End of the school year...

This morning was the Awards Assembly for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders at our elementary school. We were given a note last week letting us know that our 3rd grader was going to be given an award. Way to go, kiddo!

He came home with four awards ~

We are so proud of all the amazing things he has accomplished this year!

After lunch the third graders celebrated the end of the year with a delicious looking dessert buffet. We made two large trays of his favorite chocolate mint brownies and they were gone when we left! Yummy ~

Later, the Kindergartners celebrated the end of the year with an Ice cream social. We love, love, love our Kindergartner teacher. She is such a special lady and does such a great job with the little kids.

We couldn't leave without watching her do all of the fun tricks that she has learned this year on the playground.

I am worn out... Is it summer yet?

School Fun Day ~

I spent the morning watching these cute Kindergartners playing outside. It is actually the first time I have been to the school for Fun Day/Field Day and I am so glad I made it. The kids had so much fun with their friends and it was a beautiful day to just sit and watch. Go Blue!!

After driving home for a quick bite for lunch, I headed back to the school to spend a little of my afternoon watching the Third Graders... they are old pro's at Field Day and know how to play the games, so there was much less explaining and much more playing. Way to go, Red!

The little guy was so good, I had to reward him with time on the playground! What a beautiful day - Rain is expected the rest of the week!

Anniversary Gift ~

Although my previous post would indicate that our Anniversary was lame, we did do something special for each other and bought a new piece of art for our home ((which is something we rarely do)! We've seen this picture a lot recently in our monthly Deseret Book brochures, but it wasn't until Costco in Utah was having huge sale (with personalization & shipping) from www.culturalhall.com that we decided to go out on a limb and get it! Thanks Carrie and Mike for helping us get it ordered. (Either the picture is crooked on our wall, or I wasn't holding the camera straight...)
