Parker's First Day of Third Grade

Once again, my baby is growing up way too fast. I can not believe Parker is in third grade. This year he is showing signs of being to old for mom. It started with taking our traditional photo on the front porch. He was so embarrassed. There happened to be a neighbor returning from her morning walk and Parker tried to hide. There was no way he was going to be seen standing on the stairs waiting for mom to take his pictures.

Then we we arrived at my work, he was very concerned about me walking him to school. "Mom, are there going to be other mom's with their kids?" Of course, I had to walk him over and try and take a picture by his locker. Had to be a fast one, so his friends didn't catch a glimpse of him posing.

He is growing up way too fast. I want my little boy to be my little boy forever. Here is to another great year.

Oh and Parker has Mrs. Nancy Stewart (my former co-worker, Frank) wife. She is a fabulous teacher and we are in for a great year.

Maisie Starts 7th Grade

My beautiful Maisie has started 7th Grade. I am too hung to have a 7th grader. She has grown into such a beautiful, strong, young lady. Believe me she can stand her ground and is not afraid to speak her mind. She claims at school that she is a lot shier, but at home, she is very confident in her opinions and thoughts.

Maisie had a great summer. She got to hang out with her new best friend, Aubrey, several different times. She loves having a close friend. This is one thing she has always voiced. All she wanted was a best friend. Aubrey is a great friend and I hope they can continue their friendship.

Maisie was looking forward to starting school, just so she could wear her new school clothes. She is all about style and beauty. She wants to look her best.

I wish her the best year ever. This is will be her last year at Spring Creek Middle School. She is excited to be the oldest in the school. She said that the sixth graders look so little. I had to remind her that she was that little last year.

Maisie is an Honor Student

I can't believe that 6th grade is already over. This year has gone by so fast. Spring Creek had a Honor's breakfast for all the students who got straight A's. Maisie did so awesome this year. She was always so good to get her homework done and turn it in. Not always on time, but she focused on doing what she needed to to get an A. So nice that 6th grade is a transition year and eases them into working hard.

Spring Semester

I am so glad this semester is over with. I took Math 1050 and Music 1010. The music class wasn't all that bad, but very boring. Math 1050 was a killer. It was so time consuming and consumed most of my life for the past four months. I am so glad to have my math classes out of the way and moving on to bigger and better classes (wink wink). I have had the last two weeks off of school and have enjoyed every minute of it. Still going strong with a 4.0 gpa. Not sure how long I can hold it, but still working at it. This summer I am taking a business class and a geology class and am kind of excited for both of them. I am just hoping I can still fit in lots of fun this summer.

Maisie's last day of 4th Grade

I can not believe that Maisie is growing up so fast. I remember her going to kindergarten like it was yesterday. Only one more year of EBLS and then it is off to middle school. So sad. Makes me want to freeze time. Maisie has loved having Mrs. Farokhi and Mrs. Johnson for 4th grade. They have both been amazing teachers. So far Maisie is so responsible and I don't ever have to remind her about homework or wonder if she is completing her work. She just does it.

Maisie's classroom job was to announce the daily weather.

EBLS Field Day

Edith Bowen always has a field day of activities the day before the last day. Mrs. Roghaar invited those kindergartners that wanted to attend. Parker loved it and I am glad she did that for them. Maisie loves playing and running around with her girl friends. They all had a great day and what better way to end the school year. Parker wanted to sign everyone's shirt. As soon as I seen him doing this, I knew exactly what he was doing. He was trying to be just like the driver's at the monster jam. It was so stinkin' cute.

Maisie and her BFF's Olivia, Maddi, Maisie

They are so cute together.

Parker's last day of Kindergarten

May 22nd was the last day of Kindergarten. The last day of school they had a special day where they sang songs and showed the parents what they had been learning all year. It was a proud moment for the kids and of course brought a few tears to the parents eyes. They are such cute kids. Even Parker almost cried. He said to me, "I am going to miss Mrs. "Rosghaar". Parker has had a great year and loved kindergarten. I still can not believe the year is already overwith and my baby is now going to 1st grade. Mrs. Roghaar (Rosghaar if you ask Parker) was the best teacher. We couldn't have asked for a better teacher. Parker loves reading and everything about school. One of Parker's best friends is Noah. See the mischievous smiles below. They have a lot of fun together, but they can also be a little rowdy.
