5th Grade, 4th Grade and 3rd Grade HERE WE COME

Well all three boys are passing to the next grade. Today on the way home from school, Andrew was reading his report card and noticed on the bottom that it says something like "on to 5th" with a box next to it. He got all excited and said mom it says I'm going to 5th! Was too too funny, as none of them have any issue with possibly not passing their grade levels. Was happy he was proud of himself. All three boys have done a fantastic job this year. All have reached all the goals for the year and then some. All three have worked hard and we are proud of their accomplishments. Andrew received the HONOR OF EXCELLENCE award. The only one in his classroom (there were others in his grade). That means that he earned at least 6 4's (A+) in the third and fourth quarters of this year. Once they are in 4t grade their grades are kept on file and begin accumlating towards 6th grade. In 6th grade with enough 4's they will receive the PRESIDENTIAL award signed by the President of the United States. So he is on the right road and is excited to meet a goal of achieving that award. Joshua did excellent on his report card and Triston's will be coming with good marks as well. Triston had his 3rd grade Luau today. Troy was there as parent help. They went to different stations for activities and games...had ice cream and enjoyed the day playing. Andrew and Joshua both have had end of the year parties of different sorts...pizza and ice cream. So the year has been good to all three. They are such smart and such great boys. HAPPY SUMMER BOYS!!

School's Ending...

So it has been awhile since I posted anything new...mainly because life is so busy right at the moment that I sit down to do it and am just too tired to type and think through blogging. With school winding down for the year and summer coming I am looking forward to a change. Not that I have nothing to do now, just new stuff to do. A change of senery is always nice. Troy took these pictures yesterday at the school assembly for the boys.

Backyard Bliss

So one of our favorite things is to be in the backyard enjoying the sun, warmth and pool. Yesterday we swam from probably noon til 530 PM. So fun to watch the kids get a long and play nice...the little ones to laugh and talk. To just be a family with nothing to take us away from the enjoyment of our home and yard. Everyone swam, even Kamdyn loved her pink pool as she sat and splashed, giggled and was full of smiles. What a great day!

Being a Girl!

So we love having a little girl. Among all the hand me downs were a few sun dresses...never did I think I'd put these on her, only because I couldn't wrap my head around the idea of speghetti straps on a little girl...but #1 she looks darling and #2 in May to have over 100 degree weather what else is she supposed to wear! Dressing her is so much fun and we are so loving her quiet and calm personality. She still has no desire to crawl or move all over the place, like all our boys did and still do, not ever stopping. She will sit for hours, contently playing with her toys. It is so nice. We sure feel blessed to be experiencing having a daughter.

Forever Friends

Well these are our two best little friends. They light up one anothers worlds like no one else can. They are first to start the days together as Matthew rarely goes a morning without climbing in Kamdyn's crib to tell her good morning and snuggle her for a few minutes. We love waking up to the sounds of the two of them laughing and talking. They are quite the duo. So fun.

Spring days are here

So last Saturday, at our first baseball game, Kamdyn wore sandels and her new outfit that Grandma Johnson bought her for the first time. I love all the bright pink colors in the sunshine. Was a very warm day, she looked so cute in her sunhat as well...was just fun to dress her in spring/summer clothes. Thanks for the fun stuff Grandma!
