A Busy May

May has now become the new December. We have been so busy! Below are a few highlights of our month.

Here she's sitting with her pals from her team.


This picture was taken at Reagan's end of season soccer party. The girls in the picture have been the core group who have played together for the last five seasons. Behind them are the coaches. Reagan received a plaque for "Best Defensive Player" for the season.


Fourth grade awards day...Reagan ended up with some fantastic awards including all A Honor Roll for the year, Accelerated Reader met goal all four nine weeks, and a writing award.


Reagan had a wonderful school year with her surrogate grandma, Randi. She ended up crying on the way home from school the last day. She said she didn't want fourth grade to end.


Sophie had her awards day on the same day as well. She is pictured here with her second grade teacher, Mrs. Scheu.

Mimi came to show her support of the girls, of course! Grandma also came to support the girls.


I'm a VERY proud momma!


Sophie had an amazing awards day as well. She came away with many awards including all A Honor Roll for the entire year, Accelerated Reader awards, and an award that I am especially proud of. She made the greatest gains of all the students in her class on the STAR reading test. She began the year at a 2nd grade reading level and finished at a 6th grade reading level.


The 2nd grade awards ceremony began with all classes singing the school song which is to the tune of "You're a Grand Old Flag". Sophie made a recording of the song with Ms. Julia, her piano teacher, and it was played on the sound system for the children to sing along to. What an honor!


Memorial Day weekend Reagan joined a rival soccer team for the Rec Riot Tournament. The Cowgirls had an amazing weekend ending up in the championship game on Sunday. Unfortunately, they weren't able to pull it out, but it was great fun watching them slosh through the mud and muck.

Finally, pictures from Memorial Day...The Kings joined us for a lunch time cookout. Here are pictures of their cutie pies and ours.
