Friday May 29th

Friday was a very eventful day but definitely a fun one. We hit the temple for a session before the craziness of the day began. Afterward we headed over to Ellie's school for her Pre-School Graduation. She was so excited all morning long and it was so fun to see their class all dressed up in their matching shirts. I can't believe this day is already here. Ellie was our baby for so long it is crazy to see her getting so big.Walking In

Getting All Lined Up

Ellie and Ms. Heidi

It was a very cute little program. They sang all of the songs that they have been singing at school everyday. The always do the Pledge of Allegiance and then sing God Bless America followed by the books of the New Testament (advantage of sending your kid to Christian preschool), the days of the week, the months of the year and a couple of other cute songs. Then their teacher Ms. Heidi gave them their diplomas. I cried a little and then I cried a little more when I looked at her report card. Her teacher said what a sweet girl she was and that she is always kind and respectful and is definitely ready for Kindergarten. What else could you ask for? Congratulations little Miss Ellie. You are getting so BiG!

OuR LitTlE GrAdUtE

After graduation it was off to Costco again for more milk and then a quick stop at the office to check the progress of everything. Its looking pretty good.

Its then time for Bailey's presentation on the Dusky Dolphin. All the 2nd grade classes were assigned an animal habitat, Bailey's class got the ocean. Then each student had to pick an animal to research. Bailey chose the Dusky Dolphin. They had to do research in books and on the internet and then type up a report and make a poster or diaraham. Bailey chose a poster, she picked all of the pictures that she wanted and helped me type up the facts. They had to know a lot of information about the animal and then present it to others for a couple of days. They presented to other classes and then on Friday they presented it to the parents. She did a really good job and knew all of the facts really well. It was fun to see what the kids had learned. It was a fun project for her.

After the presentations Bailey's teacher sent us home with some of her work from the year. It was fun to look through everything and see her progress and the fun projects they had been working on throughout the year. I really like her teacher. It was her first year but I think she did a great job and really cared about these kids. Bailey is going to really miss her. Then the kids gave all of the moms who volunteered in the classroom this year a flower pot they had decorated with cute flowers in it. I love being in the classroom and am happy that I get to do this.


We headed home for a couple hours and then headed out to Bailey's end of the year soccer party. They always do it at a pizza buffet place which the kids absolutely love. The dessert pizza is their favorite. I have really appreciated the effort of her coaches this year and they have decided to return in the fall. Bailey didn't even hesitate when we asked her if she wanted to play, they will get new uniforms to I don't know if they will keep the same name, but until then.... GO TIGERS!
The kids spent the rest of the evening playing outside, their very favorite thing to do this time of year. We are on the edge of the mountian time zone so this time of year it stays light until almost ten o'clock.....summer really is just around the corner.
