Awards

During the fall, Hadlee noticed

that she was never getting to go

on stage for an Outstanding Progress

Award like some of her friends.

Walker was QUICK to inform

her that she should not want one

of those awards because they mean

you started out NOT good at something

and then got better.  He had never

received one nor did he want one of

those awards!  ;)  Silly boy!...

But needless to say, Hadlee

took this information from her

Big Brother to heart and made

it clear she no longer

wanted one of those awards!!!

Well, fast forward to the last week of

the school year and I receive a note

letting us know that Hadlee would

be receiving an Outstanding Progress

Award!!!!!!!!!!!  And it was to be

a surprise on the day before school

was out.  I had no idea how Hadlee

would take this...would she remember

Big Bro's words of wisdom;)?  ha!

I warned Walker and made it clear

to him that he was to cheer his

heart out for her and make it known

that this award was a huge,

positive deal!!!  Troy went to

see it all go down....

Hadlee was perfectly precious

and so proud!!!!!!!!!!!

Posing with her Principal,

Mr. Everett.....

Mrs. Decker told me that she

was trying to decide who would get

this last award and it just had to be

Hadlee.  Sweet Girl really couldn't read

when she started kindergarten and

was really only writing her name. 

By the end of the year, she was taking

AR tests constantly (AMAZING her

mama with that!) AND she could pretty

much spell out and write anything!

Mrs. Decker really deserves an award

for her incredible teaching!!! 

So proud of our girl!!!!!!

Just couldn't even try to be more proud of her:)

Ms. Swafford gave out class awards. 

In fact, she had the students vote. 

Walker received "Best Boy Athlete"

and "Fastest Boy Runner"!

You go, Stud Muffin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But better than that, he received

ribbons for All A's All Year

which is the Principal's Award and

a Citizenship Award.

That one means the most to

this mama!!!  May he always be nice.

TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Having two children in school

was quite an experience this year.

Just such a huge change...

I had not realized just how much

busier we would be. 

But what a wonderful busy to be!!!

It was a fantastic year

in kindergarten and third grade:)

I will most of all always treasure

their "Star Student" awards

they both received separately in

the fall.  Those represent them

doing good things and being

nominated and chosen for it.

Troy and I are so blessed

and feel overwhelmingly proud

of Walker, Hadlee

and our little Huds, too!  ;)

A day will never go by that

we don't pray for our

sweet loves AND thank the

Good Lord above for them!!! 

We always thank God,

the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

when we pray for you.
