RILEY turned 13 years old! What??? I have a teenager? NO WAY! Its a good thing he is such a great kid! I just can't believe that he has gotten so old! Last year, Riley's bday was on parent teacher conferences, this year, it was on solo and ensemble day! Sorry Ry guy! We had him open up his presents right before he went to the high school for solo and ensemble!
Riley's violin solo was Csardas by Monti and he ROCKED it! He got the highest ranking-a 1!
So proud of this kid! He has started to love playing the violin!
This is Riley's duet with a classmate. They played Concerto for 2 violins by Bach! They also received the highest ranking, a 1!
Our sweet friends, the Allenders from Ohio sent Riley these books since we are still heartbroken about losing Sweetie. SO awesome!
Riley requested brownies instead of a cake..here ya go buddy! Riley has done such a great job adapting to the 7th grade in Wisconsin! I remember moving to a new house and school right before 7th grade and it was SO hard, but he did it in the middle of the school year! He is so smart, so active in weight lifting, swimming and soon to be track! Riley was just called to be the Deacons quorum president in our ward and is taking that responsibility serious. He is about to start on his Eagle project as well! He is a good brother and we just are so grateful he is in our fam!
For the 3rd grade wax museum, Elle chose Helen Keller. She has just Loved learning about how amazing Helen Keller was as a deaf and blind person!
Winnie is SO funny! She loves to copy everything I do! She found a shirt of mine on the ground and my glasses, and put them on herself! That's actually super smart!
Winnie also has a fascination with the hermit crabs who are somehow still alive!
Winnie and I LOVE visiting Emery at his kindergarten class!
Riley got straight A's and was at the honor roll meeting! WAY to go Riley!!
We NEED to find a lock for the drink fridge! This girl LOVES to get ALL of the drinks out of it! Shopping girl is in her future!
Emery was SOOOOO excited to be the Star of the week! He LOVED being the line leader, the teachers helper, telling the kids about his family, showing off Winnie and playing his violin for the class! What an awesome kid he is! He is just seriously the CUTEST!
We explored the Waunakee Library and it was cute, but actually made me miss the Ohio Library by our house!
Just FYI, Wisconsin's "SPRING" is not spring! I am super jealous of Utah's beautiful Spring weather and beautiful blossom trees but we are trying to make the most of still wearing our coats!
