Carnival Time!

Maryella's last week of school was certainly a fun one! They had a carnival two days and I helped one of the days with face painting. I was so busy painting faces that I didn't have a chance to take many pictures, but these are a few that I got after the carnival was over.

And a couple I took before she left for school that morning. She looked completely adorable that day!

Summer Time for Maryella!

Maryella had her last day of school today! She is officially on summer break! I can't believe that she's done with 3 yr preschool. So bittersweet! Last week she had her end of the year program and got her certificate. She was so proud to sing on the stage and she did a great job! Here she is on stage.

With some of her friends from school.

With her teachers.

These teachers are so special! We love them so! God has blessed us by placing our girls in their care for these preschool years!

Umbrella cookies I made for the reception afterwards.

Posing in the photo op the moms set up.

Showing off her certificate.

And check out this picture of Annlee with her certificate when she completed 3 yr preschool.

My First Cake Order!

Not long ago, a friend contacted me on facebook asking me to make a cake for her son's first birthday. I was so excited about it and it has spurred me on to try to do more of this. I really enjoy making all the cakes and cookies and look forward to learning more and more techniques as I make more sweet treats! (That's the name of the blog, the address is www.amyleessweettreats.blogspot.com)

Here is his cake...

And his smash cake!

Thanks to Our Teachers!

I made these cookies for end of the year gifts for the girls' teachers this year. They were a big hit! I've also made another blog showing off all my cakes, cookies and cupcakes that I've made. I've come up with prices and such so I can take orders. I'm excited to see what happens!

Awards Days...

Annlee and Kaylin were both a part of their awards days at school. Annlee had hers on Wednesday and her class sang the Florida Alphabet. There were no real awards for kindergarten, but each class sang a song. Here are some cute pictures of Annlee coming in...

and singing...

Kaylin's awards day was on Friday and she got an award for Excellent Conduct. We were very proud of her!

Both girls had a great year and we are very proud of how well they did this year!!!

Our Sweet Gymnast

Annlee took gymnastics this year for the first time and did a fabulous job at her recital tonight. She was so very excited and smiled the whole night!
Lined up and ready to go!

Trophy and Medal time!

Afterwards, Annlee told me I could touch her medal if I wanted to because it was real.

What a beautiful gymnast she is!

Dear Jesus...

Elianna still folds her hands when we say the blessing, but now she has started "saying" the blessing with us. Most of it, she just babbles, but at the beginning I really think she is attempting to say "Dear Jesus". So sweet!

How Sweet Is This?

If you have about a minute, watch this video of Elianna falling asleep on our way home from the beach last weekend. Such a sweet moment.

Beach Day

We went to Fernandina Beach last Saturday and had such a great time! Elianna seemed a tiny bit unsure when I first put her down in the sand, but she got over that and loved it. We all had tons of fun!!! Here's an enormous amount of pictures from our day!
