based on Christ’s parable of the Good Samaritan. The students led the school in singing and prayer at the end of the service.

It was so cute and the puppet show was just fabulous. My hats are off to my children and their teachers...all of whom are much more talented than I am!
