Last Day of School 2009


Wow!!!! Can you believe it is already summer! Yikes!!!!



The kids are all ready for school. Aren't they precious! I had to twist a couple of arms to get them to take a picture. (Point for Kimi and Kati) This is the first year I have taken a picture on the last day of school. We always take pictures on the first day. But this way I can see the changes a year brought.



The grade school awards assembly was interesting to say the least. Jenni's class was up first. They started handing out certificates for this and that. Jenni got one for phonics but then nothing else. Every time they would announce an award math, spelling, art, etc.... she would sort of frown. Apparently she thought she should get them all. It was really funny. The last award was for overall best student. Seh got that one! She also received the presidential award signed by President Obama. We are so proud of her. Jenni ended the year with straight A's.

Then Jake and Josh's class were up. Josh received a math, art, and read 25 books awards. He was so cute. We are so proud of him. Josh ended the year with straight A's.


Jake as you can see just stood there with his hands crossed. He did not receive any awards. It broke my heart but the funny story is that morning I asked the kids if they would be getting any awards. Jake said "Only if they give one in gym class" Of course they don't but when I told coach she cracked up. We are so proud of Jake too. He has to work so much harder that the other kids and we were thrilled with his B's and C's on his report card.




Jessi's assembly was a little later. She received awards for reading 25 books, math award, athletic participation award, Student of the Month. We haven't received her report card yet but I'm sure it will be fine. We are really proud of her too!

Still Here

OK so as I think you know we have been working on a new room for Abby. I have been putting pics up on www.blogger.com/stjohnproject.com so if you are interested you can go look. I need new pics but we are on to paint!

I also wanted to let you know that we are planning on camping June 12 to June 15 at Lake Murray. Kimi they have a lodge or cabins http://www.touroklahoma.com/detail.asp?id=1+5U+6446 you can find info at this link.

Baby Ethan update... when they did the ultrasound last time there was an "atypical" scan of the liver. We will be doing another scan in 4 weeks. First off the dr said it was early and possibly nothing. I have done some research on issues with the liver and nothing seems to be serious.

Other than that just feeling pregnant!

The Edmond Mom's Club sponsored this event to raise money for the Food Bank. Kids were welcome to touch, climb on, pretend to drive, and even honk the horns of all kinds of trucks.

Happy Mother's Day!





Dachshund Dash



We had such a fun time that all FOUR hours passed quickly!  It was a GREAT family-friendly event & was super-easy on the budget, except those darn concession stands.  :)  It cost $1 for all of us to get in, the balloon animals were $1, and we kept our gambling to a minimum, so that only cost us $2 each.  What a deal!  Josh, I'll pick up your T-shirt for winning when they have new ones on June 15th.  Thanks for going with me, guys!
