Last Day of 6th Grade & 2nd Grade...& 6th Grade Graduation

Oh how the time flies! My babies are growing up!!!

Kaylee is now on to 3rd Grade. She received an award from her teacher as "Most Huggable". And she is definitely that!!! Her 8th birthday was also today. She got the royal treatment let me tell ya! I made 2 large pans of rice krispie treats (48 squares ~ I pre-cut them) for her to bring to school and not a one came back!! Imagine that!!!???

Taylor is now officially graduated from elementary school! She received two awards...one for accelerated math and one for academic excellence. The academic excellence award was given to kids with GPA's higher than 3.5 for the year. I was very proud!!

The parents of the 6th graders put on a luncheon for the rest of the day after the award ceremony took place. We had 6 different games (they divided up into groups), pizza, fruit ca bobs, rice krispie treats, brownies, slushy machine, karaoke and a graduation cake. I think we all had a blast!!! It was a great last gathering before they go on to JR High and are joined by all of the other 6th graders at the surrounding elementary schools. I was glad to be a part of it!!!

Tonight Taylor also was off to a 6th grade friends house where her and her family are throwing a pool party complete with more food and a bon fire for the evening hours. This was from 3-9:30 tonight. Taylor just got home and basically went right down to her room. She looks beat!
