End of School Year Festivities

Things got a little crazy towards the end of the school year with all of the festivities that are planned. It's a busy time of year, but a lot of fun!

Jake was chosen to be one of the clowns in his school's assembly. He had to ride around in a circle on his tricycle and then switch directions when the 'ringmaster' told him to.

He did such a great job! Pedaling a tricycle is one of the many goals that Jake achieved this year!

The last few days of school for Nathan were dress up days. I'd have to say his favorite was "Wacky Day!" I think he wore his shirt backwards the entire day- funny kid!

The second to last day of school for Jake was Field Day. He got to go around to several different stations and play games and activities. I volunteered so that I could be there with him. It was fun to watch him get so excited about everything. This was him running underneath the giant parachute.

Here he is racing his friend in a sack race.

He was pretty excited about the spider he had painted on his face!

The last day of school for Nathan was a picnic in the park. Here he is with his teacher, Ms. Cari. She has so much energy and is a lot of fun- Nathan really likes her.

I had to post this picture because it's so cute! I love the drool! Poor Max got drug around to everyone's activities, but he was a good sport.

Jake was so excited for his Open House so that he could show us all around his classroom. He went from thing to thing teaching us how things work and showing us his art projects.

Here he is with his teacher, Ms. Kruse. Jake is going to repeat Kindergarten again next year and we are so grateful that he gets to have Ms. Kruse for another year. She is awesome!

Jake loved showing Nathan how the listening center worked.

Jon and I took a 10 week parenting class towards the end of the school year. While we were in class the boys attended a class of their own where they learned social skills. Here they are the last day graduating from their class. Can't you tell by the picture how much their behavior has improved?!!!

Carli graduated from high school this year. This was definitely the biggest day of her life up until now. She was so excited to have us all there cheering her on as they called her name. Carli kept raising the roof with her hands as she walked back to her seat!

The nieces were all trying to catch the cap to see which one of them will graduate next!

The first day of Summer we invited all of the cousins over to our house to play on our waterslide. They played on it for about 3 hours straight. I seriously love this thing- it is going to be my saving grace this summer!

Here are all of the boy cousins that were all born last year. I'm just grateful that Rob and Bethany's son, Scotty is big so that Max isn't the only chunk! They are sitting in order from oldest to youngest (Max being the oldest).

So Jake got one day off of school and then Monday morning he headed off to Summer School! He is riding the bus just for the summer and he seems to be enjoying it.

Jake also had a singing concert that the Kindergartners put on, but those pictures are on our laptop that is broken. I 'll have to post them when I find them. Jake did such a good job at the concert. I was worried he was going to stand there with his deer in a headlight look, but instead he sang and did all of the actions to all of the songs! I was so proud of him!

We made it through the school year and now we are ready for Summer! Bring on the fun!!!
