Lindsey's 5th grade graduation- and end of school year parties!

Lindsey graduated from elementary school today! WoW! I have to say, that yesterday being the last day of school was sort of sad for me... Even though I cannot wait for the kids to be home full time, I just can't believe how my babies are all growing up. Lindsey going to Jr. High is a KILLER, and then Matt will be a SENIOR, Kate in her last year of Elementary and Ellie in FIRST grade! BOO HOO!!

Here are some phtos of Lindsey's graduation. We were proud of her for acheiving the "Presidential Award" for having over a 3.5 GPA for 4th and 5th grade and for scoring well on her CRTs. She also had a wonderful class this year and made some great new friends... it was her best year ever and she is so sad to leave. She LOVED her teacher Ms. Wright SOOoooo much! She was wonderful. We are so excited that Katie gets her next year!!








The girls decided at the last minute to have a little party for the last day of school and it turned out to be lots of fun...


Here are the girls on their last day with all three of them at Sheila Tarr, this is the last time all three of them will be in the same school!!

As soon as the girls party was over, Matt called and asked if his friends could come over.... they polished the cookies and candy, had a cage match on the tramp, and then told some hilarious "Chuck Norris" jokes that had me laughing hysterically!

Les - you are the best mom ever. I hope I can throw impromptu parties like that when my kids are older. Is that a picture of Lindsey with her teacher? I am glad that Katie will get a good teacher next year!! Congrats on completing another year everyone.

What a great mom you are. It's always a good sign, when your teenagers actually 'want' to hang out at your house. Way to go! kelli

Congratulations Lindsey and Ellie...twin look alikes and graduates. :0) I'm so glad Kira and Lindsey are best friends...hope it always stays that way. Thanks for the fun party too. Kira had a great time and it made the night extra fun. I forgot about it being the last time all three girls would be in the same school. :( Looks like the boys were having fun! Enjoy your trip!

I can't believe your kids are growing up so fast! It was so great to see you last week. Eliza LOVED playing with your girls--they are so sweet with her. It was fun to have late night chats--I could talk to you for hours. You're not only an awesome person who is so grounded but a kick in the pants!
