Shane really loves Chuck E Cheese's and SpongeBob, so we had his party at Chuck E Cheese's and bought a SpongeBob Cupcake Cake! We had a great time.... Shane was tooo funny running all around, hugging his friends, playing the games, and most importantly enjoying his time with Chuckie! A great friend of ours works at Chuck E Cheese and really took great care of us! THANKS KRISTINA for everything!!! Kristina even made sure Shane had a cute cup that makes him look like he has Chuckie's mouth! Shane's friends: Izzy &Nathan, Danny, Matt & Kirsten, Gabe & Allison, Dean, Aubrey, Katie, Preston, Cody & Chase along with Big Brother Antonio and our family, all joined in the celebration!!! Everyone had a fabulous time!!! Thanks to all our friends and family who joined us on Sunday :) I still am amazed that he is two already!!! He is getting sooo big :)

(Shane had celebrated with Santi early and plans on visiting Jillian and her brothers so that he can get some birthday lovin... !)

On Tuesday, June 2, 2009 Antonio celebrated his 5th grade graduation! What a milestone! It seems like just yesterday my little 5 year old started Kindergarten! Now he's officially a 6th grader!!!!

His school had an Awesome ceremony and I was so thankful that I was able to attend!!! My mom was also able be a part of this wonderful day! The ceremony started with a great speech by his Principal about the importance of staying focused and setting goals. She had a cute theme following the story of the Wizard of Oz throughout her speech. After making it down the yellow brick road, it was time for awards and recognitions! Antonio is a great student and has worked very hard in 5th grade as well as throughout elementary school! We are very proud of his achievements! He received an award and medal for being the Highest Reader, an award and pin for Excellence for his FCAT reading score, an award and pin for receiving at least Honor Roll all year long and also an Excellence in Art award! He also made the Principal's List!! He was just beaming! As you can see in the pictures, he proudly wore his lapel pins and medal! We are working on having the certificates framed!!
It truly was such an exciting and special day :)
After the awards, each teacher presented their students with their moving up certificate! The ceremony ended with all of the 5th grades standing together arm in arm singing Stand By Me!! Just awesome!
