Walker's Kindergarten Graduation

Wednesday, June 3rd was Walker's

last day of school and his

kindergarten graduation!

A day we will never, ever forget!!!

2009 South Bosque Elementary Kindergarten Graduation...

Hard to believe in two years,

Little Miss will be at this school.

Walker's Big Moment!!!

Officially a FIRST GRADER!!!

When his class walked out, Walker was sure

to give Haddie some love and then he gave

PaPa five! It was too cute!!!

I wish I could put the entire video on here,

the songs the kindergarten sang were precious!!!

Walker's group did a great job on their speaking part:

"Our teachers think we're really great,

that's why we get to graduate!"

Walker knew all the words and motions.

He sang his little heart out! LOVED it!!!

The last song they sang was

"First Grade, First Grade"set to the song

"New York, New York"

ADORABLE!!!

Somebody was very happy to hug and

congratulate her Big Brother, the Graduate..

Graduation Reception...

Walker was so happy!!!

One of the dear moms from the class painted

this platter for Mrs. H. Isn't it the BEST?!?

The class all contributed to the platter and

two gift cards for our amazing teacher...

Mrs. H loved it!!!

I am so proud of this little boy...

I wasn't the only proud one there...

Walker was in such a sweet class!

He loves his friends!!!

An answered prayer right here...

Walker's beautiful and sweet teacher!!!

Wahooooooooo...

Walker won the art award again!

We are so proud of all of his awards this year!!!

During the graduation ceremony, I just kept

thanking God for my sweet son and his amazing

first year of school. Don't you just love

moments like that?!? When you are just

filled with gratitude for God???

Graduation gifts from the grandparents...

we were so glad they came!!!

Before going out for lunch,

we went home and Haddie just had to

ring the door bell with Walker's gift!!!

Talk about EXCITEMENT!!!

Walker's gift was a Blu-Ray Collector's Edition

Lightning McQueen! Only a certain number

were made and Walker has been stalking Ebay

(and us!) for one of these forever!!!

This was a VERY big deal to Walker.

Troy ordered it on his own for his son.

Now if Walker will just keep it in its special case!!!

That afternoon was a graduation pary for Walker

and five of his friends from Pre-K.

They are all still friends and love to see

each other when they can. Their moms and I

all became friends that year of Pre-K, too...so

it's fun for us to get together like this!

Here is the gang!!! Luckily next year all of

the boys will be at the same elementary except for

one, but we'll still include him in everything!

Wonder if they'll all remain buds until

they're seniors...I hope so! My Kelli G was

in my kindergarten class and look at us now!

Little boys are so fun & cute...

Especially this one, he's my favorite...

A perfect day!!

Walker...

Mommy & Daddy couldn't be prouder.

You have been an absolute CHAMP in

kindergarten. You have been kind to

your teachers and friends, you have

behaved, and you have learned SO much

(including how to read & do some math).
Most of all, you have given 110%

and that is what makes us most proud.

We are so very thankful for the

sweet & fun blessing you are to us.

You are one of a kind!!!

Here we come 2021!!!

(But please not so fast!)

Are you kidding me?!?

Seriously, wasn't it yesterday that

I wrote this post about Walker

starting kindergarten?!?

Tomorrow Walker graduates from

kindergarten!!! HOLD ME.

Today was a splash/mud day

for the kindergarten classes.

Come on, it really wasn't nine months ago that I wrote this post about how AWESOME Walker did on his first day of kindergarten?!? All I can say is that the Good Lord answered my prayers for an awesome kindergarten year in an abundant way. This is a kid who has loved going to school every single day this year...

Especially today because of this:He LOVED the mud...imagine that?!?

Here's a shocker...most of the kids didn't get this much mud on them!?!?!

Walker...may you always have lots of friends and love them like you do. And may you always have this much fun!!!

If I could have hand picked Walker's kindergarten teacher out of all the teachers in the world, she would have been it...Tomorrow just might be a tear jerker while at the same time I am so, so excited!!! Walker has been a wild man all day and night. I was really on his case trying to get him to behave tonight and he interrupts me with this, "Mommy, would you marry me?"Hugging, loving and praying for my precious kindergarten boy more than ever!
