Goodbye Elementary School
Happy day! On June 3rd at 8:30 am Tyler, and many others, celebrated their 6th grade Promotion. It was a short and sweet program. There were musical numbers and speakers. Mr. Grant from the Jr. High spoke, as well as Mrs. West the principal. Nana and Papa flew into town and Scott had the morning off so we could all be a part of this special event.
Tyler was one of the children who spoke at the promotion. ( I was short a speaker and made him do it!)
After shaking hands with Mrs. West, his teacher, Mr. Frank, and the other 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Emery, Tyler took off and ran across the stage...
Did a heel click...and pretended to expose his chest like Superman (just like he does after scoring in football!) Such a funny kid!
Tyler pulled straight A's all year long. He was an excellent student that pushed himself mentally and physically. Tyler has a lot of friends, many interests and loves to try new things. He is READY for 7th grade and can't wait to go to Evergreen Jr. High next year. Great job Tyler. We love you!!!

Alice in Wonderland
Last week Tyler was March Hare in the musical, Alice in Wonderland Jr. at his school, Rosecrest Elementary. He was terrific!!! The entire musical was great. The costumes were beautifully made. The props and background were great. The choreography was impressive (for an elementary school) and the students all did a fantastic job.
GREAT job everyone!! We are all still singing those catchy songs here at my house!!

The Boys
Will is a smart, hard-working, handsome son. He's the oldest, and he's great at it. Will is a great example to all his brothers and a huge help to me. Will loves football, lacrosse, and park skiing. He's in 10th grade at Olympus High School, has all advanced classes and is pulling straight A's.
Jackson has a great imagination and keeps us laughing. He is very creative and is great at drawing, writing and making up stories. He is my number 1 go-to-guy for babysitting; Such a great helper!! Jackson is in 8th grade at Evergreen Jr. High, is in advanced classes and is doing great.
Tyler is in the 6th grade and is my super athletic son. He is great at most sports but excels at football, lacrosse and basketball. Tyler is wild and crazy and always fun to be around. Tyler is great with his newest younger brother, Robbie. It is so sweet to see such an aggressive guy become so soft and kind to a baby brother.
Gavin is almost 9 years old and such a great kid. Gavin is the most confident and brave kid that I know. He will disappear, off on his own, without a care in the world. Gavin is a good looking kid with lots of girls that follow him around. Gavin loves most sports and especially loves park skiing. You will find him skiing backwards down the hill. Before leaving, anywhere, he makes sure his hair is combed perfectly.
Brigham is the biggest "ham" of them all, and that must be why it is in his name. He is the sweetest little personality, and is so kind to everyone. Brigham is the biggest love bug; always hugging, kissing and snuggling with me. He is the biggest 6 year old you'll ever meet, but a super soft teddy bear inside. Brigham tries to do everything his older brothers do. He loved playing flag football, but is ready for the real stuff next year. He loves playing basketball and park skiing.
Nathan is such a great kid. He is 5 years old and loves playing outside and playing inside. He enjoys watching YouTube tutorials on Minecraft games and then grabbing my cell phone or iPad and advancing in the game. He's a little quieter than the others, but still a fun, outgoing kid. Nathan is enjoying his last year of preschool and is already excited for Kindergarten to start next year.
Preston is secretly my favorite son! He has such a great personality. Preston talks ALL THE TIME and asks a bazillion questions about everything. I love how inquisitive he is. If you are sad or angry, just spend 5 minutes with this kid and he'll make you not only smile but you'll be laughing. Preston is such a riot! He is a little mini version of all of the other boys.
And then there's Robbie. He is a darling. He sleeps great, thank goodness! He's starting to smile and coo at me and the other boys. He reminds me of Benjamin Button with his grumpy old man faces that he makes. I love his huge dark, blue eyes and when he scrunches his forehead. So cute! He's also my favorite...shhh, don't tell!
