END OF SCHOOL WRAP UP!

Since I am a horrible mother and I am playing blog catch up - here is a bunch of random last month of school pictures I have that I didn't blog about.

For field day I made each of the kids class signs for them, it was kinda fun, mixed it up a bit besides just photo copying papers or helping out like that - Eli and Emma loved it - bless their hearts!

Emma is front and center -

 Eli is front row left side - of course with one of his Chandler Heat baseball hats on, he tried wearing that to school every day!

Eli finally went on his first field trip - the one and only one for the whole year - kind of a bummer - and I won't tell him, but it was the world's lamest field trip. We rode 45 minutes on a bus to see a 30 minutes puppet show of the 3 little pigs and then took the bus back for another 45 minutes, stopped at Tumbleweed park and ate lunch and played and then back to school it was...lame. But, he loved it and I was very grateful to be able to go with him! 

Atish, Eli, Noah, Santiago

 Jared got to do his first "Donuts with Dad" this year too. The dads came and made a small group of kids who didn't have dads there with them and they made bridges out of sticks to see whose could hold the most weight. Poor Jared was trying to get all fancy pants with his and took forever to build this masterpiece, while all the other dads just basically stacked theirs up on top of each other and stole Jared's sticks...I am pretty sure they lost for the most weight held, but won for coolest looking bridge :) Either way, hanging out together and eating donuts at school is awesome!

On the last day of school Emma and Eli both got picked for the "Triple R" award - neither of them knew they were getting it so we surprised them by showing up to the assembly to watch them - they were both shocked, it was fun to see their faces when their names were called off. Thanks Grandma Rodgers for coming and watching with us! 

 

 This was a sad day, it was the last day Emma and Maddie will ride a bus together. Eli really enjoyed having her on the bus too, she would always take care of him when Emma wasn't there and make sure he came to her house until I got there - we loved our second sister!

Stephanie and I took the twins to play at the San Tan splash pad to celebrate their last official day at home alone while the other are in school. It was bittersweet to say the least. After words, we picked up lunch for them. These kids are gonna miss hanging out together! 

Jared was sad he couldn't make it to their assemblies so he decided we needed to reward them for their good efforts in school and we all went out to Blue 32 for dinner that night and then picked up DQ for dessert! 

Eli is sad to be leaving Ryan - he says he is going to miss his friends....lucky for him, everyone loves him so he will have no trouble making new ones! Good bye 5th grade and kindergarten, Hello 1st grade and 6th grade - where is the time going?!
