We've made it through another school year!

So now that we are 3 weeks into summer, I thought I should finally post some pictures of our end of the school year activities.

We had so much fun this year at Kids Village! It was so fun to be there with Kassidy. She made such great friends in her class. Despite the fact that she starts public school kindergarten this next year, she did so well in the Kindergarten class at Kids Village, way beyond my expectations! Miss Cheri, her morning teacher really helped her reach her potential and appreciated her hard work and social personality. She had so much fun with Miss Alycesun, her afternoon teacher, and felt so loved and always felt like it was a party with her.


The last week of school Kassidy had her dance recital. She is definitely my beautiful ballerina. She did a cute little tap number and the highlight of the night was being a mermaid for the production of Peter Pan. She loved the three hour long practices and said they were "Awesome mom!" She had such a great year this year, the studio has asked her to be on the performing team next year.


Kira had a great 4th grade year. Her teacher, Miss Bybee, was so much fun but still was able to lay down the law and have structure in her class when needed. Kira had some great friends in her class. She performed with the choir at the final music assembly. It was so fun for her to be in the choir. She is definitly my musical performer. For the dance festival, she taped into her inner zombie to dance to "Thriller". She loved tearing up and destroying an old dressup for her costume. The highlights of her year were definitly being in the school choir, the pioneer field trip to the park for fun pioneer activities, RADS class, writing the best fantasy story in the whole class that everyone wanted a copy of, and the end of the year class play where she played the professional matchmaker.
Squire loved finally being in first grade. He made alot of new friends and was even admired by many of the girls. His teacher, Mrs Warnick, was great and really acknowledged his abilities and helped him succeed this year. He was our little athlete this year, always having a football in his hands and being very serious for the mile race at field day. For the dance festival he performed to a great song with a wonderful message "Take a stand!" You could tell he loved the song but would reather have been listening to it on his IPOD, rather than dancing to it, but he did great anyway!


The last week of school is always so busy! This year seemed especially crazy because in the past I have had the week off of work because I ended preschool early. This year I still had to work because Kids Village ends the same time as public school. I felt totally out of control and my kitchen showed it. But we had a lot of fun, some great memories, and the kids did great and really excelled, ALL STRAIGHT A's on the final reprt cards. Now let the summer begin!
