    Rose is done with Kindergarten! She had a great year. She went every day without a fight. She was in the same class as Ellie and next door to Gentry, and She loved all of the new friends. Mrs. Crockett did not disappoint! She is SOO good and we are going to miss her SOo much now that she’s not teaching here next year.

     

    Rose! and Ellie! and Gentry!

     

    and then we went out to get Milk Shakes with Grammee!!

    Benji was in his Class play – Romeo and Juliet! He did great. Memorized all of his lines and had fun.

    So now, we are not going to play the Clarinet in 7th grade – instead he wants to do Drama and Chorus!!!!

    The high school Swim Team fundraiser is a week of swim lessons. We signed up and went every day even though it was a cold week. Benji was with Julia. Packer had Sam and Micah there. Cali was on her own but loved it. Rose was in her own class. Ray had a hard time with the cold weather. and Millie stole the show. Her teacher was great and loved her and it was good.

    Summer is almost here! School is winding down. The weather has been nice. The kids have been giddy.

    This is a classic Millie look. She has quite the hair and the looks.

    These 2 will play games with me all day. They love it. And I love it when I don’t feel like I have 100 other things to do.

    Playing in the Hancocks backyard. Yes, Tiago did try to run away one Friday night when I left him over there to play.

    Everyone loves the little car. It’s been nice having this while the bigger kids ride their bikes. And I try to read a book…

     

    More Soccer practice: and a little Christian time and monkey bars:

    Shirtless Tiago and tired Tiago watching his favorite movie:

     

    Millie still gets worn out in the afternoons:

    Erica took Ray, Millie and Tiago to the birdcage park. I thought I was going with them until I realized I only had 3 diapers in the house. I went to Walmart instead.

    Grade Up Day

    No Comments

    Rose got to go to school from 9:15-1:15 and visit all of the 1st grade classrooms and teachers. She loved it! Benji got to be her and Ellie’s 6th grade buddy! He loved it. Rose loved walking home with all the neighborhood kids.

    This year they didn’t get split into their new classes and see who their new teacher might be so… we all just have to wait to find out. We are getting a new Principal and Vice Principal this next year so…

    Ray is getting excited to go to Kindergarten!

    Field Trip and Play Dates

    No Comments

    Rose had her first field trip and school bus ride! They went to the children’s museum at Thanksgiving Point and she got to be with Ellie and Cammy and Jamie.

    Ray has always been a home body. He is content with the siblings and enjoys time with each of them. This month he branched out a little and played with Allie across the street and then went and knocked on the door at Noah’s house! It took all of his nerve but he did it and he had a lot of fun. There are 4 or 5 kids his age in the neighborhood so he could have lots of fun if he decides he wants to…
