The Final Game

Cooper's team, the Black Indians, played their last t-ball game tonight.  He has had so much fun playing this season ~ and I've had fun watching him!  

Cooper had a collection of rocks and was fiercely guarding them

Reagan was there to support her brother

Coach Cody asked who loved playing baseball ~ Cooper does!

School's Out for Summer!

Today was the last day of school...the last day of kindergarten...where has the time gone?

Reagan before school this morning

She is so beautiful!

Remember this sweet little girl in August?

Seems like only yesterday she was being so brave for her 1st day of school!

One-on-One Lessons

Tonight, Reagan and Cooper started one-on-one swimming lessons.  The director decided that they needed to be split up in order for both of them to learn to swim faster...so, they each have their own teacher.  How cool is that?

Reagan LOVES her teacher

she even swam the backstroke by herself for a few strokes (before realizing her teacher had let go of her!)

Cooper practiced the backstroke too

Kindergarten Awards Day

Reagan's class had their awards day program this morning.  The kids sang a few songs and were each presented with an award that best suited them!

My sweet Reagan

the "Good Morning Song"

She wasn't in the mood for having her picture made today

Reagan's turn to receive her awards

She LOVES Ms A

Reagan received the "Most Inquisitive" award

She also received the "Super Speller" award

Ms A gave each child pictures so they would never forget kindergarten

Next, the kids sang "You Are My Sunshine"

Then, they sang "Slip Sliding Away"

Reagan and Emma with Ms A

I received a special gift from the kids ~ I volunteered most Fridays to help the kids with reading.  They signed this poem in their "very best handwriting"

The teachers gave me this charm bracelet for my help.

Reagan has had a fantastic year and will certainly miss Ms A next year.

Swim Practice

Time again for Reagan and Cooper's swimming lessons.  They were a little more timid tonight than they have been.  Not sure what's up with that!  Greg says my children are going to hate me for putting them through this!

if Reagan doesn't put her head in the water like they ask her, she'll get a cup of water poured on top of her head!

practice, practice
