Family movie

Dad is loving his new job. There were a few adjustments at first with working from home but he has figured those out and loving it. The company is great to its employees. Today they shut the offices and took all the employees to go and see How to Train a Dragon. When Kevin got the email about it he was bummed since he wasn't in Salt Lake but at the end of the email it said that all offsite people could take their families with them to see it on the company. It was a special treat.

Ashley's last day of school

Today was the last day of 2nd grade for Ashley today. It has been such a great year for her. Mrs. Lemmon is such an amazing teacher. She has reached Ashley in ways that other teachers haven't been able too. Ashley has excelled as a student this year.

Ashley also had her best friend Kinnlie in the same class with her. These two get along so well and there was no girl drama this year like in years past with other girls. I hope they get to be in the same class next year too. There is nothing better then having class with your best friend.

Ashley was not ready for the school year to end. She is also sad because Mrs. Lemmon is not coming back next year because she is having a baby. We will miss her so much.

Ashley finished her day by camping in the backyard with Allison. They pulled the tent out and set it all up by themselves. I wasn't sure that it was going to work out but they did end up falling asleep. At 2 in the morning they did end up coming in though because they got cold. They had fun and made great memories.

It was great end to the school year for Ashley.

Feild Day

Field day was today at Ashley's school. I signed up to help and Alli wanted to come along. It was fun going around to each station. Alli was a real help too she would join the teams to make it even since we had an odd number of kids .

Ashley had fun and her and Kinnlie were partners at all the games. It was fun watching them together.

Ashley also showed us that she still has her hula-hooping skills. No one could beat her.

Kinnlie's sister Bri Alli's best friend showed up half way through so Alli had a friend their too.

Alli got a little more chatty then helpful but it was fun watching them. I love helping out with field day especially when the weather was nice like today.

Apple Pie

Allison came home from church and wanted to bake an apple pie from scratch. Kevin told her it was too hard and she couldn't do it. She wanted to show prove him wrong and ended up doing it. She made the crust and everything.

She always amazes me. It was yummy too.

National Donut Day

Kevin took the girls out to Krispy Kreme tonight since it was National Donut Day. They always jump at the chance to get fresh donuts. They said that it was crazy at the store but it was a fun little outing.

6th grade awards

Last week we recieved a letter that Allison was going to get an award at the 6th grade assembly. I knew that she had received straight A's so I knew that she would be getting an award for that. She worked so hard and was motivated to keep her straight A's. She makes us so proud with how hard she works to be a good student and pave a great path out for her future.

The teachers also picked students for P.R.I.D.E awards. Allison was picked by her English teacher for responsibility. She also got received the excellence award from her typing teacher. She is an amazing little girl and I am proud her and all her accomplishments.

Madison also did an amazing job at her first year of high school. We got her report card and she is ranked 90th out of 412 students in her grade. I am so proud of all my girls and how focused they are on school and how they work their hardest and push themselves to do their best.

Ashley's play

Mrs. Lemmon thought it might be fun to do something fun with the kids since school is almost over. She found some little puppet shows for them to work on in groups and preform. The kids loved it so much that she invited the parents up to watch them. Ashley was the main character in her little group and she did such a great job with all of her speaking parts. She always seems to amaze me with how adventurous she is and that she tries everything by just jumping in and doing it. It was a cute little play about a red bird. It was fun to watch.
