Awards, Awards, and More Awards!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I am just a little bit of a proud mom, but I must say, I was so, so proud of my daughter when I attended her awards ceremony Friday at school.  I knew she had all A's and I knew she had perfect attendance but I never dreamed she would walk away with all the awards that she walked off with.  She has struggled with Math this year and trying to do homework has been a nightmare, but I am beginning to think that she really knows what she is doing, she is just giving me a hard time about it.  She received highest grade in Math, an award for excellent behavior, highest average in spelling, highest average in reading, a trophy for perfect attendance, highest average in accelerated reading, and 2nd place books read in accelerated reading by reading 61 books!!  Wow!!  Way to go Kaitlyn.  Your daddy and I as well as granny, papaw and Mimi are so, so proud of you. 

My pictures didn't turn out just real good. The awards ceremony was in the high school gym. But here is Kaitlyn with her boyfriend Levi after receiving her first metal.

Here is Kaitlyn with her cousin Madison. They both received perfect attendance.

Here is Kaitlyn and her friend Katrina.

Kaitlyn and her BFF's.  Breanna, Abreanna and Turner.

I am sad that the year is over with because that means she will be older next time she goes to school.  She is growing up way too fast.  I am so proud of you baby girl!!  Keep up the good work.

Another Award..........How Exciting

I have received another award.  I just love getting awards so feel free to send me one anytime you like!!  My dear friend Tara over at Keeping Up With The Kelly's has sent me this "Gorgeous Blogger Award."  Thanks so much Tara.  You are the greatest!! 

Part of accepting this award is to list 6 things you probably don't know about me and then I must pass it along to 6 other gorgeous blogging friends.  So here it goes:

1.)  I cannot start cooking supper until I have completely cleaned up the kitchen.  I know it sounds silly since I am fixing to mess the kitchen up again anyways, but I assume it has something to do with my OCD.  I also like to wash up my dishes as I go if I have time.  This is something my mother-in-law taught me but now with two kids it is not always possible.  But it does make less to clean up after eating.

2.)  Another one of my OCD issues is that if I cannot find something I am looking for, I may tear the house apart until I find it.  It will absolutely drive me crazy until I find it.  I actually had this happen this morning.  I was looking for a lid to something and so I was throwing pots and pans, etc., (Not really, but you get the picture) and was about to drive my husband crazy.  Needless to say, he was very glad when I finally found the lid.

3.)  I was born in West Memphis, Arkansas and only lived there 2 years and then moved to Bald Knob, Arkansas after my parents divorced.

4.) I love lemon pepper.  When I was kid I would eat it out of the palm of my hand.  I know that sounds gross but I just love it.  Sorry. 

5.) I love Build-A-Bear.  My kids have been a few times and have the cute bears, but I would love to go and stuff the bear and dress it up.  I just think that would be so neat. 

6.) One of my best friends from high school set me and my husband up and I am so thankful she did.  Thanks Jennifer. 

Okay, that was kind of hard, but I did it!!  Now, I have to pick 6 gorgeous bloggers to accept this award.  It is going to be hard because I have so many wonderful blog friends but here it goes:

1.  Hannah

2.  Sonya

3.  Tisha

4.  Amy

5.  Mimi

6.  Cathy

Here you are ladies.  You all have gorgeous blogs!! 

P.S. - I have been blogging most of the day off and on and I have tired to make comments on different ones blogs and for some reason my computer will not let me, so I apologize.  I have tried to comment to different ones today.
