End of the School Year Wrap Up

 Here's a quick summation of all those end of school year events...


First and foremost, Joseph auditioned for and made Vocal Ensemble!!   Hooray!  we are so thrilled for him...  
Counting our blessings....  The pictures show when he is kidnapped and taken away to the V.E. initiation breakfast.  Yahoo!  



Blind-folded and whisked away..




Jonathan won an academic award...  Hooray for Jon!  


If I could give out awards as his mom I would .  Jonathan has had an awesome awesome year.  We are so proud of him.   He has excelled in every way.  He pulled a 3.9 GPA, excelled in football, created great friendships, has a raging social life, had done very well in school, has loved seminary and just had been a wonderful wonderful Son...who is growing up.  It is a thrill to watch him.  He has just wonderful friends who support him in his goals and they are all headed in the right direction together.  We really feel blessed.  



Michael was awarded his Tenderfoot award in Scouts.  Can you see it?  Can you see that teenager in him just wanting to come out?  He finished up 6th grade and now prepares to go to Middle School.   The last couple of months have been big in his life.  He turned 12, joined Young Men's, officially joined the Boy Scouts of America, and was ordained to the Aaronic Priesthood.  Whoa.   And to boot, he is pretty dang handsome.  



Michael finished up his year with almost all A's.  He has done so well.  Wow.  


My heart ached that last day I dropped him off at Elementary School.   ....   Ouch. 


We are proud of you Michael!  And we love you. 


Jacob performed in his play.  He was  almost the star of the show.  I know I am biased but he was truly funny and really played up his part.  


 He was the butler...you must say it like this... the "butlah."  He spoke in a very proper English accent.  And acted very serious in the face of hilarity.....






....and only broke out of character once to give me a quick smile... which I happened to catch somehow..  


This really was such a cute funny play.  I loved it.  





Good Job Kids!!  


Jacob also performed in his piano recital and played his pieces flawlessly!  (Where is that picture?!) 


Jacob finished up his year with a great report card!


Jacob is enjoying gymnastics!  He is a natural.  With Jacob I don't know which thing to focus on.  He is so good at everything.  


Too weird to think that Jacob will be our only elementary school student next year.  Surreal.
