The Boys Are Done!

After a year of bumps on the head, vomiting in class on the desk, being pushed off playground equipment and breaking an arm, letters home about head lice (dodged that bullet), and, seriously, the sickness that would never leave our house...we are done!  But before we could get away from our lovely elementary school we had to have end of the year celebrations.  So we celebrated and sang and had a ball until the very end.

Here's Preston with his class during their 1st grade performance.



And here he is showing me his desk in class.  He was very fortunate to sit next to his best friend Markus(not pictured).

It took Bryce a bit to notice where I was during his performance but when he did,  that boy wouldn't stop waving.  And he wants me to let everyone know that his friend Julian is in a costume (the dog) and nobody should make fun of him.  You've been warned.


Bryce loved his teacher Ms. M.  He is very sad that she's not following him to first grade but he's come to accept that he's just getting too big for her.


Congratulations on a successful and interesting year in school my two handsome boys!

32


Erik turned 32 this year.  It's amazing how that number just keeps rising.  Funny how that works.  We spent the day getting free food for lunch,  getting free food for dinner (score!), hanging out with family and friends, and spoiling this man that we love.  And also eating a super easy way-to-much-chocolate-it-can't-even-remotely-be-good-for-you chocolate cake...with chocolate glaze.  The strawberries made it healthy and that's what we all keep telling ourselves.

   
 Happy Birthday Erik!
