And we close the door

{in about four weeks}

 

on Frank-o’s Kindergarten school year.  Tonight was his End-of-the-Year program/Kindergarten graduation. 

 

If this post seems familiar…….same post, same occasion, same program, this time last year. 

 

Got the t-shirt! … in a different color …

It seems as though this’ll be our order of events for the next few years to come.

Slight role reversal on the proud brother scene…….

And the same two very proud parents!!

Coincidentally, Frank-o recited the very same last line of the program that Buck-a-roo recited in the microphone last year.  Frank-o told us that he requested that of his teacher (also Buck-a-roo’s Kindergarten teacher). 

Truth……maybe?  Special…..indeed!

Happy St Patrick's Day!

He was so excited!! As is his excitement for his upcoming indoor swimming birthday party this weekend!

Let's Rock n Roll

Another big {running} weekend for the Vaughn Family is coming to an end .....

We spent the weekend in New Orleans for the Rock n Roll Marathon!

The fun began on Saturday when the boys ran the ING Kids Rock 1-mile Run!


They had a blast! It was my first time to race with them, so I had fun too! Buck-a-roo pulled ahead of Frank-o and I but we (all three) finished strong!

Today was Daddy Buck's race..... the Rock n Roll New Orleans Half Marathon. It was his second half marathon. And, by far, his biggest race; participant wise, with 22,000 runners!!


He finished at 1:52:25, a personal record for half marathon!
It was my first time spectating, as opposed to running; therefore, it was my first time to actually see Daddy Buck run and finish.......very special!

Another weekend of family running.......we rocked n rolled!

Baseball at the Box

Last night was opening night of LSU Tigers Baseball at Alex Box Stadium!


This makes our third year in a row to make opening weekend of Baseball at the Box! I blogged about the two previous years here and here!


Buck-a-roo was thrilled that baseball season is finally here and can hardly wait for his own baseball season to start in a few weeks because this year is an exciting year.........the highly anticipated year that he gets to move up to the 'Coach Pitch' league!


He had his own excitement at the ballpark last night amidst the peanuts, sunflower seeds, Starburst, and popcorn.......he pulled his loose front tooth!


Frank-o, too, was thrilled to be back in the bleachers.......he and "his" Mike the Tiger!


And, he and "his" Mike the Tiger had a visit from "the" Mike the Tiger!

Our LSU Tigers WON their season opener and here's hoping for a promising 2012 baseball season of Baseball at the {Alex} Box {Stadium}!
