Catching Up . . .

As usual, I'm behind:)  Kayla finished up this round of gymnastics.  We decided to take a break for the summer because of softball/baseball craziness!  

She still (almost daily) will clear out the living room and push everything to the sides so she has room to do her cartwheels!!!!

Joshua's class took a field trip to the KS Museum of History.  This was the only picture 

I managed to take????  

I went with Kayla and her class to the KS Children's Discovery Center.  We go there quite a bit as a family, so most of it was super familiar!  Check out her jayhawk!

I believe they were petting the turtle shell here!

She finally lost her first tooth . .  AND she managed to lose it at school so she was the proud recipient of a treasure chest box!  That's a big deal to someone in kindergarten!

Tyler has his first "real" dental cleaning -- he was a trooper!

His hygienist was great -- he responded very well to her!

And these pics . . . sniff, sniff . . . are from the last day of school!  Miss Kayla is 

now officially a 1st grader!

 Joshua finished his year of 2nd grader -- and can't wait for 3rd grade!

These are the kids from the first day of school . . .

And these are from the last day of school!  (we took them in front of the van because it was POURING the first day of school!!!!)

So, Kayla was very, very upset the last week or so of school -- she absolutely adored her teacher and didn't really relish the thought of moving on AT ALL.  Like . . . every night when we would tuck her in, it would be followed by 20 minutes of sobbing.  So, just to show the contrast of our children . . . Kayla left the bus CRYING because she wouldn't see Miss Patton all summer . . .

 . . . Joshua, however, walked of the bus with this pose . . . Where does he even learn stuff like this???? No tears from him!
