Another school year gone by, how does it go so fast? This last week has been full of parties, and I mean full! The biggest one was the 5th grade party at Reunion Ranch! This was such a fun way to celebrate the completion of Elementary school, these kids had so much fun. As you can see there was mini-golf, paddle boats, obstacle courses, zip line and even a kick ball tournament. Ethan was in a group with his friend Rory and Chase. And if that wasn't enough, they whole class got together again then next night at Rory's house for a big pool party that lasted well into the night. Good times
The girls also had a fun last day of school, bouncy houses and snow cones are all you need to make these kids happy. All the kids had great teachers and great friends this year whom we'll miss over the summer.
Friday morning was also Ethan's 5th grade graduation, complete with his receiving a Silver Presidential Academic Award (he missed the gold by 2 points:)! We were so proud of him. I totally cried when his principle started talking about how this is only the first of many graduations that will come and how this is the foundation for all of them. How can he really be going to middle school? It was also very touching when the honored a 5th grade girl who passed away this year during a heart surgery. The kids really showed some class and I'll always remember their tribute even though I didn't know the girl personally.
Congrats Ethan!!! We love you!

Sounds like a fun filled day - actually 2 fun filled days! We are so proud of our wonderful grandchildren and their amazing parents!
How awesome! So weird to think you're "old" enough to have a son whose almost decon age! I still feel like I'm 20 and never think of you as being that much older than I am!
Um, no. He's not allowed to go to middle school! It's just crazy how fast they grow up. Congrats on the Presidential Award Ethan!
