School's Out!

We are so proud of all of our children. Sam made it through the year only to end up with strep and mono. The last four weeks of school were spent at home and taking finals as she could! She is feeling better, slowly, but surely! Carly finished up with honor roll and field day that ended on a sad note. One of her friends is moving to Montana, and some others are moving up to High School, so she is excited for them, but they will be missed.
Cj finished up with honor roll (amazingly) and received a silver medal at the awards banquet yesterday morning. He also got two classroom awards from his teacher. One was "Most Creative" and the other was "Funniest".
A few pics from his ceremony....

Me and my friend Amy. Cj missed getting in her 2nd grade class but the good news is she's moving up next year! Fingers crossed, Cj will get her next year for 3rd grade. She's an amazing teacher and she's from TN! So she talks like me! What a blessing! :)

My son, Lane, had Mrs.Kirby in the second grade! She is an amazing teacher, and she is really a sweet person too! He absolutely LOVED being in her class.

In fact, on the last day of school when 2nd grade was ending... he got off the bus and came in the house. When I opened the door to let him in and hug him ... I noticed he was CRYING!! He said he was so sad to be leaving Mrs.Kirby. My heart was sad for him.

Their room mom that year made an end of the year gift for all of the kids. It was a cd/dvd slideshow with lots and lots of pictures of all of their classmates and Mrs.Kirby doing their class activities, parties, etc.! He loved it, and must have watched it every day that summer. In fact, he STILL watches it from time to time.

This year he would say that he saw here sometimes and he was always happy about that! She has a gift for teaching children, and we were blessed to have had her :-)
