Jaclyn's 14th Week

We started being able to sit up in our Bumbo chair this week. She can hold her head up for almost twenty minutes in this chair! We also have been laughing a lot lately; earlier this week, she completely chuckled back and forth with Daddy.
Would've been cuter if I didn't chop off the top of her head.

We're noticing a lot of red in her hair now. We think she might be a strawberry blonde or an auburn baby. You can see it alot of it in this picture.
This is a new face too!

Jaclyn's 13th Week

Jaclyn spent the morning playing with her Daddy!

I think we had one like this earlier, when you compare them, you can see how much she's grown!

After so much playing, it's time for a nap!

Jaclyn made it to our end of the year party. It was a luau, so I got her a hawaian dress for the occasion.

My boys on the last day of school. Jaclyn and I had to come visit. Mrs. Carter took Jaclyn with her 1st graders so I could hang out with my kids for a little bit

Ms. Lopez, Mrs. D, and Amelita

5th grade ROCKS! Here's me, Cristina, and Lacey (my AMAZING long-term sub)!

Me and Nick

And here's me and Jeremiah Lacy at the 6th graders vs the teachers softball game. (I actually hit the ball at this game, unfortunately, it went straight into DeJone's glove!)

Jaclyn's 12th Week

This was a really fun week. We had lots of reasons to dress up this week. This picture was before Steph and Dillon's wedding. We had to use the blanket to make sure Jaclyn didn't spit up on me before we left. We LOVED the tuxedos Dillon picked out. They were dark brown with pin stripes and a gold vest. The boys all looked great; there are more pictures later in the post.
Here's Jaclyn in Daddy's favorite PJ's...
Mommy and Jaclyn with Mommy's Student Council. We did a fundraising contest with the mall all year and came in 5th place out of 16 schools. We earned $750 for the school!

Mommy and Jaclyn before Steph and Dillon's rehearsal dinner. Their wedding colors were yellow and brown, so Great-Grandma Dinwiddie bought her an appropriate dress for the occasion.

Apparantly, great minds think alike...Alisha showed up with a dress that matched Jaclyns!

Casey with Jaclyn, she's 24 weeks pregnant (or was in this picture) and having a little girl also.

Here's a good picture of Casey's bump!

The boys at the rehearsal dinner...


...and the girls

John and Nichole; he was so excited to walk with her!

Unfortunately, our district is having budget problems, so not only did we have to say goodbye to our 6th graders this year, but also to our 5th graders. The middle schools are now going to be 6-8, instead of just a 7-8. The only question now is where John is going to work. This is our "Last Minute" 5th grade promotion; we did the best we could with three days notice!

Here's part of my student council at the 5th grade promotion.

Here's our 5th grade group A...

...and Group B (we team teach, so decided to call the classes A and B, instead of Dinwiddie/Lopez, so the kids understood that we were both their teachers)

I had to put this picture in; this is before 6th grade promotion. This is Lil' Gippy, Nick, and Jhaylen. Don't they look cute?

Robo and John. Hopefully not the last time they teach together. We're keeping our fingers crossed! David's going to be a father soon too!
