Mrs. Moore's Class Hosts Mass

Playing a bit of catch up on the blog today.  In April Lorelai's class hosted school mass and Lorelai was the student who went up to receive the prayer chalice at the end of mass.  I snapped this picture of her and shared it with the church and it ended up on the cover of the Sooner Catholic newspaper and the cover of the Edmond Sun newspaper.  She looks so tiny, but had so much confidence.  She did a wonderful job!

8 is GREAT!

I just could not stop taking pictures of Gabriel.  My tiny little baby is really hitting a super awesome age and I'm just so excited!  We talk about EVERYTHING!  It's the BEST!!!  He is so so funny...like he brings tears to my eyes funny.  I just love giggling with this guy.  He is passionate, thoughtful, crazy smart, and as cuddly as they come.  While he's still into Legos, he's gotten the Pokemon bug, and the kid cannot turn down the chance to play a board game.  Which I LOVE!!!  We are both competitive, but in the best teasing and trash-talking with love kind of way.  He still has his moments of shyness, but with each day I see that disappearing more and more.  I just can't get over how much he's growing into himself after years of struggling to put that out there for people to see.  He receives so many compliments at school on how kind, attentive, and respectful he is.  Gabriel is one AMAZING, STUPENDOUS, TERRIFIC kid and I just know 8 is going to be GREAT!!!  :)  We're so proud of you, Buddy!  

Mutt's

When Daddy texts to say he can't make it home for dinner we head to Mutt's for food, coloring, and dancing.  

Yellow Belt

After months of hard work and conquering fears about sparring, Gabriel took his yellow belt test last night and passed with flying colors!  We're all so very proud of him!!!
