Jason's Birthday

Every year we go the deckboat to eat for Jason's birthday.  Here are some pictures from our latest 35th celebration!

Motorcycle Girl

Papa got a new motorcycle and we can't believe how much Dayona loves it.  She is constantly asking to ride nana and papas bicycle.  She is also very caring.  The other day she ask her nana why papa didn't have presents at his birthday, and then she ask him how the socks worked that we had got him for his birthday.  Its kind of disgusting but she also has caught two flies in the past week with her bare hands.  She is so quick.  We put one in her bug house and looked at it for a minute before setting him free.  She also sang a special at nana and papa Byrd's church.  She sang "this little light of mine".  I thought she might be nervous, but was I ever wrong.  She kept asking when it would be her turn, and was very comfortable and active on stage.  So proud of my big girl!!

World traveler

Dayona loved the disney cruise.  She said her favorite was the princesses.  She even sang karaoke all by herself (when she went up to sing she grabbed the mic and a lady in the audience said oh shes ready!)and had to sit by a window seat on the plane ride home.  Jason and I had fun as well.  We rode the aquaduck and saw two shows "The Golden Mickeys" and "believe"  Both of the shows were awesome!!!  Day loved jumping to her daddy from the pool while watching Dumbo.  She even said she was sad to go home and wanted to stay on the boat.  She also went to a pirate club dance party and danced with her mommy.  Next time we need to bring ear protection, but other than that Day was wonderful.  She also went by Gatorland or world and day said she wanted to live their in a little house with the gators.

Graduation FINALLY!!!!

I finally graduated.  Our whole family is very excited.  Dayona went to both my reception and graduation and was sooo good at both of them.  At the big graduation, when everyone started walking in Dayona said, "I'll never find my mommy!", but we did finally see each other.  I graduated with honors (4.0 in all masters classes)!  My goal is to pay off my student loans, maybe part of the house, save up for a car, get some money in savings, and then go part-time!!!  I've already had four offers, but we have decided to try Geary for a year and then do PRN for rehab care at Hydro nursing home.  Dayona is getting so good at t-ball.  She hustles after the ball no matter where it goes.  Papa Joe went to her game this week and yelled at her "get your game face on", when she got to a ball before another little girl and let the other little girl throw it he yelled "good sharing Day Day."
