End of the school year

Wow! It has been a while! Ive missed some things the last few months and just decided it would be better to start fresh than to try and go back and upload all of those pictures! This is mostly for my mom cause I don't think anyone else really checks this! =)

Anyway, this was the last week for school for Jaxon and Kenna. Other than ERB testing, they had a good time. Yesterday was the Epilogos (or the conclusion if you don't know Latin...I don't) for the 4th, 5th & 6th grades. Its actually an awards ceremony for those kids who excelled this year. As much as they would love to award every kid there just wasn't time for it so they awarded those with the highest achievements. To our surprise Jaxon received 3 different awards! I was shocked and in tears! I know he's a great kid and he works really hard but this school is full of smarty pants so you never know! These are the awards that he received:

1. For making the Headmasters List with a grade point average between 3.5 & 3.78
2. He received an award from his teacher for being one of the most diligent students through out the year
3. And he received the National Physical Fitness Award! (which was the only one that didn't totally surprise me since he is the 2nd fasted kid in the 4th-6th grade! He ran the mile in 6.58 min.)

We were so proud of him! After the Epilogos we headed to a park in Meridian and had a big picnic with the families of Foundations. Jaxon played soccer (of course), Kenna took the little boys on the giant blow up slide that was there about 15 times! She's such a good big sister! We are so so so proud of Kenna this year too. She worked so hard in school this year and she is moving on to the 2nd grade!!! Way to go Kenna! I just know that when you get to go to Epilogos, you'll get awards too!

Here is Jaxon receiving the NPFA award!
Proud Daddy!
