Pomp and Circumstance

On to Kindergarten!

My blogging today is about our dear friends the Dunbars! Jack and Elizah Dunbar graduated from Pre-K today. Their graduation ceremony was really, really cute. All the kids were all dressed up and had these cute little paper mortar boards on their little heads. They performed songs lead by their fabulous music teacher Ashlee Dunbar. Their favorite song was probably The Bear Hunt but they also sang some sweet songs that made all of us attending try hard not to cry. At the end they each let go of a balloon with a prayer tied to it and watched them go up in the sky.

I remember Pre-K graduation being such a big step for Bennett, and the Dunbar twins are ready to go, they are off to start their Elementary School career. I asked Jack if he was ready for Kindergarten and he nonchalantly said yep! We send our best to them both and wish them a fabulous summer! Bennett is of course available for Elementary School advice sessions if needed. We are so proud of you!

Spring Soccer Season Comes to an End

Bennett finally had his last soccer game and soccer party where he got a very cool trophy! His team won all their games except they lost 1 game and tied 1 game! GO Lightning! Bennett played alot of offense and scored a lot and assisted alot. He became a really good passer this season and was able to set up his teammates for goals. Sounds a lot like David Beckham I know.

Guitar Hero

So Bennett was nice enough to pose for some Guitar Hero pictures. He has completed Easy and Medium and is half way through Hard. If you haven't done Guitar Hero I will tell you that is quite an accomplishment. To put it in perspective I am through Easy and half through Medium. To get to this point I actually spent 6 HOURS one weekend trying to beat Tom Morrell on Medium! It is not easy.

Lanier's Cook Out in spite of gross back yard

We aren't letting the fact that our backyard has no grass and tons of weeds in it stop of us from enjoying this gorgeous time of year. We have been cooking out like mad. Bennett and Mark cook, and the dogs sniff. This weekend we had hamburgers on Saturday and then Lamb chops on Sunday! Gourmet huh? You wouldn't think in a backyard like ours you could serve up such gourmet meals...but somehow we make it work.

Last...but certainly not Least! MOTHER'S Day 2008

So I hope all those Mother's out there had a great Mother's Day and were treated like the fabulous women we all are. I had a great Mother's Day. My family took great care of

me. There was breakfast, poems, flowers, naps, reading by the pool, dogs getting along and a delicious dinner to end the day. It was perfect.

SPRING FEVER!!!

Well folks it is official! The Laniers are totally over committed and have SPRING FEVER! Bennett can't concentrate in school and I have some many other-then-work commitments I am fading fast! We are excited school is almost out though! I was hoping this blog would be about Bennett's last soccer game which was supposed to be on Saturday but it got rained out this weekend.

So instead I am going to blog about how fast this school year has gone. Here is a picture of Bennett on the first day of school and if you check out our picture of the week you will see Bennett now. He seems so grown up to me after 9 months of schooling. He has mastered multiplication and they are now doing division...which he isn't having any trouble with. Amazing! That is all for now.
