Schools Out and Summer is Here

The last two weeks have been very busy. Filled with so much that needed to be done and enjoyed. The last day of school was May 22nd. Rylee will officially move to second grade next year. Her teacher will be Mrs. McBride. This was the only teacher she knew about. She was so excited to hear that she would be her teacher. Her report card had all high marks with glowing praises from her teacher. She also received her certificate for 100% attendance. We are so proud of her this year and how she has excelled.

Also, on May 22nd was Reganne's teacher Ms. Shanna's last day. She is moving to SLC so her husband can start law school. She had planned a going away party so the kids would understand when she said goodbye. It didn't stop the tears from her, the kids, or the parents.

Lucky for us it was a holiday weekend. We spent our Memorial Weekend with Randy & Janelle helping them with their new yard. It rained, rained, and even more rain. They were able to get the basics done. Randy is a good study and now has it under control.

Summer camp started Tuesday. Rylee was so excited to go and be with her friends. She thought it was great to see old friends and hopes to make a few new friends this summer. Reganne is so happy that she is there and looks forward each day to playing with her.


With so much activity it was not surprising that I walked in and found the kids like this. Rylee was so proud of herself that she put Ryder to sleep. She promptly asked when she could babysit and be the boss. My reply is she still has a couple of years. Ok, she said. I like telling them what to do. I am not sure if the others like it as well.

Along with summer fun comes summer heat....I need to do better and remember my camera.

Wow -- school gets out early there. For us school ends June 17 (it's a year round school). I have mixed feelings about it as I'm ready for school work to be finished but I'm not sure about them being home all day long.
