Last month of school!

Well, I will try to get caught up as to our happenings this past month. So much has gone on with the end of school and some fun vacations.
Matt had a fun field trip to DeAnna Rose farm. His favorite thing was hanging out with his friends and feeding the goats. He had a great time at field day also. When Tom picked him up on his last day of school, he said, "Dad, I get to go to kindergarten tomorrow!" He was pretty sad for a couple of days when he was told he had to wait until after summer. Pretty crazy that we have paid our last preschool payment!! Wow! Time flies! Matt can't wait to go to school with Sam and Shelby. Since we have had the nicer weather, all Matt wants to do is play baseball and shoot hoops! He just loves it and wants to just keep practicing. So fun to watch!
Shelby's biggest news and excitement this past month is that she finally lost her first tooth! At school she got to be in a Earth Day performance with the whole 1st grade. They each had a speaking part and sang some songs with actions and dance moves. Pretty cute! She got to make a boat to race at the annual 1st grade boat regatta and won some races so she was pretty happy. She also got a special award the last day of school. She also tried out and made the talent show at school. She sang a song while playing the piano. It was something she learned in her music class. She did a great job! We were proud of her. She did it last year too, so I think she had some confidence because she is a bit shy. The last day of school she came home with an award--Citizenship Honor Roll. She was all smiles!
Sam has had a busy last month also. He started baseball. It is so fun to see him out there with his "uni" on. I guess he is taking after me because he has played 1st and catcher. Pretty fun to watch! I sure miss playing! The last couple of weeks Sam has been learning how to mow the lawn a bit. He really does a pretty good job. At school all the different 2nd grade classes painted a t-shirt to wear for their fieldtrip to the zoo. Sam's class was Tigers. Sam had a great day at the zoo hanging with his best friend Blake. Sam also made the talent show. He wanted to do something with Blake and so he and I taught Blake the left hand to Sam's favorite song from music class. Sam played the right hand and Blake the left. They also sang while they played. I guess Blakes mom was so happy that Sam got Blake to do something because he is so shy in front of people. Well, leave it up to Sam to make someone feel comfortable! :) Sam was pretty proud of his end of the year Ben Franklin report. I thought he looked pretty cute in his costume. Sam's end of the year award from his teacher was "Social Busy Bee" for being a friend to many. How fitting! He is very social and loves to make new friends no matter where we are. :)
Sorry for the long post! :)
