End of School Year and Beginning of Summer

I can't believe we've already flown through the end of the school year and are into the second week of summer!

Just to recap a little from the last weeks of school and end of year activities . . .

Ethan finished up 3rd grade in Mrs. Moroz's class and did a wonderful job!  He received many awards for his hard work all year at the end of year awards ceremony.  He even received a medal with his name on it for receiving all A's for all years at BSES K5-3rd Grade.  We are so proud!  Caleb finished up 1st grade in Mrs. Satterfield's class and did a wonderful job!  He received many awards for his hard work all year at the end of year awards ceremony.  Caleb received all A's all year except for one "B" that was 1 point away from an "A."  As long as our boys do their very best, we are happy, and both of them did!  We are so proud of both of our boys' accomplishments this year.  It's still so amazing to me all the things they are learning this young, and how they already have to study so much and learn such hard skills to be able to keep up their grades.  We were blessed once again with great teachers this year for both.  I have been so happy so far with all of their teachers, and hope we will continue to be blessed with top caliber teachers for our children.

The end of year was also filled with fun times, such as field day - always a highlight of course!

The first week of summer brought a visit from my sisters and the kids' cousins.  They were able to come down for the week so that two of my nieces could participate in swimming lessons with Caleb (his 5th year taking) and Alaina (her 1st year taking).

Ethan was able to attend a basketball camp at the high school here, and really enjoyed it a lot.  (I finally let Ethan graduate from swimming lessons after 5 years! :-)  Who knows, maybe Ethan will continue loving basketball and play for the high school team.  He certainly seems to have talent, skill, and love of the game!  It's great to see him growing into a confident young man.

Although the week went by WAY too fast, I still enjoyed the time with my sisters.  We got to spend 4 days together, and it just made me wish we could live near each other even more.  Maybe some day!

Even though there was a lot of rain this week, the cousins still managed to fit in a lot of water play and fun together!

Now, we head into the second and final week of swim lessons, and are getting ready for our family vacation to the beach the week after that!  I really need a relaxing vacation.  Can't wait!

Until my next moment to blog!
