End of the Year Party

OK, the 2008-2009 school year has officially come to an end! We had a "End of the Year" party at our house to celebrate such a good year. We had the best teachers, the best group of parents and kids this year!

Everyone got here around 10 in the morning and the playing began! The kids played and played and played, some didn't even want to stop to eat lunch. All of them were on their best behavior, no one got in trouble, even Logan!

The only incident we had was Lucas falling out of the tree house. Well he actually he just missed a step climbing down the ladder. But he was super brave and very upset that he had to leave the party early to get an x-ray. He only sprained it, thank the Lord! We were afraid Ms. Betty might throw a hip out while she was hula hooping!!! But she didn't, she just showed us all how to do it!!

We tried to play some "organized" games. All the adults were game for some potato relay races, even though we all didn't get to participate! Ha!

It was a great party! My boys crashed afterwards! They love their school friends and teachers! We are going to miss everyone sooooooo much next year! Thanks to Ms. Betty and Ms. Peggy for an awesome year, thanks for the dedication to the education of my children. You guys are the best teachers we could have ever asked for and you guys will always be part of our family!! Love you both so much!!!!

MZ can hula hoop! Major hip action!

Thanks everyone for coming and making the party such a great success! We love you guys more than words can say and hope we can be lifelong friends!

The Blue Dog

Big Daddy drives an older model, blue Toyota pub truck named "The Blue Dog." He picks the boys up every morning and takes them to school in this truck. The boys LOVE Blue Dog!! C wants to learn how to drive it this summer, it's a stick shift, we'll see about that? They think this truck is the coolest truck on the road! They would rather ride in "Ole Blue" than any other vehicle! Big Daddy and the boys have made so many memories in just the short 4 miles from our house to the school. The truck is part of the family!
This morning I got one of the best phone calls, it was momentous, it was record breaking.......The Blue Dog rolled over 250,000 miles and I was on the phone with Big Daddy when it happened! He called me just so I could experience it with him! Ole Blue lives on!

Awards Night

I can not believe that school is almost over! We have had a great year, we have had two of the best teachers I could have ever ask for, in fact Ms. Betty and Ms. Rowan are the entire reason we are at Faith Christian School. They love my boys so much and take such good care of them! C has excelled in all of his subjects, he loves reading, figuring how things work, and drawing things. MZ has learned to read!!! Yay!! He is enjoys math but likes gym time the best! These are great boys and have had awesome teachers to help lead them in the right way.

The boys had their Awards Night last Thursday. They were very excited to get recognized for all their hard work. MZ was also excited to "graduate" Kindergarten! He has talked about graduating for 2 years now! He got a tassel for a hat that he did not wear, and several awards for good grades. C also got several awards for good grades. They both are very smart....but when there aren't many people in your class then you are for sure going to get a lot of awards! It helps boost their self-esteem!

MZ after he got his rewards.....trying not to act like he's not excited.

Ms. Betty giving out the awards, MZ went in to class the next day and gave her the thumbs up and told her she did a good job speaking in front of everyone! She loved it!

Most of Ms. Betty's class, MZ's nickname at school is "Little Man"!

The 2nd and 3rd grade class, Clayton trying to look "unsuspecting." haha

Group Hug with Ms. Rowan after they got the rewards.

Very proud of himself and I am very proud of him too!

Ms. Betty and the boys, she has taught both of them, so she has been in our family for 4 years now! We love her!!!

Mr. Rowan and the boys. We have so much fun with "Ole Peg Leg" as Big Daddy calls her! She's awesome and we love her too!
