Well, my friends, it's been a big week at the Barber house. Most notably, I am the proud mom of one smart first grader (and can I get an amen and a hallelujah on the end of Kindergarten?!). I'll let the pictures do the talking on everything that's been going on around here.
The Kinders hosted a parent appreciation tea the week before school ended. It was a very sweet program and they did a great job. I've got more to say on this, but it belongs over on my other blog so stay tuned. I'll just say that there was finally affirmation that all the hard work we've put in this year paid off. (:
I spent a lovely, exhausting, crazy four days in Spokane earlier this week for our spring board meeting. This is water coming off of the Spokane River Falls. A little nerve-wracking standing on this bridge! The meeting went very well and I'm so glad to be a free woman now! I'm not supposed to travel again until the fall, but I may be nominated to attend the memorial service in Reno for a long-standing board member who recently passed away (and will be greatly missed).
Voila! I'm finally planting flowers and loving every minute of it. Morgan helped with these.
Oh. my. goodness. So much to say about this young lad and all he's accomplished this year. He's reading above grade level and scored an "outstanding" on his third trimester reading assessment. Yay! I was a weeping mess when it came time to say good-bye to his teacher and assistant teacher. They took such good care of him this year and were so great to work with.
The last day of school community picnic
Last picture in front of his classroom. The tee-shirts are hand-drawn faces of each Kinder and their names...so cute!
A new tradition we've started for Jacoby. We'll do this for Morgan too, but will probably start with his Pre-K teachers, since they will have been with him for four years.
We spent the morning at the Tree Farm tooling around in a golf cart looking at trees. It was so fun and we found a great little tree for our front yard.
The boys had a great time
We had a really good tree helper who took us all over and gave us a good education on planting trees.
If you need a tree planted, Justin is your guy. He did a great job.
So excited to watch this little thing grow!
We also came home with two blueberry bushes
Here's my weekend project. (: This, and I'm running a 10K race on Monday with some of my BFFs from work. And did I mention that I talked these same BFFs into running a half marathon with me in the fall? (:
And in case you need a little cheering up, this video is just for you. I'm going to miss these guys!
