Last Day of School!

School is out!  Over!  For the entire summer!  Ashlyn came out of eighth grade to think high school from now on!  She had a WONDERFUL eighth grade missions trip and really loves to be on the volleyball team!  Summer looks fun to her and we tried/asked at so many local small businesses for a job for her this summer because her mom knows she needs a job to keep her hands busy but nothing turned up just yet!  I guess it will be her mom's job to keep her busy around the house.  Austin completed fourth grade and really had just a great year!  He loved his teacher and improved on reading and math ... two subjects that every kid should thrive in!  He can't wait to play fast pitch tennis with his cousins in the back yard this summer and go to the pool and play in ball tournaments and hit one hundred balls a day!  Keeping these busy will be a challenge, I know that but we are going to have a fun time together!  Thank you so much teachers for giving our children a wonderful education and such a great school term!

 The last day of school had a theme of "a place you like to vacation or Hawaii".  

One last time to ride the bus to school in the morning for this school term.

We have a huge list of teachers to thanks and appreciate each year.  Ashlyn finished up middle school and has numerous teachers with all her classes so I told her to just pick a few that we could bless.  Mrs. Lankford is one of her favorite and just by looking at her smile you can see why!  She's fun and Ashlyn really loved her classes!  Thank you!

Austin also has more than one teacher and we blessed his three main teachers with flower planters and then handed out homemade lemonade jars to all the rest!  I hope everyone feels appreciated!!!!  Mrs. Stoltzfus and Mrs. McCarter and Mrs. Kane really had a positive impact on Austin this year!  Thank you!

We celebrated the completed school term with bubba teas!

"I'm excited to hang out with Gunnar!"  Too cute!

Honor Roll .... great job!

Ashlyn was so giddy when Mike took her out to eat and buy a phone.  It's what we did for our two oldest after finishing up eighth grade and it's what Ashlyn could not wait for!!!!!  We have lots of talks about phones and now with her own, it brings responsibility!  

Cheers to summer vacation and no school days!
