4K Graduation

Beau graduated from 4K in May. His class learned songs to sing that were a "secret" until graduation. His class had made pretend graduation hats that they brought home the day before graduation. He did not want to show it to us, and definitely did not want to wear it! The day of graduation, we stood outside our house and took pictures of Beau with our neighbor, who was in his class. Neither one of them were really that excited about the pics or going to school. I guess they were nervous. Beau told me on the way to school, that he didn't think he needed to go to school on graduation. :( Poor guy. By the time graduation rolled around, he was all smiles. (We have terrible pics of that ceremony from our phones, but we do have it on dvd to always remember it) The entire 4K did an end of year video. On it, the kids had to say what they wanted to be when they grew up. Sweet Beau said he wanted to be a plumber like his daddy. :)

After graduation, we went to dinner at Pablo's with Nona and Papa. His favorite place to eat dinner. :)

Art Show

Beau had an Art Show at school in April. He loved getting to show us around his school, and letting us look at all his artwork. He was very excited that his Aunt Betty got to come to the show with him. :) Here are some of his masterpieces!

Beau's teacher put most of their artwork on a big sheet of butcher paper, so we could take it all home easier.




Happy Easter!





On Good Friday, Beau had an Easter Egg hunt at school. I was able to come help with it and be there for his class party. He wants me at every class party and every field trip that he goes on. Love that he wants me with him a lot! We came home and sorted all of his Easter egg goodies...some had to go to Daddy because we were unsure if they contained nuts. Beau is so good at not complaining about this part of his life. He seems so mature with his peanut/tree nut allergy, which makes my heart so happy, yet so sad, at the same time. Still praying for the day when he will be allergy free

We went on Saturday to see Mrs. Patty Cake Live! Beau loves her Easter Eggstraveganza dvd, so he was excited to go. Joseph, however, was not thrilled to go. He did not care for Mrs. Patty Cake, and just wanted to run around the sanctuary. After her performance, the kids had another Easter Egg Hunt. We sorted the goodies, and more goodies went into Daddy's pile due to the nut factor.


We dyed Easter Eggs that night and talked about the importance of the next day. We had a great Resurrection Sunday service at church. Beau likes to talk about Heaven and who all we will see when we get there. He also likes to talk about how he can eat anything he wants to when he goes there because his body will not have any allergies. What a precious child! We went to see my mom after church, who was at Lakeshore Rehab/therapy. My mom and dad gave the boys their Easter basket goodies and the kids had a good time running around the courtyard there. We headed to Sylacauga and had lunch with Rodney's family. Then, that night we had Easter dinner with my family. The boys racked up on Easter baskets, treats, and toys, and mommy and daddy were exhausted from the long day!
