Well, I can hardly believe it but the school year has ended and summer has officially arrived here in Georgia!! Per usual, we took our last day of school pics, had our Walk of Fame, and indulged in a fantastic last day of school snack.
Whit took pre-K by storm and is beyond ready for Kindergarten. (As for his Mommy, well that’s another story…) We were so very proud of ALL of his accomplishments this year and celebrated them properly with his own very FIRST Walk of Fame!!
As for John, he totally rocked second grade. There wasn’t a challenge he wasn’t eager to conquer. He is growing into such a handsome, honest and bright young man and had his longest Walk of Fame yet!!
After dousing John with silly string as he exited the school bus for the last time as a second grader, the littles proudly made their Walk of Fame!
Since this was the first year doing TWO walks, I set one up on each side of the driveway. Our place was overflowing with accomplishments today, that’s for SURE! Honey had to make a last-minute-before-work run to Home Depot for more yard stakes, for crying out loud!!!
And, at the very end, they crashed through our annual Welcome to Summer banner!!!
This year’s last day of school snack was a Phineas and Ferb themed Ice Cream Sundae-inator bar!!!
While the littles indulged in their sugary treat, we made our summer bucket list in a take from the Phineas and Ferb theme song… “There’s 74 days of summer vacation and school comes along just to end it. So the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to spend it. Like maybe…”
“Stick with us ‘cause JOHN and WHIT are gonna do it ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Summer is HERE and it’s bound to be GREAT!!!

PS. As I sit here marveling at the two biggest blessings in my life, a sweet reader has reached out to me for a prayer request for a family from her hometown that lost their dear five year old little to brain cancer just days ago. I couldn’t not share his story and ask you, too, to keep Ben and his family in your thoughts. You can read his story here.
Boy how grown up does Whit look!!! You have some very handsome little guys !!! Love your walk of fame !! I am in the middle of planning my nieces summer kick off lunch and this post has me counting down the days :)
They are just the cutest! You can see how much love there is in your family!

Oh my word… love, love, love it all! The grins on their faces are just too much! Hope y'all have the BEST summer yet! :-)
Okay, this post just brings tears to my eyes (happy of course). You rock as a momma girlfriend! What a fantastic way to kick off summer. They sure did accomplish a lot. And oh my, have they grown. John is looking more and more like his daddy!!!
And, thanks for passing along the request for prayer. Will be praying and thinking about that precious boy and his family who I know are greatly mourning their loss.
Simply put, what an incredible mama you are!!! What a terrific celebration!
Thanks for posting the prayer request. I have followed Ben's journey. So tragic. Happy he is no longer in pain. Praying for family and friends.

I love your blog! Love it even more after seeing your prayer request for Ben and his family, who are from my hometown of WNY.
Those are some amazing boys! Keep up the good work Mama!
Looks great! Question: What size is that chalkboard? Thanks!
