END OF THE YEAR

YEAH Summer is here!

Both Nathan and Joshua had a great year! Nathan finished 6th grade with a bang! He was one of 16 students to get straight A's the whole year! Way to go Nate. We are so proud of him. They had an awards assembly Sunday afternoon to honor all the great students. He is trying to be strong about moving, but I think he is really going to miss his friends!

Joshua had an awards assembly also. He made the A/B Honor Roll, got an award for Perfect Attendance, and also got the "Terrific Kid" award from his teacher Miss Bailey. We sure are proud of this kid! He has done great this year and will really miss his teacher. He is extra sad, because she is moving up to 4th grade next year and gets to keep all of the kids with her. She has been an excellent teacher for him.

Piano Recital

Nathan and Joshua had a piano recital last week. They both take from Kathy Norris. Nathan has taken for 3 years and Joshua for 1 year. This was their last recital with Ms. Norris and she was a little emotional when giving Nathan his awards. She has taught him everything he knows about music, and he was excelled with her. I can only hope we find as good of teacher in Alaska. We will miss her!

I posted these for Grandma's and Grandpa's, so enjoy!

Joshua played "The Weeping Willow" by Faber

Nathan played "Canario" by Von der Hofe

Disney World

Disney World with NO KIDS....a must do!

My Dad had a convention in Orlando, and so my Mom invited me along so she would have someone to hang out with. We stayed at the Dolphin resort. It was so nice to be so close to the parks and come and go as we pleased. I found myself wishing my kids were with me...but my Dad is as big a kid as they are. We had a great time, eating, playing, walking, sleeping, and shopping! It was a nice vacation!

FIELD DAY

Joshua had Field Day at school. It was HOT, but he still had fun....as you can see a little too much fun. I asked him why he had chocolate all over his face (he was eating a chocolate ice cream sandwich). He told me it was because it hurt his front teeth to bite into the icecream....guess that is a problem for the dentist in the family!

FYI: We really do have another son, named Nathan, but 6th grade just doesn't do anything fun, and blog worthy!
