Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
They did it! They made it through the school year and they THRIVED!
Tuesday was the last day and I think they were all pretty excited to wrap up the school year and kick off summer!
First Day to Last Day!
I thought they deserved a little treat that afternoon!
See ya later 1st, 3rd, and 5th! We’re hitting the pool!!
In the fall and spring we hosted Bible Club for all 3 grades. 5th grade was in GJ’s backyard after school on Mondays. I don’t have any pics from that but it’s a well oiled machine thanks to Frank’s grandmother!
3rd grade boys met at our house before school on Tuesdays and we always had a good turnout. We got dads to do the lesson each week and that worked out really well.
1st grade girls met at our house on Wednesday mornings. Katey, Gina and Fran did a great job all year engaging the girls!
It is fun to host things like this so I get to know the kids’ friends better. Lots of early mornings but it’s worth it!
Today is the last day of school! We did it!! Still have things to wrap up from the last few weeks…
First grade got to go on a field trip to Jones Valley Teaching Farm where they chopped up some veggies and made their own snack! Samantha even said it tasted good! Amazing!
Third grade got to walk to the zoo and check out the animals for half a day. Fun and hot!
Fifth grade presented their country project. I enjoyed learning all about Monkestan!
School fun!
Ah, The Dream Team!! Formerly known as The Narwhals, formerly known as The Glitter Unicorns, formerly known as The Sparkle Unicorn Sprinkle Marshmallow Blueberries or was it The Blueberry Cupcake Sparkle Princess Unicorns? Not sure but I do know they’ve always dominated! Samantha has been a soccer star back to her first team, The Lemons, that had 3 of the current team members. This season was no different! They had a great season and Samantha, once again, proved she’s got some mad soccer skills!!
The Dream Team ended the season as undefeated regular season champs!! Woohoo! They had a tough loss in the tournament on a 90 degree day in the direct sun and ended up taking home silver with a second place tournament finish. Still very impressive!
Her footwork was really impressive this season. She can get the ball turned around, make good passes, and she really perfected the POWER KICK! What she brings most though is hustle! She goes after that ball, plays aggressively, and shows that competitive spirit!
She also laughs and giggles and does cartwheels on the sidelines! The perfect combination!
Samantha is a (the?) top scorer so doesn’t ever get to play goalie but she did get to in one game. I think she liked it for a second but then wanted to get back in on that action!
Of course soccer is more fun to play with your friends!
I just love to watch her play. She puts her whole heart into it and I could just burst with pride.
Way to go Samantha, my soccer star!!
She’s definitely #1 in my book!!
It’s the last Friday of the school year! We’re almost there!! Wrapping up before school pics from the last few weeks…
Not always happy when brother butts in!
Love this trio!!
It’s been a great year and this crew is ready for summer!!
