The Storm before the Calm

I know, I have it backwards but that's how the end of the school year is. A STORM of things to do before the CALM of summer begins. Our Storm this last week has been crazy, good, sad and a little of everything. I will share the GOOD:

Jessica performed with the Choir and was amazing! It was Hurray for Hollywood and they did song's from movies. She had a solo in the song " The Man that got Away". It was such a fun night and they really worked hard. It payed off. They sounded and looked amazing! It was a good end to a LONG week.


Rylee graduated from Pre-School! Miss Linda had the graduation and they were all sooooo cute. Rylee has had so much fun and grown up so much this year. She LOOOOOVES Miss Linda and her Assistant Miss Amber! And so do I, I don't know which one of us will miss them more!


They Sang some cute songs for us and got a report card that Rylee was SOOO excited about!



Rylee got to lead the pledge.


We also got to watch Sydney and these cuties at their Dance Assembly at school.
Can I just say....They Rocked the House!



They are all really good dancers and their routine was so cute! LOVED watching them!!!





Kole was in choir this year also! They has a concert and I loved seeing him up there! Its usually my girls that are up there and Kole is watching with me. It was fun to get to see him up there this time. To be honest...i loved watching him do something that didn't make my heart skip a beat! (bike tricks, quad tricks, skate boards, jumping out of trees...that's what i'm usually watching.)


He had to do a few dance moves and Rylee leaned over to me and said " look, Kole's embarrased!" Yep, he was.



We went to the Fire Department with the Preschool! This is always fun! They are so sweet with the kids and they all had a really great time!!











We also got to go to Our Niece's Baptism. But I don't have any pictures of that. It was beautiful and she was beautiful!! It was a really nice night! The girls were asked to sing and I accepted for them :) and they sang a beautiful song by Jenny Phillips.
So, add in a city library field trip, The Fathers and Sons camp- out, Mothers Day, a Camp B.B.Q., Camp Kick-off, a wedding and few other things...and you have our last week! So... now you know what I meant when I admitted it may not have been the teacher that sent me over the edge...that I may have been teetering there the whole time...remember I only mentioned the GOOD things. I realize that as busy as it gets sometimes I really am thankful for these times I have with my kids. To watch them and go to field trips and run crazy...all of it. I am Blessed and very thankful for this very crazy life.
But....I will still be counting down till summer starts....4 days.

Sounds like our weekend, except for that cute firefighter in the background, he wasn't there. As a matter of fact, my cute firefighter wasn't even there. Ugh, I'm so excited to go to the beach and have a husband for an entire month! Hope you guys are coming too :) I'm going to continually stalk you until you say yes. Can't wait for summer :)
