Bitter Sweet!

My kids are finished with this school year! It's gone by so fast and they all 4 have grown so much. (Not just physically!!!) Our last day was Friday, May 29th. The kids were all very excited but at the same time they have enjoyed their teachers so much. Madison kept saying for 4 days that she was going to stay in the same class and wasn't going anywhere!!! She enjoyed Mrs. Brooks very much. Kenzie was hoping that Mrs. Ryan could teach her 1st grade. When Madison reminded her that she'd get to go to Mrs. Brooks class, she wasn't as worried about leaving kindergarten.
Yes, Austin has a mohawk for the last day of school. He came in Friday morning and asked if I could help him with his hair. I was very confused because he's done his own hair all year long. Why would I need to help him on the last day of the year. Then he told me that he and Grant wanted to do their hair all crazy for the last day. It must be a 5th grade thing.

After getting the kids off to school, I hurried to get to school before 9 am so that I could be to Kenzie's graduation. She was so cute the whole time. She kept pulling funny faces at me and smiling after each song they sang. Mrs. Ryan asked the kids to wear something nice for their graduation and Kenz came in with some scroungy looking shorts and a shirt with spots all over it. The night before she told me that she wanted to wear a skirt to school. I asked if she wanted help finding a skirt and it became a little bit of a hassle. We finally found something that worked and she looked very cute.
They all got caps and got to decorate the top of them! They also got candy bracelets and Kenz ended up eating one of them during the graduation!

SHE PASSED!!! She's officially all day long school now. It will seem weird. I could have been all the way done if Mayci wouldn't have come along. What would I do with all that free time though?

Mrs. Ryan and Kenzie! We made a quilt for Mrs. Ryan and gave it to her. We had all of the other kids in the AM class put their hand prints on the quilt with their names. I think she liked it. She is a BSU fan so of course we had to use the appropriate colors.

These two are too much alike! Madison and Mrs. Brooks are both so bubbly and fun loving. I'm glad that we get another year with Mrs. Brooks.

Braydon loved Ms. Cunningham soooooooooo much! We're crossing our fingers that she moves up to 4th grade next year so that Braydon can have her for 2 years in a row. There is talk that Ms. Cunningham will move up to take another teacher's spot! I hope so!!!

Mrs. Fonnesbeck was so perfect for Austin. She would sing songs and act silly! Austin said she was a lot like his Grandma Brower! I can't believe that Austin is going to be in 6th grade!

This was at the end of their day. The library gave all of the students kazoos to kick off their summer reading program. We took the kids out of school early so that we could leave and head for Utah. My little brother graduated from high school and so we hurried down to see him graduate. More pictures to come later. Now, we just need to keep my 5 kiddos busy for the summer so they don't get too bored! I'm sure it won't be to hard to find something for my kids to do. (I've been adding to my to-do-list for a month or so now!! That's why you have kids, right?)

HAPPY SUMMER EVERYONE!!!!
