SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER...

SCHOOL'S OUT FOREVER!!!!

Okay, maybe not forever but at least for THREE WHOLE MONTHS! And y'all. I think I may be more excited than the kids! A year of folders, soccer, dance, work, and a husband that's only home 2 nights every week has a girl TIRED. 


They were FULL of personality for early morning pictures... 


it could have been prompted by the fresh donuts that were waiting for them... 


but I'll take it because HOW CUTE ARE MY KIDS?


Also, your day will be infinitely better every time you watch Landry during this little boomerang. 


Cindy took a feet pic of the girls last year and it was CRAZY how much they had grown. I thought it would be fun to do the same... all those knees are peeking through now!


Rad's head reaches those white bricks now!


Emmy's growth doesn't look quite as dramatic, but she is definitely taller!


They only go to school for half a day on the last day so they have to be as silly and full of fun as they can be!



I can't say enough wonderful things about Radley's teachers this year. Mr. Solis and Mrs. Ferguson were exactly what he needed! His confidence soared in class and he just loved going to school. He was most sad about leaving these two behind because "my friends move up with me and the teachers stay behind." 


Emmy was a little more nervous starting school than Radley but she moved past those nerves and totally rocked (just like I knew she would). These teachers were the perfect balance - Mrs. Kriscunias was patient and maybe let Emmy get away with some things while Ms. Gonzalez was firm and didn't let little Miss Priss get away with her normal antics. 


Emmy's class is having to say farewell to one more friend - Melisabel is moving back to Panama and we sure are going to miss her!! She is just the SWEETEST!!!


So until next year, happy summer CHE! When we return in August, you'll have one more King in your ranks... something tells me she will fit in nicely!

Awards Season...

The end of school means class parties, no homework, too many cookies and my personal favorite, AWARDS DAY! I honestly can't believe the end of another year is here.


Emmy was pretty excited about the morning, but she was even more excited that her little sister was there to cheer her on. Her class was last to receive their awards so we had to wait for a while but I really do love seeing all these kiddos get recognized for their gifts and talents.


In the middle of the ceremony we noticed Emmy's line shifted rather quickly - turns out one of her classmates got sick. Well, the teachers were shuffling kids and handing out awards so.... 


And then it was time for Emersyn to get recognized...


"Good" attendance and Making Connections (which we can't decide if that's about making friends or critical thinking) either way we are so proud of our girl. And more importantly, she was so proud of herself!


I love that they couldn't decide where to look except Emmy just watched me because she appreciates a good picture as much as I do.


They finished in plenty of time to snap some pictures with her teachers... they have been such a wonderful support for her this year. She is so sad to leave them!


She hit the jackpot with teachers and friends (and even little sisters).


Gigi of course made the trip!


And I couldn't pass up a shot with my girl!


We all broke for lunch/work/errands and made our way back to school for Radley's awards.


Good Attendance
A/B Honor Roll
Noetic Math Competitor
UIL Participant
Intuitive Thinker Award


But that wasn't all - he was most excited about the final award...


He tied for second in Road Runners - a program in our district that recognizes running at PE. He ran 256 laps this year which is SIXTY FOUR MILES! Y'all - this kid ran more in 3rd grade that I did in my entire high school career!


This is how Landry fell about it.


Rad's awards were at the end of the day so we were pressed or time with pics.


These girls were so proud of their brother!!!


Another year, another award season, another excuse for me to be proud of this crew!


Royally Waiting: SUMMERTIME

Sorry for the delayed post y'all - I was fighting a migraine last night and just couldn't get it together! Shelly and Holly are basically waiting on me to get my shizzz together.

#thatwillneverhappen

I know what we are all waiting on ... THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!

#allthepraisehands

If you're a little like me, you may be scrambling for a last minute gift. Don't worry - I've got you covered today!!

We like to get the kids class teachers a little something extra at the end of the year and College Station just got a "Nothing Bundt Cakes" so I made a quick tag and my friend and I split the cards since we both have 1st and 3rd graders in the same class!


We couldn't let the year go by without thanking ALLLL the other people that create these awesome educational experiences for the kiddos!


And I forgot to take a picture of this one, but we also got small gifts for dance teachers, Sunday school teachers, etc... Bath & Body Works foaming soap is one of my favorite tiny luxuries and they now have a fun line of "exotic places" that are the perfect way to say "let the summer vacation begin!!"



Here are all the tags - You should be able to right click and save and then print!


Nothing Bundt Cakes - print 2/page to make 5x7 notecards - will need to trim.


 EXTRA mile - print 4/page and the square packs of gum fit perfectly!
Soapin' you have a great summer - Print 6/page to make square tags!



Now all we are waiting on is for you to link-up!
