I'm So Proud!!

This time I am not a proud momma, I am a proud cousin!! Last Saturday night we had some friends and family over to celebrate Seth's birthday and Mother's Day! Dylan was laying down in our bed (which he rarely does!!) when three girls decided to jump in bed with him!! He was supposed to be calming down, and this didn't help, but we didn't mind! Anyways, in the picture, Courtney, Whitney, and Allison. Courtney and Whitney are my cousins, and Allison is a friend of theirs! On with the story, and why I am proud...Courtney (in the jean capris) is a freshman at

K-State and just found out that she will be a Business Ambassador next year at KSU-so she will get to teach a freshman orientation class and give tours... And Whitney (the blonde) who is a junior (almost Senior) at Washburn Rural High School was just offered a scholarship to play soccer at Washburn University (in Topeka) when she graduates!! And not to leave their brother Brady out, I am proud of him too (he is in 7th grade!!).

I don't take any credit for how well these girls turned out, but I do have to say, I was their 1st teacher!! I used to babysit them all the time and we would play in their basement and I would be their teacher (and mom, principal, school nurse, school bus driver...)! They have also helped a lot in my classroom over the past 5 years!! They are great helps and the students always love them!! Previous students ask about them and get excited when they see them in the room!! I think a few 3rd grade boys have even had a little crush on them!!
