June 2010

Summer has begun! We have had a wonderful full week of summer vacation and we are starting our second! The school year went so quickly it is hard to believe we are into summer vacation already! Here are a few of the updates for our family!

Nilla finished her first year of school and will now be in the 1st grade next year! WOW! She did a fantastic job and her teacher was a blessing to have and I was lucky to be able to be a volunteer in the classroom! Nilla was also asked to be on the training team for gymnastics which is a big commitment and one we are not ready to make. She has wonderful skills and I am so proud of her for having the opportunity but we are passing this year. It is an 11 month commitment and she would be required to be at gymnastics 4 hours a week. Maybe next year! Nilla also finished her second year of dance and had a fantastic recital! I am so proud of how much she has grown up in the last year. She got to be a "helper" in Cecillia's 6 week class and I think that really gave her the drive to be the best she can and she did a fantastic job! This summer we will continue with Progression gymnastics, T-ball, & swimming lessons. We are blessed to have great friends in all of those activities so it will be a fantastic summer! Next adventure will be her 6th birthday bowling party!!! Can't wait to bowl with some of Nilla's friends and cousins!




Cecillia completed her 1st year of preschool and did such a great job! She also had a wonderful teacher, one I have been privileged to get to know over the years since it was Nilla's first year preschool teacher! We look forward to working on some of our writing skills and other important stuff over the summer and go back to 5c's 3 days a week next year! Cecillia is continuing gymnastics and doing such a great job! We also had her in a few sample sessions of dance and she had fun and may be able to join dance next year. Like Nilla, Cecillia will be in gymnastics and swimming lessons so we will be busy this summer! Her birthday is closer to the end of the summer and I look forward to celebrating with family & friends (DC family too!!).



Holton boy has turned 1!!!!!!! I can't believe how time flies! He is such a strong and enjoyable little guy! It is fun to see his way of communicating! He points at everything! He will holler until he gets your attention and then he points! Too dang cute! He is a walker now which is is surprising as he can crawl soooo fast! He continues to love up his sisters and give a side smile to anyone who will look. He is such a little flirt! He says da da, ma ma, (not necessarily at us but in general) all done, hot and continues to sponge up all he can!






Trevor and I are doing great! We are so lucky to have such a wonderful family and I really have soaked in all of the joy this family supplies! I am thankful for three healthy happy children and for the work that has kept Trevor and the crew busy. We have been enjoying the weather and our great neighbors. We have a great family close to us and have enjoyed spending time with them and is excited to spend more time with them this summer!
