Griner Happenings for the Second Half of April 2009!!

The last several weeks have been filled with everything from college visits, 1 week late Easter picture attempts, Landon's 5th birthday at home and preschool, and John's Junior prom. There was also Addi's Spring Program and other fun events throughout the weeks. Andi tried out for the colorguard/flagline again and made it!! We are so proud of her. John and Andi had their highschool band banquet this past Saturday night and Spring Band Concert Performance Sunday afternoon. Both events were very nice and they did great! I did not caption every picture as we have a lot, and I barely have time to blog it seems much less caption everything.

Tonight is Landon's preschool graduation into Pre-Kindergarten and then tomorrow night John and Andi perform with the band in dowtown Knoxville's Tenessee Theater. It will be a big deal and should be very nice.

I can't believe the school year is almost over!! Many more events before it officially ends though, and will try to keep up with them!!

My attempt at some Easter Pictures for 2009. On Easter Sunday was when Landon was so sick with pneumonia, so needless to say we did not go to church. The kids did not get to wear their Easter clothes so we wore them one week late. I tried to get some pics, but as you can see they were a little rough. It was raining outside, so the indoor lighting was not the best. Plus Landon, who still was not 100%, was not into picture taking. Oh well, take it for what it is, a memory!

















A couple of pics of Addi's preschool performance. I videoed mostly. The program was so precious and she was hilarious. To give you an idea, she was dancing so hard she fell right off the risers. She was ok though and got right back up, with a teacher's help, and rocked on! Then Landon had a birthday party in class to celebrate turing 5! What a big boy!!











John's Junior Prom 2009. John looked very handsome in his tux for this year's prom. He went with a girl from church named Katie. They had a great time and we are so proud of him. I can NOT believe he will be a senior in 3 weeks!!


























Landon turns 5!!! We had a great Race Car 5th Birthday party for Landon. All of our family and some friends were able to come. It has become a tradition now to have a pinata, so the kids got lots of candy! Landon loved all his gifts and is enjoying his new bicycle. If only it would quit raining!! Landon is one of a kind and so precious. We are so thankful for who he is and the honor of having him for a son!!

How in the world did you find time to post all those pictures? I'm glad you did though! Wonderful pictures and great catching up with you guys! You know how you usually never see the Mama in pictures and once you finally do, it's a nice surprise? Anyways, what a great surprise to see you in the pics - and by the way, you look amazing!!!! I love the pics of you with the kids and especially the one of you and Mike. Congrats to Andi, John looked so handsome and Happy 5th to Landon! Addi...well, you're just cute as can be (can't leave her out). Hope May brings some calmness in the Griner household!
