Last Week of School

The last week of school was great. The kids had fun activities every day. On Tuesday Jed got an award for having outstanding handwritting. Way to go Jed! On Wednesday he recieved several awards in his classroom. He got awards in spelling, math, writing, reading, and an athletic award. He took 3rd place in running and even got a white ribbon. We're glad that he takes after his dad in speed and not his mom! :) We are so proud of him!

On Thursday the whole school went swimming. They walked from Midland to the Roy Pool. It was so much fun. Too bad I had to work because I'm sure that 600 kids walking 3 blocks with a police escort would have been something to see. Kimi said it was awesome!

Friday was the last day of school. Jed had fun signing yearbooks and spending one more day as a first grader. He's excited for summer and looking forward to the 2nd grade!

Kate had a great last week of school too. On Wednesday her class performed for their parents. She did such a good job! They sang a whole bunch of songs and Kate knew every one. She also had a speaking part and she did a terrific job on that too. Way to go Katie! :)

On Thursday Kate was able to go swimming with the school. Kindergarten didn't get to walk with the school, but still got to go swimming. She was way excited to get to go and had a great time.

The last day of school was fun for Kate too. She got a pillow case with her class picture on it and the whole class signed it. She also got a CD with the songs she learned this year. She loves it and has listened to it at least 50 times already. She loves music and makes sure we all get to enjoy it with her. :) Kate had fun in Kindergarten this year. She loved her teacher Mrs. Winter. She also made a lot of new friends. She is going to do great in first grade next year!

We had a great school year and everyone is EXCITED FOR SUMMER!!!!! Happy summer everyone! :)

P.S. I'd like to thank Kelly Burnett for jumping into Kate's picture with Mrs. Winter. It wouldn't be the same without her! :) jk

New Hoop!

We just got a hoop in our driveway. It is so much fun! The kids love it! We've been having a great time touching up our b-ball skills. Jed is doing awesome. He's hitting 10 footers like there's no problem. Kate loves her pink ball, but will only shoot when the basket is all the way down. Blake loves anything outside and anything to do with sports. He has a ball just his size and Dad even brought out the hoop from his room so he can reach it. What fun!
