Ashlyn's end of school year party

Ashlyn had a GREAT kindergarten year. We loved Mrs. B! The room parents were also amazing...as you can see by this fun end of the year party. It was perfect!

They made bird feeders

And dunked for apples

Last day of Preschool--Popsicle time!

Trevor, Ashlyn and Corbin all learned how to slide down a fire pole from this little play structure. There was a moment of victory for each of them as they would show me how they mastered the ladder climbing and sliding down the pole.

Tre, Corbin and Sage eat Popsicles and say goodbye to each other and preschool!

I have LOVED Corbin's preschool teachers this year. They were easy to communicate with, organized and loving. They always went above and beyond in how they taught and cared for our children.

I served as Co-room parent with Margi Chase and it was a blast. The teachers asked us to bring hula hoops and balls and bubbles. They were a hit.

I love this so much.

The kids found a secret passage way in the bushes...

Inside the secret passage way

Love these guys...

I have no idea why this picture is skewed...

Typical funny Corbin face

NUMBER ONE SPEECH

"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

"There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that's first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.

"Every time a football player goes to ply his trade he's got to play from the ground up - from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That's O.K. You've got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.

"Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organization - an army, a political party or a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win - to beat the other guy. Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don't think it is.

"It is a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men. That's why they are there - to compete. To know the rules and objectives when they get in the game. The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules - but to win.

"And in truth, I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline. There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head to head combat.

"I don't say these things because I believe in the 'brute' nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear - is that moment when he has to work his heart out in a good cause and he's exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."
