Dragon Boat Racing

I am going to be rowing in a Dragon Boat race on June 28th with my company to raise money for KARM (Knox Area Rescue Ministries.) Please check out my website, and sponsor me if you will! Even $1 will help! I need to reach a minimum of $100.

Thank you!!

Mother's Day, Kindergarten Graduation, and More!

I had a really nice Mother's Day! My secret sister had given me a gift card to Starbucks so on Sunday morning we had a special coffee after Sunday School on our way to the Retirement home. We also stopped at the store and bought flowers to give to the ladies there. Afterwards we went to Applebee's for lunch. The kids were very sweet and told me they loved me and said "Happy Mother's Day" all day long. I received many hand-picked flowers, drawings and cards as well. =) Here are a few pictures from lunch...

Haddon's Kindergarten graduation ceremony was great! There was a reception for the families at 6pm and the presentation/ceremony began at 7pm. We took a few pictures outside by the fountain before everything began. I didn't take pictures during the program because we sat in the back, but I'm hoping someone got a good picture of Haddon as the Gingerbread Man! The play was adorable! Below are pictures from the fountain, the reception, and after graduation with Pastor Sexton and Haddon's teacher, Mrs. Ewing.

Havana finished her last day of the 1st grade on the Friday following Haddon's graduaion. There was an awards ceremony that morning at which Havana was recognized as having the highest GPA (grade point average) in the first grade! CONGRATULATIONS HAVANA!! We are so proud of her hard work! Maybe she will be an Entamologist (see below!)

I hope you've enjoyed our update. We've been busy, but a good busy! Everyone's happy and doing well. Here are a few more pictures. Check back soon!

Busy, Busy, Busy

There is constantly something going on at the Bryant house! I am hoping the summer slows things down a little. Haddon officially has 2.5 days left of Kindergarten and Havana has 6 days left of 1st grade. It really went by fast! I am really looking forward to the Kindergarten graduation and I will be sure to post on that shortly after. Haddon is playing the Gingerbread Man at some point in the program. Heehee! I can't wait to spend some more time with them over the summer! This summers highlight will definitely be our big trip to Northern Ireland to see Grammy and G-dad! We received 3 passports today in the mail. They came in less than two weeks! I'm glad they are moving so fast right now because we still need to apply for 4 more. The only thing we are waiting on is another birth certificate for me, but I am saving the full passport story for a future post.

Between birthday parties, field trips, and spending time with friends, the kids are having a blast! However Havana is missing her best friend terribly, who has been in Texas for two months. She should be back in about 2 weeks and Havana is so excited! We just sent her a package of letters, pictures, and even a treat bag from Havana's birthday party. Their friendship is so sweet!

Hudson got his first tooth last week (bottom middle, right side.) l really need to take some more pictures of all the kids. I have included some of the most recent. I can't wait until we have family photos done...it's been too long!

Enjoy the pictures and I'll update again next week with a post and pictures from Haddon's graduation.
