Summer is finally here, and school is out for 2 months, and some change. =) Kids are so excited. No early wake-ups. No homework. Just fun, fun, fun. Lots of Swimming, playing, staying up late, sightseeing, and whatever else they want to do. Mason has finished all 4 quarters, Honor Roll twice, and Principle's List twice! He is moving on up and is now going to be in FIFTH GRADE!! We couldn't be more proud of this lil guy. He has become such a little man this year. He has played a sport each term: soccer, basketball, and finishing up with baseball. He was so proud of he baseball team, The Redsox, (go figure). The team came in third place, and they took home a trophy and medals. He is looking forward to playing again. So are we. It's such a joy to watch your child excel in sports, and sit back and "dream" about how much money he is going to make you... Hehe. I'm thinking MLB, NFL... $$$$$
Madison is on to the THIRD grade. She has had such a wonderful year in the second grade. Going from first grade fun, to lots of homework, a few projects, and a lot of frustration (she hates doing her homework), she has overcome the second grade with all passing scores. They still aren't doing letter grades in second grade, I believe they start with grades next year? I tell her she's got all A's in my book! She has blossomed this year too. I sent my little 'hermit crab' to school and got back a Shark! Her reading level is top of the class, and she is so artistic and so 'hands-on". We see so much potential here for a writer or artist. Its funny because the two kids are so opposite. Mason is all about sports, and Maddie is all about books. =) How did that happen?
Well, Makayla has done it! She has graduated high school and is on to becoming an adult! Makayla is either following in Tim's footsteps and going into the military, or she still may choose college. We aren't sure yet, neither is she. But no matter what Mak does, she will succeed and accomplish whatever she puts her mind too. This was a hard year for her, buckling down and getting things done, but she has survived and got that diploma! WE TOLD YOU THAT YOU COULD DO IT MAK!!!! WE ARE SO PROUD~
Other than this, Tim and I are good. We are so proud of all three kids and are so truly blessed for what God had given us as a family! We couldn't ask for more. Hope everyone is well and getting ready to enjoy the summer. REMEMBER~wear sunblock this summer. .. Stay hydrated! And Smile, it takes too much wasted time to frown and complain about things. =) Happy Summer everyone <3
