June

The beginning of June brought...

More soccer...Maren improved every week and scored a goal almost every game!  She is a really fast runner and is so determined! 

The last day of school...she wanted to wear a pretty dress and have her hair blow-dried.

Afterward, I took Maren and Kylie to Menchees to celebrate officially being Kinderarteners! (Aren't they cute in their coordinated outfits?!  This was NOT planned!)

A neighborhood interest in Pokemon...sigh...

Silly self-portraits...

 

The last bit of 2nd grade homework!

Big carrots...

A reading award - he was 3rd place for the whole 2nd grade class (100-ish students).  We are so proud of Joel and his love for reading...he was in the top three all year and this is a BIG accomplishment!

Birthday treats for Joel's class...they celebrated his birthday the Friday before school got out.

The best teacher ever...Mrs Hickman was Joel's 1st and 2nd grade teacher and she was so wonderful.  We will definitely miss her and hope Maren will be in her class in 2 more years!!

Home made ice cream - the old fashioned way!  

It was really yummy but didn't make much...will have to make more soon!

The end of soccer...great job Maren!!
