Schools Out for Summer!

Please tell me someone else just sang that title in their heads just like I did when I typed it:)

Anyways as the title says it is officially summer break! Wyatt had his last day of school on Wednesday and we went to pick his report card up today, and much to my dismay it stated that he had been promoted to the 4th grade! No I am not sad he passed his 3rd grade year (really with straight A's we had no fear) but what I am having a hard time with is OMG he is a 4th grader which means only 2 more years of elementary school and then I will have a middle schooler! How did this happen? How has my baby boy grown so fast? He has done so well in school and made awesome friends this year I can't wait to see what the upcoming school year holds for him. I do know that I hope he gets one of the two teachers I want, one is his former 2nd grade teacher and the other is a friend of ours. I told Wyatt they may end up fighting over him :)

They handed out school awards last week and Wyatt received 3 awards! One for zero behavior marks (infact he has gone all 4yr k-3rd with never receiving one); one for principles list (all A's all year long); and one for Most Outstanding Boy in his class!


Also with the end of the school year it means another hard to think of topic. Kindergarten! as in Abby is officially a Kindergartener! I signed her up the other day during early registration now I am faced with OMG both of my kids will be in school next year! She is beside herself with excitement, I am nervous. Mainly cause as I mentioned before Wyatt has made a very hard to live up to reputation for her to follow in. I am afraid I may have to do some serious sucking up to the teacher at the start of the year to get her to immediately fall for Abby so that she will forgive her for everything she may put her through during the school year:)

So much to talk about

Well after a long hard week I have returned to the Internet world, much to Shane's dismay. My computer died on me and after a couple days at the computer guy he told me I needed a new hard drive.

There has been lots going on in the Stokes house. We will start with of course baseball. We won our game last weekend and had this weekend off. So now we stand at 5-0-1 which puts us in 2nd place out of 14 5yr old teams. We have 3 games left and they will be tough ones but I think our guys and girls are ready for it, then we have the playoffs.

Here is a pic of Wyatt with his game ball from last Saturday he had an awesome game, made all 3 outs in one inning and made a couple more during the game. He got some great hits also.


Next more about Wyatt he is officially no longer a Kindergartner and is now a 1st Grader!! The past two weeks have really been relaxed with lots of fun times had at school. He went for his last day Fri and will just go to pick his report card up Wed. I am sure I will shed some tears. To think I was so afraid to send him and now I am so sad that it is over. I really enjoyed his teacher and felt she was a great influence on him during the past 9 months. It was hard to turn him over to another woman since I had always been with him from the start. I was so glad she really fell for Wyatt and really enjoyed having him in her class. Last week they held an awards ceremony and Wyatt received 2 medals both believe it or not for great behavior!! One was No Marks, and the other was Citizen of the Year (which is the top award for the class). Yes I couldn't believe it either, I joke and tell her she needs to share her secrets with me on getting him to be a perfect angel. I will definitely miss her and her aide next year.

Here is Wyatt with his medals

We had a nice long weekend and spent most of it outside in the gorgeous weather. We got the kids a big pool to play in, Shane and dad built a cover thing for his boat & we had my dad and Shane's mom over for dinner last night. We awoke this morning to a hose spraying water from under our kitchen sink not sure how long it had been spraying but there was lots of water, luckily my hubs is handy and is in there fixing it right now, then we spent most of the day outside before the rain started and then the kids played on the Wii.

Here is just a pic of Abby at Wyatt's school water day where the fire department comes and sprays the kids with the fire hose. She is really gonna miss school also she loves getting to go to class and play with the big kids I have been lucky his teacher loved having her there.
