Goodbye Kindergarten!

Abi's first year at Rosa Parks was a great success - not only did she have an awesome teacher who made school fun, but she got to experience a host of new and exciting things.  She also seemed to learn a thing or two along the way!

Father's Day!

We celebrated Father's Day by having a family dinner at Arizona Grandma and Grandpa's house.  As in past years, we took the full advantage of the opportunity and got some updated family photos!

End of the Year Fun!

June proved to be a busy month as Abi had many end of the school year activities with Kindergarten coming to an end.

We took a class field trip to the zoo...



Abi performed in a class play called "Worms & Fishes", which was written by her Kindergarten class. She played a fish.  After the performance, unbeknownst to me, she was given the task of fielding questions from the audience (which was comprised of parents, and a few other Kindergarten and 1st grade classes). Unfortunately, I turned the video camera off a bit too quick so I didn't get this part recorded but she did a great job! 
 (It is hard to get a good video with the lights on the stage so in case you can't tell, Abi is the second one in on the right, with the orange skirt.  And just in case you were wondering, it was Pajama Day on the day of the play, hence the robes and SpongeBob PJs!)

We also attended an End of the Year Celebration...
The week before the party, Abi worked hard to make each of her Kindergarten friends a little departing gift!

Thanks to some very creative class Moms, the kids had a blast competing in several fun games!

Then it was time for ice cream sundaes...did I mention that it was 9:30 in the morning? :)
