Kindergarten Graduate 2012-2013

Wow how times flies....Our little kindergarten is now a 1st grader! Today was Kaylee's last day of her first school year!
What a great school year it was too! We love Hinkle Creek Elementary and LOVED LOVED Mrs.Freeman and Mrs.Smuckers!
Kaylee passed with ease of course....its beyond amazing all she learned in 9 months. She can read, knows simple math, spells and writes! Looking at all her work from the year from start to finish was amazing...she grew so much! She ended the year reading a level above whats expected, writing at a 1st grade level and just being a super smart and very willing little girl!
To end the school year Kaylee's class got to do the announcements at the beginning of the day! Each day a few from class would go down..introduce themselves of the speaker, do the pledge of allegiance, Hinkle Creek pledge....and Kaylee's day just happen to be the very last day of school...so cute and what a great way to end school for her! I'm sure going to miss those kids, class 151, both teachers and my little girl being in Kindergarten!

We ended the last day with icecream at Dairy Queen with Jenna one of Kaylee's bestfriends this year, Valerie, Lil Cody and Haley...love that we made great friends this year!

We are so beyond proud of you Kaylee......you are such an amazing little girl! Love you so very much

Kyle's First haircut

Today Aunt Ceca trimmed up Kyle's hair for the first time! We've been waiting and waiting for this, he has the cutest curls and we didn't want them to go! However his hair is getting crazy somedays and we knew eventually we'd have to anyway! So Ceca reluctantly cut it...but she only trimmed it up a little so he still has some curls especially on humid days! :) YAAY He did pretty well for being sleepy and boy does he look cute!


After pic soon to come!

Cool Creek Field Trip

Today was so much for for all of us....Kaylee last field trip of Kindergarten!!! We went to Cool Creek Park today and had a blast!
Jason and I volunteered, we had three girls in our group...Kaylee, Jade and Lucy! The bus ride was fun, its been forever since this mom and dad has been on a bus! hahaha This was a day for all six classes of Kindergartners to just have fun... that's a lot of 5-6yr old!
We started off with a game of bingo...nature style....the girls did awesome, found a cricket and butterfly to make a bingo!
From there we went into the nature center for a few stations! First we learn about turtles, then checked out the viewing area for birds, squirrels and such, then a couple crafts(painting paws prints/colored leaves), story time, lunch and ended the day with a little nature walk! We learned what flowers show when squirrels, butterflies etc... will be out! We learned of trees, different plants and how to stay on trails to preserve nature! Then back to the bus for another fun ride back to school.
