If you need your ears, nose, and throat checked, your blood pressure and temperature taken… Anna Kate is your gal, or rather, your doctor.  At the end, she will even check your reflexes and finish off giving you a big scary shot… and she’ll giggle the entire time.  I promise it will be your most fun doctor’s visit ever, and possibly your most expensive, depending on how much she decides to bill you!  You should give her practice a try… refer a friend, and she’ll give you an extra shot, for free!

*These really are the glasses she wears that are in her doctor’s kit when she plays doctor… and the hat too!  We can’t make this stuff up, folks!

  

   

 

 

Since I had the two littles with me, I decided to wait until lunch to come to Noelle’s field day, but by the time we got there, it was pouring down rain and field day was cancelled, boo!  It was awesome though, several of my sweet friends kept sending me pictures throughout the morning, so I felt like I was there.  Everyone knows how much I love pictures, and it really touched me that my friends were thinking about how much I would enjoy these pics… and they were right!

 

After we took sissy lunch, we got to hang out with some special friends and see Noelle’s birthday poster in the birthday hallway with the other May birthday students in her school!

 

Noelle with Emily and Anna Kate at lunch after they cancelled field day… and I had my camera all ready to go, lol!

  

 

Anna Kate’s dream activity!!!

 

This duck and her chicks were floating in the river behind Mrs. Paula’s preschool!

 

Texting me on her wooden cell phone block!

Mrs. Paula found these ducks sitting right beside her front porch, and when Anna Kate and I were looking at the pictures from her week together, she could tell me which one was the male and which one was the female.  Never a missed opportunity to learn!  I’m so happy that she is having such an awesome preschool experience!

The girls had a blast going to dance last week with Jillian and Lesleigh! 

 

 

 

  

 

Noelle’s art work was chosen to represent her school at the district art show and competition!  We didn’t know she was even entered, and we got a letter home stating that her artwork had been chosen to be in the district art show!  We are so proud of you, Noelle!

 

 

These were some entries from the older grades/different schools that we really liked!

We had so much fun jumping at the trampoline park with Tate to celebrate his 4th birthday!

His sister Emme is a pretty big deal to the Pond girls!

 

Anna Kate’s starting to do some really cool gymnastics tricks!  She likes learning things on her own, at her pace!

Tate jumping off the trampoline into the pit… having a total blast!

 

Rose and Ty and Anna Kate, Macy, Layla, and Noelle hanging out!

More flipping!

 

Ty designed this awesome cake for Tate… best.dad.ever!  Ty has always been on of our very best friends, and the girls are crazy about him!  They know he is the real deal and will always be there for us no matter what!

You go, Tate!

 

Happy boy turns 4!  Where does the time go!?!

Our besties!

 

Rose went right back to jumping…

…until she froze on the wall, lol!

Anna Kate went to get her going again!

And then she pretty much followed Landon around the rest of the party, lol!

 

Our buddies!

Anna Kate and Landon are big buds!

I think everyone in the Pond family took turns chasing Rose around!  She was having the time of her life!

 

She even visited with the whistle blower referee guy, lol! 

Anna Kate still chasing Landon!!!

Taking turns jumping into the pit off the trampoline!  Ty even did a front flip into the pit; he’s so cool!

 

Ty and Mike with the girls!

Emme and Noelle… Best Friends Forever!!!

 

Tate was doing this really cool Spiderman-stick-to-the-wall trick… It was impressive!  Thanks Ty for inviting us to such an awesome party for Tate!  We love you guys!  Happy 4th Birthday, Tate!

A friend texted this to me this morning, and I though it was so perfect!!!

Happy Mother’s Day to all our special Mommies!!!

Rose woke up with 102 today and has been so mellow all day!  Although I LOVE the extra cuddles, my heart is breaking that I’m not chasing after her and cleaning up all of her messes!  I guess we all needed a little breather this weekend.  Get well, baby Rose!  We need your spunk back! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Thank goodness for Mrs. Paula, our girl gets to do a little bit of everything!!!  From bikes and bubbles, to caterpillars and lizards, she has it all!  And… these chalk-faced pictures that I would’ve missed if it weren’t for her awesome teachers!  No words can describe how this precious face makes my heart feel!  Love you, Cutie Kate!
