This is the last week of school, and there have been tons of field trips, parties, awards, ceremonies, and even a graduation. Rex got to wear a cap in his ceremony where he was promoted from preschool into elementary school. Rex is going into kindergarden!!! Bowen earned the sweatshirt he is wearing in this picture by running 40 miles in Theo's mileage club. Bo also got awards for his art. Corbin is showing off his 2nd place ribbon from the track meet. He ran the 800M (that is 2 laps around the track). He also got a presidential fitness award and a bunch of reading and math medals. Even though they don't have a ceremony or a graduation event, Drake is moving on to Middle School!!!! He has finished his elementary years, and is looking forward to the next phase of his education. They got to go to the middle school for a visit last week. Drake said their cafeteria is way better and he was really glad about that. I think he is most excited to have his own locker. Drake also got several awards at school for reading, but he is pictured here with a special item......Brad, do you recognize it? You should because it was made by you! Mrs. Anderson sent it home with our boys today! We will keep it safe until we can get it to you. (-;

We sure are grateful to all the wonderful educators that have done so much for our boys! They all have very special teachers that care about them and have worked with us to make sure the kids are doing their best. I marvel at all the growth that each of our sons have had over the course of the school year. At the risk of sounding cliche, they grow up so fast!!!
