Schools Out for Summer (okay this is a few weeks late, but still)

School has ended, and we reached some big milestones this year!

Ethan is officially in middle school!! AAAAHHHH!!!  I know, I know...I am just glad he doesn't realize that the next three years are going to be less than pleasant.  But barring the fact that he is about to enter some difficult years, he is turning into a really cool dude.  Harmony had a promotion ceremony for the 5th graders, and it was fun seeing him in his element.

Rhys had a fantastic 3rd grade year!!  He made so many friends, and loved his teacher.  It was a great way for him to transition to the new school.  He was voted "Biggest Bookworm," and, "Best Joke Teller" by his classmates!

Last but not least, Lucy had an excellent year in the Monkey Class!  I should have never worried so much about her.  She loved school, and had an amazing year with her teachers and new friends.  Next year she is going to attend 3 days a week, and will most likely be in the Bear Class (which is pretty apropos)!

Mom helped me make these aprons for our teachers!  Okay I confess, Mom made them! Thanks Mom!

 Everyone had a great year, and I cannot tell you how much we are already enjoying the summer vacation!  I love having them all home, and am looking forward to the next couple of months!  It is going to be a F-U-N summer!

Where's Lucy?

Rhys Wielding his Mad Math Skillzzzzzzz

A couple of weeks ago, Rhys attended the Math Pentathlon tournament.  Basically Rhys and his team have been practicing 5 different games that involve a lot of math and strategy.  Then at tournament you play the games against all of the other kids in the Austin area.  It is a lot of fun, but kind of intense!  Rhys did a great job, and won 3 out of 5 games.  He is already intent on practicing next year's games, because he wants to win a t-shirt! :)  We are really proud of him!

Easter!!

Already I am falling off the wagon!  But here are some Easter pictures....

You will notice the new do that Lucy is sporting!  We cut off her hair, and it was the best decision ever!  It is so easy to take care of, and, if I do say so myself, it looks super cute on her!

Time for Bluebonnet Pictures!

Taking pictures of your kids in the bluebonnets is such a "Texas Thang". I guess we do it because for 11 1/2 months of the year the Texas landscape looks less green and appealing...that is putting it nicely. So when all the wildflowers pop up and everything is so vibrant and lush, it is hard not to commit that beauty to memory with pictures. Those pictures can help us live out some pretty hot & dry months! :) Last year we had a very small smattering of bluebonnets because of drought, so it was such a gift to see Nature bring them out in full force this year. So like good Texans, we took our kids out and put them in the bluebonnets!
