Globetrotter Camp!

The kids had Globetrotter Camp today. This is the 2nd year in a row that they have attended and the last year for Kaci (she will be too old next year)!  

It was just for 2 hours at the 24 hour Fitness and most of the parents stay and watch. This, of course, makes me very happy!

They run drills, learn tricks and then played a "mock game." They also had a small group discussion on bullying, being positive and always giving everything your BEST!

At the very end, each child receives a certificate with their "Globetrotter name" and a cool Globetrotter Jersey cinch bag! 

Sweet J and the Cheese took the time to autograph everyone's bag and take pictures.  

So cool! 

Kaci's Globetrotter name was 

Kaci "The Animal" Borchgardt- 

and Bailey was 

Bailey "Bounce" Borchgardt 

or Triple B!! 

She's a Keeper!

Well we made her a tag and bought her a collar.

I think it's officical....

.

Miss Mae is a KEEPER!

7th grade here we come!

Hard to believe this little girl is going into 7th grade next year. 

It seems like I took this picture of her 

(going into Kindergarten) yesterday.

All A's, All year and the smartest girl I know! Kind and caring with a heart of GOLD! 

I am so proud of the girl she has become. 6th grade was easier than we thought it would be...in more ways than one. She never once forgot her locker combination, made new friends, loved her teachers and is going to be on the dance team next year.

 There was that little hardship....when she was in a wheelchair for a few months....but let's remember the good times!

Looking forward to a great summer! 

I love you, Kaci!

Beach Trip!

I fish, 2 fish, red fish......we all got a little sun at the beach, didn't we? A great trip with Mom, Dad and Amber. Clint stayed home to hold down the fort, work and watch the dog! Thanks Clint for watching over things while we were gone. We had a great time!

Dog sitting!

The kids are having such a good time watching the neighbors dogs. In the last month- 

they have picked up 3 dog sitting jobs here in our culdesac. 

This week they are watching Bailey Tate and Bailey Acosta! 

Yup! 

That is right....

2 of our neighbors have dogs named, Bailey! 

How funny is that? They are both girls though! 

Here is sweet Bailey Tate.

She has the prettiest eyes I have ever seen. 

She loves to play fetch and greets you as soon as you open the door. 

Here is Bailey Acosta! 

She is a feisty little thing and loves to run laps around us in the backyard. She is full of energy and always smiling (just like she is in this picture!) So sweet!

Last day of 4th grade....

Today was the last day of 4th grade! It has truly been a great year at Parkside and we are so thankful that Bailey had Mrs. Griffith as his teacher.

 A new school district, a new school with new friends and teachers- had mom pretty worried last summer.Thankfully- Bailey is smart, funny and outgoingn and with the help of his awesome teacher - he had no problems at all. 

We are so proud of the boy he is growing up to be. Straight A's all year and a heart of gold. 

We love you, Bailey! 

Another Home Visit

Well, here she is again...Miss Mae.

I think she has us wrapped around her little paw! 

 We picked her up Wednesday after school and let her hang out at our house for a few hours.

 She is so calm and very chill!

 It didn't take long before she was pooped and needed a nap.

 What a pretty face. 

 Payton is still getting used to the idea of her being around. She isn't so sure about her- but-

 she was protective of her when we brought her in for a nap though. She didn't leave the blanket until Mae woke up.

 Here is Miss Mae getting a little rest time in with Clint, Bailey and Payton.She needs to make sure Clint likes her too!

We love Miss Mae!
