Dance Fever

This year's school dance festival did not disappoint!  I got to see three of my boys dance the morning away.  Kayden and the kindergarten got to dance first.  They danced to Michael Jackson's ABC, 123.

Kayden is in the middle in the blue shirt and sunglasses.

Kayden loved wearing his sunglasses.  He looked like one cool dude.

Josh danced with the third grade to a Gangum Style mix.  His class wore bright colors and so Josh dawned his team's bright green soccer shirt.

He had a good time dancing with his class.  Josh is in the middle.

More of Josh's moves down on the ground.

This year was Jaxon's last dance festival.  Hard to believe.  He and the sixth grade danced to an 80's medley that I--of course--enjoyed very much.  It took some convincing, but Jaxon wore a collared shirt so he could flip his collar up for the dance.

That is about as 80's and Jaxon could get.  He had fun performing in his last dance festival (even though he might try and tell you otherwise).

Rockin' to the music.

I love the dance festival.  It is fun tradition and a great way to wrap up and celebrate the school year.

Graduation Ceremonies

We celebrated two graduations this year.  Kayden graduated from kindergarten and Jaxon graduated from 6th grade.  Crazy how fast my kids are growing up!

Before Kayden's graduation, the kindergarten put on a cute program for the parents:

Kayden is middle in the brown plaid shirt.  He said to me, "Mom, I need to wear a button down shirt for my program!" 

Doing sign language to the song Beautiful World.

Josh's class didn't come to the school performance, so he asked me to check him out so that he could see Kayden's program.

After the program, we went back to his classroom for an official graduation ceremony.  Above, Kayden had just "graduated" and is showing off his diploma.

Kayden loved his teacher this year.  He was sad to say good-bye.  She will not be returning next year because she is going to have a baby.

We were able to attend Jaxon's graduation a few days later after Kayden had graduated.  Right before Jaxon was going to receive his diploma, the battery in my camera died.  I was jumbling to get a fresh battery in my camera and sadly did not get any good pictures of him walking across the stage.

A slightly better picture of him walking across the stage.

 

As he walked across the stage for graduation, the above baby picture of Jaxon flashed on a big screen.  He was such a cute cuddly baby.  He was my little teddy bear.

Jaxon post graduation sitting with his class--since I couldn't get a good picture of him during the actual graduation.

Happy graduation!  Weird to think that my youngest is off to first grade and Jaxon will be attending seventh grade at the Jr. High with McKay (who will be a Freshman) next year!

Josh's Soccer

Josh's soccer team was undefeated this year.  He had a great time playing with friends from our neighborhood.

Way to go Green Machines!

Sleep Walking/Showering

Jeremy found Kayden wandering into the bathroom late the other night and assumed Kayden was using the facilities when he heard the shower turn on.  When he went to go investigate, he found this:

When he asked Kayden what he was doing, Kayden replied, "I'm hungry."  Jeremy asked him if he wanted to get out of the shower and Kayden replied, "No."  After standing in the shower (in his PJs) for a few minutes, Kayden began to cry and was ready to get out.  Jeremy got him in some dry PJs and put Kayden back to bed.  The next morning, Kayden had no memory of his late night shower.  There is always some adventure going on over here!

Studio C's Jason Gray

Jaxon and his buddies had the opportunity to meet Jason Gray from Studio C.  They visited with him for about an hour and then took some pictures and got his autograph.  Since Jaxon didn't get to go with us to the Studio C Signing last fall, he was super excited.  It was an awesome experience!  Thanks to his buddy Max (far left--eyes closed) and his family for inviting him along!

Soccer In The Rain

Josh had a soccer game during a down pour last week.  As you can see, he got drenched!  You can also see he had a great time.  We went and got hot chocolate after his game.  That made it even more fun.

Eat Lunch With Your Student Day

When it comes to food, McKay will be up for just about anything--unless of course it is vegetable related.  When it was eat lunch with your student day at the Jr. High, McKay was eager for me to come as he new I would bring food with me.  So I grabbed a pizza and Kayden and I went to the Jr. High and ate lunch with McKay.  It was a very enjoyable lunch date.  I love that McKay isn't too cool to be seen with me and have me eat lunch with him at the school.

Two of my favorite lunch dates.
