Bittersweet...

Today was Khylee's last day of first grade. I am so proud of her and what she accomplished this year but I am so sad because she is really growing up too fast. Everyone always told me that time really flies when you have kids but you never realize just how much time goes by. My baby is officially a second grader! 

Yesterday we the whole school dressed up for the awards assembly. Khylee was so excited to wear her new dress. She wanted her hair curled so badly but unfortunately she got her hair from me and it won't hold a curl for more than ten minutes so we decided to try rag curls. 

She was so excited to take the "rags" out and see if her beautiful curls turned out. After unwrapping each "rag," here was the result...

At first she was a little nervous that they were too "poofy" but I assured her they were beautiful! By the end of the day she loved them! She got so many compliments. I definitely think this is something we will do again since it was SO successful!!

Her is her dress she picked out for dress-up day at school:

"Dress Up" Day

(Second to last day of school)

Springtime Fun!!

Spring started off a little cold this year with snow on the ground but eventually it warmed up. Unfortunately the sun didn't want to stick around for too long. We were lucky enough to enjoy a few days of warm weather!

Khylee got a new bike from Santa and she has really enjoyed riding it. It is a little big and the brakes are on the handles so it is taking some practice. She is doing great though! She rode over to the park near our house while I jogged (but really was running) next to her. She thought it was so funny that she could go faster than me. (And I really tried to keep up!)

She has also started swimming lessons. She is on her third round of lessons and she has really taken off. I am so impressed with how much she has learned in such a short amount of time. She loves swimming. She would swim all day long if I let her.
