Ahhhh, the final day of the school year.
Desks and lockers emptied, yearbooks signed, hugs goodbye, even tears (notice Sophie - she and her best friend ADORED their teacher and were very, very sad to have to say "good-bye") . . . another year of school has ended with it's usual fanfare of parties, field trips, field days, and excitement. I think this has to be one of my favorite parts of being a mom - when those last few days seem to bring back memories of the pure freedom associated with the end of school and beginning of summer vacation that I remember so well from my own childhood and adolescence . . . quite nostalgic.

The local firemen surprised the kids with their trucks
Soph and friends were SOAKED!
After field day, I raced over to the Jr. High to set up for the 9th grade promotion party LUAU. Thanks to Caroline and Jodelle's daughter Hannah for their help!
Here they come - tired boys after a day at Lagoon . . . let's get this party started!
Ryan and best buddy Sam Peterson - boys will be boys . . . sigh.
Awesome party - shaved ice, dinner, live band, and yearbook signing!
Our boys didn't mind too much having us there - Jodelle always keeps things lively!
Caroline signing yearbooks this morning w/ friends Maddie and Sophie
Our teacher gifts - a special cookie and movie gift cards.
Liza saying "good-bye" to her kindergarten teachers, Mrs. Pope and Mrs. Oakeson - what a great year!
Sophie and her absolute FAVORITE teacher of all time, Mrs. Menssen. She will be dearly missed!
Sweet Hunter gave Sophie a hug to help her feel better - she did manage a smile!

I am sad that Ciara wasn't able to finish Kindergarten with Elizabeth! But you can tell her that we will be coming to town at the end of July. I know Ciara would love to see her!
Ha... I get to have that same feeling, even more so, every year... LOL
cute pictures, Julie! You have such happy kids - like their Mom. :)
Happy Summer!
