Congrats Mela, Kevin and Victoria

I’ll have much more tomorrow. Just wanted to get the main video and pics up tonight. Maria did a great job with their gowns and the kids did a great job wearing them considering how hot it was. One last important pic for the night. The Cake:)

Okay, That’s enough for now. I have to get some sleep. Maria has to work in the morning and I have to handle the monsters:)

Mela, Kevin, and Victoria

Just had their last classes. Mela and Kevin have graduated Kindergarten and Victoria Preschool. I’m so proud of my little monsters. They have done a wonderful job this year and I have no doubts that we did the right thing homeschooling them. They are much further ahead than where they would be in public schools around here. They will be having field day tomorrow and graduation on Friday. I’ll have lots of pics and vids up later that night.

Here are some birthday vids

here is the first half of the birthday vids. The rest are still uploading. I’ll add them later.  There are a lot of vids just click Read More link to get to the vids. Okay all the Birthday vids are uploaded after the break. I can’t believe I actually got them all up the same night for a change. There are 33 videos and I hope ya enjoy some of them. It was a neat little party.

Happy 5th Birthday Kevin The 3rd

Yup It’s the 5th birthday for Kevin The 3rd. It’s hard to believe it’s already been 5 years. I know I may be a little biased but he rocks. He is a lot like me actually so how could he not. It’s also hard to believe that you’re almost done with kindergarten. You’ve done great in your first year of school. You’ve Made mommy and daddy very proud. Happy Birthday Buddy, Mommy and Daddy love you.

There is a big reward for bringing in this outlaw dead or alive

He was last seen riding his trust horse trigger.

I love ya buddy and remember Daddy is much better than mommy:)

Kindergarten first day part one and two

Mela and Kevin officially started kindergarten on Tuesday with Victoria joining in with her preschool workbook. Other than Kevin being a little cranky as he gets used to sitting down for 30 minutes at a time for the class. All has gone well. I’m very proud of them and took a video and pictures of the while first days activity. Here is part one and two after the jump and i’ll have the rest of them up by Monday.

Easter Dinner 2008

Here is a picture of all of us sitting down for dinner. Also here is a pic the very nice Easter Dinner that Maria made for Us. Ham that was moist, Fresh Buns, Green Beans, and some of the best potato salad i’ve ever had.

Not to mention the great Dessert of pineapple upside down cake.
