Kindergarten Celebration

Tanner has officially graduated from Kindergarten! Ok, so it really happened a week ago, but I am a bit slow. Tanner's class and 2 other kindergarten classes teamed up for a play presentation of "Bugs." It was quite cute and all the kids had their own speaking parts.

Tanner's lines were:
All this talk of food is great.
I can't wait to get started.

He performed them like a pro! I was so proud. He must be related to someone who is well schooled in the art of dramatics. (Wonder who that could be....can you think of anyone Dad?)

They also performed a few really cute songs. Tan is the second from the top on the left hand side. We weren't sitting in the perfect spot to get a great picture of him, but I swear you can hear his voice on the yelling parts.

After the program we went back to Tan's classroom for awards and a yummy picnic. There's nothing quite like hot dogs at 10:00 in the morning. :) Tan was one of 6 kids in his class that passed off all 300 sight words. We are so proud of him and can't believe what an awesome kid he is.

The last day of school was on the 2nd and I was really concerned about keeping Tanner entertained this entire summer, but I have to tell you, this past week has been so incredibly fun! I love having my 'little boy' around. He is such a great help, (so far) he is so willing to help out, and Kade absolutely loves him so it gives me more time to get to other things. Now I am not quite sure what I am going to do when I have to send him back to school at the end of the summer, but we just won't think about that right now. We'll just look forward to a fun filled summer of sun (if it ever stops raining) friends, swimming, visits to the library and splash park and visiting family and friends in Utah. We can't wait to see everyone!

Tanner is such a little man. Summers are great I've decided. We hope it stops raining for you, we're waiting for normal weather too. Oh, we are leaning toward Tarynn. We'll see you soon, yeah.
