Jaycie's Birthday Soiree! (That's a Fancy word for Party!)

This year Jaycie decided to have a Fancy Nancy Birthday Party after one of her favorite book characters, Fancy Nancy. She also wanted to go skating again and have her party at Skate Town. We had a gr-8 time and she is so thankful for all of our friends and family who came to celebrate with us. We were so sad though, that Mimi and Grandad had to go out of town to see my Grandad Bob in Oklahoma. We missed you!!

We LOVE Fancy Nancy

P.S. Uncle Zach tried to get Jaycie's Fancy Nancy balloon that accidentally came off of the string and went up to the ceiling. So, he tried to jump up and grab it. He missed the balloon and came down very hard on his heel. After a week of limping and pain, he went to the doctor and they said he had fractured his foot! We are soo sad that this happened to you, while chasing Fancy Nancy!! Now he is on crutches and has to wear a boot! We love you Uncle Zach! :o(

Cameryn Graduates from Elementary School with Perfect Attendance...AGAIN!!

Congratulations Cameryn!! This was Cameryn's last day of Elementary School. Next year she will go to Middle School and be in the 6th Grade. I'm sad that she is no longer going to be in elementary school, but at the same time, I'm excited for her to go to middle school.

She had a graduation ceremony and I was so fortunate to be able to go. They sang a few songs, gave out awards, and then served refreshments. Cameryn received a trophy for having Perfect Attendance all year! This is Cameryn's 4th year to have Perfect Attendance! I'm so proud of you Cameryn!!

Jaycie's Birthday!!

Happy Birthday, Jaycie!! My little 'precious moments girl' has turned 7! It was also her last day of First Grade! A little girl in her class has the same birthday as her and she was having an end of the year birthday bash at her house, complete with huge inflatable water slide, bounce house, snow cone machine and pizza! The whole class was invited and they had a great time! What a way to end the year! I'm so proud of you, Jaycie!!

Stonegate Variety Show

On May 29th, my school had a variety show, or talent show. This was the first time it has ever been during the day. It was so much fun! There were two different shows, one in the morning for the primary grades and one in the afternoon for the upper grades. The students had to "try out" to be in the show. They were also looking for some "Teacher Talents" to perform...and if you know me...I was all over it!! That is just my thing!! He he he! So, me and my teammates together with the fun teachers of third grade, performed the Cha Cha Slide for the school. We actually got to perform twice! At the end of our performances, the kids were so excited, clapping and cheering and we waved and said, "School Rocks!" which was also on our shirts. Earlier in the week, we had a few practices and someone dared me to do a toe touch after our performances. So, as we were walking off stage, I kinda waited until there was enough room and then did my "toe touch dares" and the kids and teachers all cheered! It was AWESOME!! So much fun!! :o)

Katie's Graduation & John's Birthday!

Today we went to see Katie graduate from Nolan Catholic High School. She looked so pretty and we are soo proud of her!

Today is also John's Birthday, so afterwards we all went to Papa's Burgers for dinner and ice cream shakes...Yum!! We had a great time with the Newman's!

Then we went to see John's friend Marc at his pet store, the Amazon Aquarium. Wow! They have all kinds of exotic animals! The girls tried to talk us into getting Prairie Dogs, lol!! Instead we came home with a female Water Dragon that John thinks is going to lay eggs soon. It was a birthday present from Marc and Julia. I'm sure Spike will be happy! :o)

STATE CHAMPIONS BABY!!

Today we went to Waco to play in the State Championship for Texas Select Football. This past Monday we won the Super Bowl against the Vipers, so we were playing for State Champs. Even with it pouring down rain all day, THE TROJANS CAME OUT ON TOP!! We beat the Houston Texans 14-6. The boys played awesome and the girls cheered their hearts out!! We had so much fun despite playing and cheering in the rain. What an amazing day for our team!! I will forever remember the time we went to Baylor and WON while playing in the rain!! T's UP!!

I love my mom because...by Jaycie Ulmer

I love my mom because she always is nice. Because she teaches us. She always is making sure what we want like I want a hamburger or a drink or I need to go to the restroom. Happy Mother's Day Mom! Love, Jaycie
