Teacher thank you

So school is out--has been out for a week here.  So nice!  But I wanted to share our teacher 'thank you' that we do each year.  This is Mr. J's.  He just finished 2nd grade!  The top picture was taken in August on the first day of school.  The bottom was taken in May just a few days before the end of school.  He has grown, and he had such a wonderful teacher to help him do that!  

I thought his turned out really cute.  I just cut out a white foam sheet so it framed the pictures and then he could decorate it any way he wanted.  We glued it to a heavy piece of cardboard on the back.  Miss E also did a cute one for her 5th grade teacher, but she gave it to her teacher before I got a picture of it.  

Happy end of the school year!

2013 Blue Jeans Week 20

Busy last week of school.  Summer has officially started at our house!  yeah!  It was a big last week with Mother's day and all the end of school activities, field trips, and awards assemblies not to mention the huge regional track meet.  Saturday I was so totally exhausted.  We spent the day cleaning the house and working in the yard and then Ben and I finally got a date night.  So nice.  So ready for the lazy days of summer!!!  Here is a look at our crazy busy last week of school. . .

Mother's Day--church was nice, I got a new watch I had been wanting.  Ben and the kids made a yummy dinner, and I got to relax with these two cute boys and take a nice long nap.  It was a good day! 

Last field trip!!!  I went with Mr J's class to the zoo.  Lots of fun!

President's award assembly.  Miss E and her amazing teacher!  What a great year she has had!!!

End of the year band concert--Miss O's first band concert of many.  She has only been in the band about 9 weeks.  She is playing the trombone and French horn and then the piano in the jazz band.  Band parents here we come!

Miss E had her 5th grade graduation.  Man!  Her and two cute friends.  They had a blast!

Big regional track meet.  Miss A did awesome.  She beat her personal best time in the mile and got 5th by 2 seconds.  Unfortunately only the top 4 make it to state, but that is okay.  She had an amazing varsity track season as a freshman, and we are sure proud of her!  Watch out for her next year!!!

Our yearly end of school "Toyota" jump picture.  Yeah!  School's out for the summer!!!!
