"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Jack's Kindergarten Program

JACK'S KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM
I LOVED Jack's program!  I was so happy with my second row seats that I scored and only got there a few minutes early!  Go me.  I was sitting right where I could see my Jack Jack, which rarely happens.  They sang the cutest songs with cute actions, sign language and dancing (course dancing is where Jack draws the line :) ), it was SO CUTE!!  He is still such a little boy in my mind.  He just looked like my little, baby Jack up there!  It's so hard to believe that he's going to be moving up to first grade soon!  He was so fun to watch.  He was very busy mentally, taking in the audience, and watching his friends very closely.  I loved that he would completely turn his body around to watch the kids doing their speaking parts!  SO cute!  I had to get a picture of him doing that.  He did his part so well.  His was, "We will sing the Peace Builder song."  And he memorized it and said it so perfectly even in their practices.  It was so awesome!  He's just too cool.  It was fun to find Liam and Mrs. Piper after to get pictures with them, at his request, and then looking for his cute hand print poster (that I got to help him make the other day :) ).  He was so proud of himself and just so grown up the whole time!  It was a lot of fun.  When we got home he wanted to take pictures with my camera, so I let him use the ol' Rebel.  Then when he realized it was my old one (because I was uploading the ones from my new camera) he started asking when I was going to let him use my new one :).  Funny boy.  But I am so proud of him!  He's worked so hard this year and learned so much!  I really couldn't be happier with his progress!  4-27-18


I thought my camera did an okay job with the lighting as horrible as it is.  Probably because we were so close to the front!


This is one of my favorite faces :).  He is so cute!  


Two of his good friends- Nayvie and Kason
(when he saw me uploading these he asked to look at Nayvie a couple more times! HA!  Cutest crusher ever!)


turned around watching his friends say their parts


So brave!!!


These are the ones that stood up for parts with him- how cool that it's two of his good friends, Paul and Liam right next to him.





Name: Jack, Age: 5, Teacher: Mrs. Piper, Favorite color: Red, Favorite food: Donut (with a backwards D :) ), and Favorite thing about school: Pe (with another "e" erased! HA!)  Then it says Next Year: "I will et lunch we will go to the zoo"  

Oh I just love her so much!!  

Happy as a clam, taking pictures.  He was so cute not wanting to take off his nice clothes, but bask in his program attire and savor the moment :).  Mean mom and dad made him change though.


Lacrosse

ONE OF HER MOST AMAZING GAMES
Kelly played one of her most amazing games yet on Wednesday!  It was SO MUCH FUN!!  She scored about six goals (lost count, but it was at least six), had several assists, and just overall was an awesome player!  I was so proud of her!!  Unfortunately the game ended really sour because a lot of the girls had not played their best and were not passing or settling the ball, so the whole team got a lot of pretty negative afterwards.  Left Kelly in tears which was a total bummer.  But seriously, we won 13 to 0 so I don't know how the coaches couldn't have squeezed in a little, "good job" or "nice work, Kelly".  It was nice to hear from Meredith that Kelly was not the problem and that she is doing awesome.  Too bad that couldn't be part of the post game speech.  Anyway- I would like to focus on how awesome Kelly was!!  She seriously played so well!  I got pictures to prove it!  4-25-18
