Smyrna Christmas Tree Lighting

 

 

Teasley's First Grade Class w as asked to sing at the annual Christmas Tree Lighting.  Lola is on the 2nd row and is getting blocked a bit by the first row.  If you can find Preteka who is wearing a pink head band to the right of Ms. Chase, Lola is standing just behind her on the left. 

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!  Lola met a new friend, Kayla at dinner....

Happiest Place on Earth

To celebrate Lola's birthday we took a family trip to Disney and found out first hand why it's the happiest place on earth.  We really had a good time with Cousin Bryce and Auntie LaShara.  We had a character lunch with Winnie the Pooh and friends and shockingly Lola was not afraid of them.  She even hugged them all....

We went on several roller coaster rides which Lola really enjoyed.  So much that even today she puts her hands up in the car if we are riding up/down a hill.  We hope to return to Disney soon...

 

I cant believe she gave Winnie a hug



and piglet too

Happy Birthday Lola

After a lovely happy birthday serenade from Grandpa Dan Lola blew out her candle and opened a few gifts!  6 years old, I'm stil so amazed!

Big Time First Grader

I think Doug and I were  more excited than Lola!  But here we are on the first day of class of the first grade at Teasley!

Roller Skating Queen

Lola waited patiently all week to go roller skating.  She woke up last Thursday morning saying she couldn't wait to go roller skating that evening.  It was her first adventure on skates, she only fell times, I thought she did pretty good!  Especially given the new contraption they have for kids to learn with these days.  We didn't have any of this stuff!!

Bubbles on the Green in Duluth

What a fun day in the bubbles, well it was more like hypoallergenic suds but the kids seem to enjoy running back and forth between the fountains and the bubble machine....

Dancing at the Movies

Dancing at the movies was the theme for this years recital.  Each class danced to a different movie theme.  Lola's classed tapped to Annie.

Lola broke formation for a moment to remind her fellow dancer she was in the wrong place...imagine that.

Field Day Teasley

Field Day was a blast!  Who knew kindergarteners could be so competitive?   The sack race was a lot of fun but also a bit challenging.  But everyone managed to finish the race.

Mommy I want Glasses!

Lola nearly had a fit in Macy's because she wanted eye glasses.  I had to remind her that she has perfect vision and glasses are not neccessary.  Especially glasses which cost 400 bucks.  She shed a tear or two before finally putting them back.  she does look cute though, doesnt she?

Morning Hike on Kennesaw Mounta

We enjoyed a beautiful morning on Kennesaw Mnt.  Lola managed to make it all the way to the top and back  

An Afternoon at the Atlanta Symphony

The Atlana Symphony presented Charlotte and the Music Man a performance designed to introduce children to the symphony.  We arrived early so Lola would have an opportunity to try an instrument, she selected a violin.

Jumping for a Cause!

Lola campaigned hard and raised almost $300 for the American Heart Association!  She jumped in honor of her Uncle Dave!  Go Lola!

Frosty?

Lola really enjoyed an afternoon with Daddy, building a couple of snowmen followed by a snowball fight. 

Newest Member of the family

Uncle Keith and Aunt Tracy got lola a gift card for Xmas and Lola bought this puppy!  her name is Sparkle and she barks whines and walks like a real dog!  Lola's fave gift!

Look who made the honor roll!!!

Congrats to Lola for making the honor roll!  We knew you could do it.  Next time we need a certificate for behavior too. :-) but I'm happy with the honor roll!  Maybe she is too smart to pay attention...LOL!
