Lots To Be Proud Of

We celebrated a lot of milestones in our family over the past few weeks....I now, officially, have a seventh grader (I can't believe I'm even typing the words!!), a fifth grader, a first grader and a preschooler living in my house! Here are all the pictures of the past month of the chillins celebrating the end of another school year.

This is Ethan graduating from preschool. He is excited to be going back again next year. He learned a lot, his teacher was great and he had a lot of fun. We are excited that he gets to go with a lot of his friends next year.

Braiden graduated from Kindergarten, though this year they downplayed it and called it a "Kindergarten Celebration". No hat or diploma. Bummer! But the program was darling and we did get cookies, so it's all good. He is so excited to be a big first grader now, but we will miss his fabulous teacher, Mrs. Hafen!




Lauren's fourth grade program was very cute, although I didn't get the best pictures. It was all about Utah and it's history. We loved her teacher, Mrs. James as well!



Finally, my sixth grader has moved on from the world of recess and one teacher to the world of A/B days and 8 teachers to go along with it (not to mention a lot more homework). She is so excited to grow up! Her sixth grade program was really cute, too. She got to sing the only solo! She has no fear when it comes to performing and she did a great job! She also graduated from the DARE program (anti-drug program) and her essay was one of four picked out of the entire sixth grade to be read at the ceremony! I was very proud of both of her performances! As with all of my kids, she was very blessed in the teacher department. She had wonderful Mrs. Speckman two years in a row (she requested to have Katie in her class when she found out she was moving to sixth grade. If she moves back down to fifth, I'm hoping Lauren gets her.

I'm so proud of all of my chillins!!! Now, it's on to summer!!
