LJ's Awards Assembly and Last days of Kindergarten

The second to last day of Kindergarten, LJ had an Awards Assembly in the morning, which was immediately followed by his end-of-year party. 

LJ got an award for being a Remarkable Reader! I have to- I agree!! I think he is reading about where I was in 3rd grade!! Way to go buddy!! 
His teacher, Mrs. Stroh announced his award while the principal, Mrs. Varljen, handed it to him. 
So proud of my little man on that big stage!! 


Then on to the class party! We had four stations set up including chalk page coloring, a bingo station, a bucket decorating station, and a sock coloring station.  I also put together a 30 minute photo montage from all the pictures I had taken all year for the kids and parents to enjoy while the party was going on... What a year!! 
Every kid got a bucket to decorate and take home!

Bingo!
Sock decorating ... LJ!!
We ended the party by putting on new socks and having a dance party! They were so cute!!!

Dancing all the sugar out!!

We gave a little flower/windmill to all the support staff and specials teachers. LJ helped me deliver them.  

Last day of kindergarten for LJ!! What a year!! I will miss this class!

I volunteered at the school for a few hours to help the teachers pack up their rooms for the summer. When I arrived, ALL ten kinder classes were in each others room (the whole kinder wing was blocked off) so they could sign each other's year books. It was so cute!! 

PJ day!!



LJ was so excited that he got to be the line leader on the last day of school!!
Last lunch! 
Such a cute and fun group! Their last afternoon consisted of a movie and popcorn wearing their pjs! 

We loved Mrs. Stroh so much and are so thankful for such a great teacher! She was perfect for LJ, and he loved her (and learned so much!).
Here is a sweet card he made her to go along with her gift! 
I did not guide or help LJ at all with his card!

After LJ came home from his last day, we headed to an end-of-year party at Mina's house! Yay! 
Evan and Ellie had been at camp, but they got to join for the party too!
Lots of games to play!

Cookie cake to celebrate!



Friends because of kindergarten!!! So grateful for these mamas!!


We had such a fun afternoon!!!

I can't believe it's over!! What a great year of fun, memories, learning, and growing!

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress... Ellie's first little mini-crawls: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xm3GTgjZXbU And she has mastered the roll-to-sit move!

Mother's Day Celebrations

What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
