end of year AWESOMENESS!

Well, the end of the school year has come and gone and we are in the full swing of summer...YAY!!

I love having my kids home for the summer.

Except for maybe yesterday when they were fighting most of the day. Didn't love that so much.

But I was only called a mean mom once and only one of my children screamed that they wanted to go back to school, so I think we will survive.

Ahhhh...Summer! :)

I really do love it!

Anyway, here are a few pictures from the end of year celebrations.

First up, Grace's Kindergarten Celebration:

She was a nervous at first, but once she got going she was singing her little heart out.  So cute.  She had informed me beforehand that she would be the loudest girl singing, and she was definitely giving it her best shot! :) I am proud of Grace and all she has learned this year.  She is a great reader and loves to do math.  She's one of those crazy kids who likes doing their homework. Not sure where that trait came from, but we'll go with it!

And here is Grace with our favorite Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Ellis.  Both Joshua and Grace had her and we just think she is awesome!  She is having a baby and moving this summer so we will miss her!

Next up, Mr. Joshua and his 2nd grade awards assembly:

Joshua received an award for reading as well as a citizenship award. 

This kid is an awesome reader! He reads well beyond his grade level but the thing that gets me is his fluency and comprehension.  I'm pretty sure he can read faster and remember more than I can when I read!

I was also proud of him for getting the citizenship award.  His teacher and other staff at the school have often told me what a good kid he is and I love that!

WAY TO GO JOSHUA AND GRACE!!!!

HAPPY SUMMER!!!!
