Schools Out...YAY

The kids have really enjoyed their last week of school. I guess I would too if all we did was have fun. Field Day, Lagoon Day, Fun day of games and water fights, Yearbook Day. This was probably the best week of school for them…hehe. Thank you Legacy Prep Academy for an AWESOME school year. Kids have enjoyed their new school. Although they hate wearing uniforms, they really grew to love their new school and the new friends they’ve made. Thank you to all the teachers for working so hard to teach my children. Everyday they are talking about the exciting things they are learning in school. And even schooling mommy and daddy in it all.. It definitely has been a good school year and I’m looking forward to many more good years with Legacy. I love the involvement the parents have in school. I really do believe that when the parents are involved, the children will succeed. Thank you babies for such a good school year. We had our struggles with J-boi this year, but I am so proud of him for working hard and proving to us that he can do good. He really didn’t wanna have to sit out this football season or summer. Thank you son! Daisy has such an excitement for school and learning. I hope she keeps that FOREVER lol. Now on to summer we go… Hopefully I can find things to keep them busy.. Its times like this that I wish I didn’t have to work.. Love my kids!!!

How To Train a Dragon

A couple weeks ago I got a permission slip for DaisyGirl's class field trip. They would be going to Gateway mall to watch "How To Train a Dragon". They had been reading the book as a class and now were going to go watch the movie.  She was way excited and asked if I could take the day off to go. I felt really bad telling her No.  I knew it was too late to try and have someone cover on Friday.  I'm the only one there most of the day.  She understood mommy's dilema and said, 'its ok, next time'.My poor baby.  Anyhoo, today was the big field trip day.  She woke up extra early and was more excited than ever to be going to school.She's like, "Mom, did you know it only take 15 minutes for us to get to Gateway from our school".  It was the most amazing thing to her.  LOL.She said, the bus will pick us up at 9.  Arrive at gateway at 915.  Movie starts at 930.  The bus would be back to pick us up at 11.  We'd be back at school for lunch and then have math etc.  Ok, thank youfor the whole schedule baby..hahaha.  Today she got home and she goes,"the bus was late mom", so we had to cancel math for today.. HUH? Cancel math..I said you should have cancelled lunch..hahah.  She didn't think that was funny.  Anyhoo, overall she enjoyed her fieldtrip.  She loved the movie.  She didn't think it followed the book.  The bookwas about training the dragon.  The movie was about killing dragons.Her exact words..heheh.  A few of her friends cried.  She swears she didn't cry.  I believe her..she's not emotional like mommy. She enjoyed her fieldtrip.  I'm glad she had a good time. Next one will be the zoo before school ends.. Hopefully it isn't on a Friday so that I can go with her class.. Great trip for babygirl..I should have sent the camera with her...Oh well!!!

Band Concert

Someone once told me,

Learning to play an instrument

helps making learning in school

much easier...No lie.

So when it was time for my big boi

to pick electives for the school year,

I talked him into a music class

learning to play the trumpet..

I'm such a pushy mom..hehe

Being the good son that he is,

he gave in and signed up

and now he really enjoys it.
Thats the dork in him..hehe

I love that he can read music now

And tries to play everything with music notes
even from the Hymn book

I love listening to him try to play

The Spirit of God

Army of Helaman

and soooo forth

Its such a joy to watch him play

and love it

Tonite we attended his school band concert

I was dreading it..lol

but after hearing them play

i could not stop smiling

i was amazed at their progression

I felt sooo proud
When I figure it out,
I'll add a video..

Meet Mr Crane Fly

Meet my babygirl and her science project the "Crane Fly".
For several weeks she had to do research on her insect. 
We visited the library and checked out several insect books.  However, none of them had anything on Mr Crane..haha  Guess we should have checked it before we took them home.
Of course, good ol' Mr Internet would have all the info she would need. 
Printed out info galore on her insect and had learn and study her insect.
She put together her report (on the back of her board)
With the help of daddy created Mr Crane with clay.
Labeled each body part.
Turned project in and also had to present her project to her class.
I'm sooo proud of her.  She was really excited for her project and got good remarks and feedback from her teacher.
She loved doing this project.  And was amazed at all her friends projects.  Some students made their insect from a cake, cupcake, marshmallows, foam etc.. Creative young minds.

School's Out...

If you ask my kids if they are excited school is out, they tell ya NO. They loved attending schoold each day. Well give a few times for my princess who loves her sleep..haha. So nice their excitement for school. I hope it continues for the rest of their school lives.

My big boi J*Rock has completed his elementary school days. Yesterday (6/8/09) was his promotion from North Star Elementary. It was a wonderful program and it was exciting to see the big smile on his and his classmates faces as they received their certificate of acheivement. This year was the first they decided to throw a dinner/dance for the 6th graders. He had a good time and said they had a dance competition between the boys and girls. And of course the boys won. Yeah right!! LOL. So now on to his next step in life..Jr High School. Here are just some of the things he will miss about elementary:

• His friends he's made..as he'll be attending school outside the district.


• Recess


• All of his favorite teachers


• Playing bball against the teachers


• His PE class

The Princess of the family just finished up her 1st grade year. She has been an excellent student and has learned alot this year. She enjoyed her teacher and friends she has made this year. She too will be attending a new school next year and will miss the friends she has made. Hopefully this school will be the one as she has had a new school every school year. Here are some of her favorites from this year:

• She loved spelling time


• Playing on the playground


• Art and coloring


• Birthdays are fun cause of treats


• Math

My kids have had a good school year. I thank all the teachers and staff that have helped in teaching my kids. Much appreciated. Now on to the summer fun.....YAY!!!!!
