2013 Fun Run

Fun Fair @ CDC

Another last at Children's Discover Center.  This is Olivia's last Fun Fair at CDC.  It is their end of year celebration and I love it because all the activities at the fair cost money.  But not real money, it cost CDC Money!  And you earn CDC money by behaving, being kind and working hard in class.  So proud of my girl, she had a wallet-full! 

Here is the basketball toss.

 Jumping tent

 It was a Livi/Daddy day!  I'm not gonna lie.  I was kind of jealous, but completely out of personal days, so I was glad Daddy could go and that he got to experience the fun.

 Clown toss

 And this my friends was the best part of fun fair.  Olivia Kristene Brooks, daughter of Roger and Kristy Brooks, won the running race.  She beat all the girls in her classroom.  I don't know how she pulled this one off but we couldn't be prouder.

Mother's Day Breakfast



This is Olivia's last year at Children's Discovery Center and I am so sad.  This school has been the perfect place for Olivia.  We have seen her grow into quite an amazing young lady.  So Children's Discovery Center has a very special tradition for Mother's Day call Mother's Day Breakfast, which I live for and I am so sad that this is my last:(  So the Friday before Mother's day, they host a beautiful breakfast that the children prepare the day before.  So here we are getting ready.  And yes, I let her wear a little make up.  She was so excited.

 

So they serenaded us with some really sweet mommy songs

Then they read an interview which they did the week before and this is where the mom's are all praying that thier kid doesn't say something to embarrass them.  Like last year when Olivia said the best thing I cook for dinner is corn dogs or your actual age.  This year, nothing too bad.  Good Job Olivia!

Here she is with Evan - he has been like a younger brother to Liv, mainly because they have been together since Evan was born and she likes to boss him around. 

 

This is her good pal Ronke. Nothing but giggles when they are together

And this is the principal of Children's Discovery Center, Mrs. Mays.  She rocks!

Another wonderful Mother's Day Breakfast in the books.  CDC we will miss you!

CDC Spring Musical

This year's CDC Spring Musical was "A Night of Nursery Rhymes" and Olivia was one of the Pigs.  

 After walking down the red carpet, each actor got to take a picture with Mother Goose herself

 The grand entrance

 Their performance was of the 5 little piggies.  You know, this little piggy went to market . . . . . Only this was the 5 Piggy Rap.  It was so cute
