OAP's First Beach Trip

We took Olivia to the beach this weekend to see Uncle Gary, Aunt Shelva, and Cousin Jennifer. Saturday morning we took her out to see the ocean and play in the sand. She LOVED it! She kept trying to eat the sand and we decided she would just have to figure out for herself that it doesn't taste good. She took a nap in her tent for about an hour and by the time she woke up the tide had gone out. We took her down and let her sit in the tide pools. She really enjoyed playing in the wet sand. 

She also loved hanging out with Uncle Gary, Aunt Shelva, and Jennifer. Uncle Gary rode her around on the golf cart and Aunt Shelva and Jennifer played with her and gave her lots of attention. We are so lucky to be part of such a loving family!

This picture is of Lily on the first day of school and on the last day. She has grown up so much. She has had a very successful kindergarten year. It is amazing to see the growth she has made academically and socially. Lily had 2 best friends in kindergarten they were Elizabeth and Julia. Everyday we asked the kids what their favorite part of the day was and Lily always said playing with Julia and Elizabeth at recess. She is such a girly girl and I think there were very few days this year that she didn't have on a headband. When she finds something she likes she sticks with it. We have signed Lily up for dance this summer and I know she will be great!

This picture is Zack on the first day of school and on the last day of school. When I took the picture I didn't think I would see much of a difference but WOW. He has grown up so much!! Zack has accomplished a lot this year. He has played basketball and soccer. On his EOG he made a 4 in reading and a 4 in math. He also received the physical fitness award, a citizenship award, and A/B honor roll all year. He is a very well-rounded kid which is so awesome! He has become extremely into sports this year. He likes watching sports, reading about any sporting event or athlete, and playing pretty much any sport. He says he is a, "sports guy." When I asked him what his favorite part of third grade was, he said the ice-cream party he had and having in door recess.

Big day for the Parrish Kids

Lily's Kindergarten Graduation:

Lily had her kindergarten graduation today. It is crazy to think that she is already finished with her kindergarten year. She was blessed with an AMAZING teacher and has shown so much growth academically. She has become a great reader and her writing is fantastic. We are so proud at how much she has learned this year.

Zack's Awards and Field Day:

Zack had awards day and field day today. He received awards for A/B honor roll, citizenship, and he also received a fitness award. We can't believe he will be a 4th grader in the fall!!!

OA's 6 month appointment:

Olivia had her 6 month appointment today. She is 18 pounds and measured in the 80th percentile. She had 2 shots and took them like a champ!

OAP is 6 months!!

Olivia Ann is 6 months old!! I can't believe it. She has changed so much. She is discovering everything and has to touch everything that is in front of her. She loves feeling different textures and making noises. She likes making noises with her mouth and she likes to tap and scratch things. She can also sit up by herself now. She has started to pull up a little. She still has a hard time getting her one foot planted, but I have a feeling she will have mastered it pretty soon. This little girl is into EVERYTHING and when she learns to walk we will be in big trouble. 

She is getting 2 teeth on the bottom. The tip of one on the right side has peeked through and the other one is one its way. 

She is such a happy baby and loves to smile. She has a great personality already. I have a feeling that she may be a little hard headed like her mom! I can't wait to see what the next 6 months will bring with this sweet girl! 

Lily is 6!!

This past week we celebrated Lily's birthday. I can't believe she is 6 years old!! We had a cookout Saturday night and invited close family and friends.  Lily was very excited to have the Chestnutts there!
