It’s Officially Summertime!

We have a tradition on the last day of school, we celebrate with ice cream! Even though we finished with online learning, we can always celebrate summer and the ending of another school year. We made our trip to Gracie Blues for Caroline and Miccos for the rest of us!

Moving on to 3rd Grace

Caroline’s 5th Grade Party

Today at 8:30, Caroline was due to walk across the stage and kiss Elementary good-bye! Due to the pandemic, we will celebrate a little different! Harper’s mom hosted a party for the girls!! They took picture and enjoyed cookie cake! Harper had a water slide and the girls swam! It was a beautiful day and they had so much fun!!

The kids all got in today and played games and enjoyed being together! I also got in and floated ! It was so relaxing! Taylor had two more tests then we will be done with school. Happy Summer

Happy 5th Grade Graduation

This week, Caroline would have graduated from Elementary school, but due to the quarantine, things will look different. We are so proud of all her hard work this year in 5th grade! She finished with All A’s this 9 weeks. We took a few pictures after church today.  She looked beautiful!

Griffin’s Book Report

Today, Griffin did his final big project in 2nd grade! He presented his biography on Babe Ruth! Usually, the students represent their characters in a Wax Museum fashion. This year, the quarantine changed plans a bit. Griffin did his book report through Zoom! Mrs. Powell broke it up into three days... Griffin was on the last day, but he presented 1st! Griffin did awesome! He looked so precious

Caroline Hits It Big

Caroline had two big assignments this week in 5th grade! A final math test and a science experiment! She had worked for two weeks on the roller coaster- she basically gave up a whole Saturday cutting and glueing her track together! This past Wednesday night, her brothers and her were upstairs trying out the coaster and it worked! It was required to work two times in a row! She got so excited! She earned a 101. She received extra credit for making an extra hill after her loop!

Today, Caroline had a huge Math test and she got a 100! She has had a wonderful week of academics! Good job Caroline! 

Online Learning- she works so hard!

Happy 9th Birthday Griffin

We have been looking forward to Griffin’s 9th birthday ever since we finished Caroline’s Bday! God blessed us with beautiful weather and I even was up early enough to see the sun rise! Griffin started his day with 9 balloons blown up on his bedroom floor and 9 helium ballons tied in his room! For breakfast, Dad and Griffin rose to pick up donuts (1st meal out) from Jin’s! Yummy! We went on a bike ride and enjoyed Caroline’s gift to Griffin- a BiRtHdAy ScAvEnGeR HuNt!! He enjoyed finding candy all over the house! Griffin and I got outside to shoot baskets with his new ball and net He had worn the tread off the ball and holes in his net! It was about lunchtime and the Bday Boy picked Zaxby’s (2nd meal out). Dad was so sweet to run and pick it up! We enjoyed lunch and the. singing to Griffin! Before we enjoyed cookie cake, we went around and talked about why we love Griffin- it was the highlight of the day. Griffin is so sensitive that he cried. After lunch, we rode bikes and flew his new kite( he was not interest but Dad enjoyed it). Then at 4:00, Grammie and Gram made a surprise appearance! He was so excited. We ate dinner with them at 5:00- Booyas Nachos! Trey went to pick it up with Papa(3rd meal out). When they returned, we surprised Griffin with his new bike! Papa had picked it up in Jackson for us! He took off and loved his bike. Then, 6:15 arrived and we heard horns! It was Griffin’s birthday parade! He was so excited and enjoyed it...but also a little overwhelmed. He had 5 buddies school: John, JD, Cole, Breck Hurley, Oliver and Luke! The. Hudson came late. From G’s baseball team, he had Christian, Noah, Landon, Caden, Cooper and Breck! But, Mrs. Powell really stole the show and had a UT foam finger! After that, Griffin opened a few presents from The grandparents: money from Gram and desk chair from Grammie. We wrapped up day by watching Thunderstruck with Kevin Durant-it was so good! We paused for ice cream in the middle. It was a super fun day!
