End of Year Party - Kindergarten

Today, Cooper's class had their end of year party.  The kids had so much fun playing games, eating snacks and just running around.  Cooper has had a great kindergarten year and we will definitely miss his teacher, Ms. S.

Mother's Day 2014

Reagan and Cooper wrote some very nice things about me for Mother's Day..

 By Reagan:

My Mom's Name Is:  Tara Carpenter Sandidge

She is 40 years old and 5 ft 2 in tall.  I think she weighs 80lbs.  My mom grew up in Soddy Daisy Tennessee.  I think mom graduated in 1972. 

My mother's favorite color is purple.  She loves to eat strawberries.  Her most memorable time with our family was when we had family movie night.  My mom always reminds me to turn off the lights.  I know mom is tired when she works out.  I can always tell she is mad when we do something wrong.  I know she loves our family because she is nice.  Her least favorite chore is laundry.  She really loves it when I do things with a good attitude.  I give her hugs and kisses 3 times a day.  I love my mother more than anything.
