What a month...

The month started off great and just got better. On june 2 our favorite band was playing at the Patriotic Fest in vabch on the beach. The 1st pic is me, Brandon and Isabelle with Sugar Ray (Mark Mcgrath (in the tie) is Isabelle's future husband, Murph,Stan,Craig & Rodney). At last years concert Isabelle had a sign that asked Mark to marry her and he said yes. So this yr i got him to autograph her sign. I have to say they kicked @$$ like always. It's never a bad show when they perform.

Then was the 8th grade celebration. I went to celebrate with Patrick graduating the 8th grade. Mike got to take Brandon to the ER. He had strep but is fine now.

Then we started this week with Isabelle's celebrations. I got a note from her teacher last week tell me Isabelle was getting the most indrustrious award in her class. There were only 3 awards per class and she got one. It's amazing how well everyone has settled in here. The 3rd pic is Mrs. S her teacher and Mrs. W the principal giving Isabelle her award. I surprised Isabelle that morning because she didn't know i was coming. Then on tuesday was the kindergarten celebration (graduation). After seeing how the girls at the 8th grade celebration were dressed i needed to get Isabelle a different dress. So Sunday we drove back to hampton rds to get a dress and shoes. It was a beautiful celebration. I got the digital camera and Mike had the camcorder. Most of my pics didn't turn out because Isabelle moves so fast.lol
Isabelle wanted to come home with me since they weren't doing anything. I had to pick up Patrick after his exam so i picked up Brandon and drove to chesapeake. I was planning on driving in sometime this week anyways to get the dogs some flea & tick meds. And since it was so early in the day we decided to go surprise some of the kids old teachers. Isabelles teachers and friends and even the principal were so happy to see her. Mrs. S & Mrs. B had so many hugs & kisses to give her. Plus she got her class pic and her yr book and a few reading books. We didn't want to leave but had to so everyone signed her yr book and we gave them the address to our blog. (Hi everyone in chesapeake) When we got to Brandon's old school we went to the office to check in and the secretary called Mrs. W room to tell her an old student was here to see her. We signed in and went right down. She met us in the hall way and gave him a big hug. She said i didn't tell the students who was here to see them. And when he walked in the door they all screamed his name and ran up to him. His teacher had been collecting his things and gave them to him. We also wanted to find out about the pool party that was going to be this summer at Mrs. W's house. Whoever made their AR goal for the entire yr got invited. Well Brandon made his end of the yr goal before we left at the end of march. I knew there was a reason we need to go visit the old teachers, the pool party was today. We got the invitation with directions and time and said we maybe able to come. All afternoon Brandon bugged about it. Telling me he would be very dissapointed if he couldn't go because he earned it. So when daddy got off work he took him for a bit and mommy and Isabelle went home. The rest of this week is exams for the older kids and watching movies for the younger kids. As you can tell i'm trying to past the time posing because i can't start working til after i go pick up patrick from school.
