Let The Silliness Begin!!!!

Summer is officially here.  On Friday, June 7th, I was the only parent at the bus stop who was really excited for the summer and having the kids home.  We have so much planned and we cannot wait to get it started.  Jeremy only had a half day the last two days of school so we were all waiting for Naomi to get home on Friday to start playing.

Wait!  I am getting ahead of myself.  So many fun things happened the last week of school.  Naomi had a watermelon day, an ice cream day, an end of school party day, field day, beach day, and game day.  The first grade team kept every day the last week interesting so the kids wouldn't have time to go too crazy.  I got to help out with the watermelon day and field day.  Nick came with me and we had a blast with the kids.

 Watermelon anyone!?  Front row l to r:  Brandon, Riley and Trey  Back row l to r:  Macy, Madeline, Naomi (with Nick doing moose antlers), Julia and Lorena.  

 Field Day.  I was in charge of the traveling task relay.  This is Naomi's class.  

 Naomi bouncing the basketball before racing back to tag the next person.

Naomi had a great year!  She loved her teacher, Mrs. Stinson, and made several really great friends whom we will get to see all summer long at the pools and for play dates.  It was a great experience for her and she is excited to go back next year!  

The kids were excited because our spring planting of carrots were finally ready for harvest on the last day of school.  These are the best carrots we have ever grown.  Naomi KNOWS it is because she planted them this year.  Whatever the reason they are big and yummy.  


 This moth took refuge on our tomato garden net (so the birds don't eat all of our tomatoes) while tropical storm Andrea came through.  He was huge and absolutely gorgeous.  Maybe he had something to do with our carrots growing so big.  He scared away the bugs and birds and ...

All of Naomi's friends have been getting their hair cut into a bob.  Naomi resisted quite a while until we went to her friend's baptism and Bella had gotten her hair cut.  That did it!  We went straight from the baptism to the hair salon and got her hair "whacked off" as she says.  She loves her new look and an added bonus is that she is not as hot.  

The silliness of summer is already setting in.  
It is going to be a good one this year!!!
