It's Official..... Only a Summer Away from 2nd Grade!!!!

Sigh...... I have been really emotional this week just thinking about how fast my kiddos are growing up. As of today Zoee has officially finished 1st grade! I cannot believe it. She has learned so much and is so smart (yes I know I am a little biased!) She has mixed emotions as well. She is super excited to be out of school for the summer so we can enjoy sleeping in, hanging by the pool and of course spending as much time at the beach as possible, but she was really attached to her wonderful teacher this year, and was really sad to say goodbye. Thank you Mrs. Pridgen for your kind, gentle spirit and loving my special girl so well this year:)

Here are a few pics from the last day of school:

Zoee and her friends hiding in their cubbies. She doesn't exactly look to thrilled to be leaving huh?? Poor thing.... I really felt sorry for her!


Zoee & Mrs. Pridgen



Zoee's teacher had each student's stories from the year made into a precious scrapbook!



Each student receives a Fruit of the Spirit Award. The award is based on the special quality that the student displays. Zoee received the Peace award. Mrs. Pridgen said that, "When Zoee walks in the room she is at total peace. We talk about jewelery and shoes (haha!) and she is the first one to say (if there is a problem) we just need to stop and pray about it".

Congratulations on doing such a spectacular job in 1st grade Zoee!!! You make me and daddy so incredibly proud and we love you so much!!!!!
