Field Day at Mathews Elementary

Sydney and Samantha had a great time at field day. They did great at the three legged race! Taylor had fun watching and even got to walk in the fourth grader line.

He looks Marvelous!!!!!

The annual haircut has occurred an Mommy and Sydney are thrilled!!!!!!

Sydney completed the fourth grade with flying colors. We went to Daddy's softball game that night and then celebrated her accomplishment with pizza for dinner. She got to eat off of the Case family special plate, which was created just for us by Aunt Leslie. Anytime we have a special event in the family, or a great accomplishment, that person gets to eat off of the special plate. I thought it was cute that Sydney put a special touch on the special plate by giving the cat large pizza ears!!!!!! Congrats to Sydney. I can't believe that she is going to be a fifth grader.

Baby Jaws. Steve and Sydney caught several baby
sharks from the pier that was about 200 yards from
where we were swimming. I convinced myself that
mother sharks stay 3 miles away from their babies at
ALL TIMES>

These little sharks were all about the squid bate. Sydney
convinced me to touch one and it felt like smooth rubber.
Kind of like a wet suit. They were nothing but muscle. YIKES

Sydney held some of the sharks (as long as they weren't bleeding.)
She loved being at the pier with Steve.

On a less frightening note, Sydney found a lone
boogie board and made it her own for Sunday. She
and Taylor had a great time playing with it. It was
the typical big sibling, little sibling scandal. You
pull me on the boogie board first and then I will
pull you. (notice there are no pics of Taylor on the
boogie board)

Gran the trooper. Gran bravely agreed to sleep with Taylor.
I couldn't resist this shot on Mother's day morning. Taylor's
pink toes are rammed into the back of Gran's neck. Happy
Mother's day!!!!!! You never stop being a Mom.

Saturday-----Fun in the sun!

Sydney's new tropical suit!

Please disregard the belly!

Saturday night we ate at Sullivan's after a failed attempt to navigate our way across the Ben Sawyer Bridge in order to eat at Vickerys'. This was especially frustating because we made two separate phone calls for directions prior to leaving the condo. Oh well, no business for Vickerys'! I thought it was funny to learn that our waitress at Sullivans was from Greenwood and still has family here. They are the owners of the daycare that Sydney used to attend. You know what they say about Greenwood... all roads lead to it.

Gran and Taylor at the fishing pier watching Daddy and Sydney attempt to catch crabs. (no such luck)

Clemson Grad!

Lining up prior to convocation. Time for group pictures!

Clemson University, School of Nursing, Candidate for Master of Science in Nursing!!!!

Love the way our "one size fits all" gowns are so becoming. The post convocation pics are on Mom's camera, so I don't have any with my hood on. I didn't think this day would ever arrive!!!! But it is over now and we are off to the Beach to celebrate!!
