5th Grade Graduation

I will start off by apologizing for the quality of these pictures. I was also slow in getting these. They announced winners for different categories and we did not know who would win...so I did not have my camera ready. Lydia won awards for both Music and Social Studies! Way to go Lydia! You have worked SO hard this year. We are very proud of you.

Lydia has loved her teacher this year--Mrs. Lamar. We love you Lydia. Thank you for setting such a great example for all of your younger brothers and sisters.

When Lydia got the music award the teacher decided to have the students guess who would get it. So, she started out by saying, "This student has been at Lakeside since kindergarten. She has two brothers at Lakeside with her and two sisters not at Lakeside. Everyone then said...Lydia!!" By the way, doesn't she look beautiful and grown up?! Watch out Sunnyvale Middle School--Lydia is on her way!

Baseball Season

Richie had a great season with the Pirates. He loved the trophy and the treat tickets as much as playing!

Jacob loved playing catcher this season. Unfortunately, I do not have pictures of his last game where they got their trophies. I was running from the house after a full day of packing and left the camera. Jacob's team won 1st place in the U8 division! Jacob really improved this year. Great job Jacob!!

Last Pack Meeting in Coppell

Rich has been the Cub Master for the two Coppell Wards for the past couple of years. He has done a great job. It has been especially fun for him the past few months as Jacob has been in Cub Scouts. The theme for the month was recycling. So, the kids used recycled materials and decorated the outgoing and the new incoming Cub Masters.

Here they are as we judged them.

It was a tie!

For dessert we ate this yummy cake. I think that Rich will miss the boys as much as they will miss him.

Housing Update--May 26th

As you an see, the framing is complete and the roof was put on today. It is fun for us to see so much progress.

Piano Recital & 5th grade Talent Show

Richie, Jacob, and Lydia all performed at their piano recital. They all did a great job and we are very proud of them for their hard work.

Lydia performed at the 5th grade talent show. She played a fiddle piece. She did a great job. I am hoping to figure out how to add video to this and let you all hear some of the music that the kids all played over the last week.

Hair Cuts

The kids all got hair cuts and are ready for summer!
