Makenna 5th Grade at OneTrueMedia.com

Where Did I Leave off?????

Once again got to catch you up on a lot! Here we go..... 

First off- Look no braces!! Makenna got her braces off and now just has a retainer.  We are hoping they stay off!!

Lexi ran another 5k for St Patricks Day.  She got her time down to 29:04!  She won 2nd in her division (12 and under) and Popa and Grammy got to see her!

My Parents and I went to the history museum, that is one cool place! 

Kindergarten Dance- Ben and Anderson dancing away! 
The 3rd through 5th grade dance-  My girls chose to represent the 80's

Lexi and Makena




Lexi is so crazy!

Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt!  This picture is such my kids- Makenna the constant I must do things right, Lexi must pose and be beautiful, Ben the crazy one!
 
Got some eggs
 
Dying Eggs



 
Ben had his 6th Birthday!! He wanted all things tae kwon do!!



 
He asked for a cookie cake shaped like his uniform and a broken board.  Cookie cake does NOT shape well, but I tried!


 I got to eat lunch with him at school that day!!
 
Lexi and Makenna did a pageant together, here they are getting ready
 
Mardi Gras Wear

 
Working there fun wear

 
Gown time






 
Love this Picture!
 
Makenna won Miss Mardi Gras Grand Supreme (which means she got the highest score of everyone 8-17).  That really surprised her and us!

 
Lexi won Young Miss Mardi Gras queen for 8-10 year olds





Why are mustache's the cool thing these days??

It is almost out!! Ben was so nervous to lose a tooth!
 
He is cracking me up here!  He is crying saying he wants it to stick back in!!!

 
Yeah- he lost it!
 
Makenna and I got to see Taylor Swift again with her good friend Lily!


 
We were really close this time, sorry the picture quality isn't good I could only use my cell phone!

 
Ben decided one day using scissors for his hair would be a great idea- not so much!!
 
 
Lexi was excited to lose another tooth!
 
Here is Ben at his kindergarten musical.  They did nursery rhymes and his class was humpty dumpty.
 
Best Buds!
 
Ben tested for a new belt!  He is now a Yellow belt- here is class getting their new belts!
 
So happy!


 
He also got a special belt this time, it is student of the session.  It means for the last 2 months he tried super hard, showed respect, practiced, and showed commitment to tae kwon do.  Only one kid per testing group gets this, so he was excited!!

 
Checking out his new belts!
Classic Ben face- this face normally means he is really happy and can't believe he got it!
 
Muddy soccer!  


 
We set a record for most rain in 24 hours that day, and they still played!
 
Makenna had field day and then a class party.  I am the room mom and we decided on minute to win it games.  Fun times!!





 
Kenna's teacher owns a beautiful lake house and hosted an end of the year lake party!  
 
Kenna and Ms. Thomas, her teacher!


 
Lexi and Ben had fun too!
 
A lot of her class!
 
Here is her whole class getting ready for the 5th Grade performance, they represented the 50's.  Hope you enjoyed the little video of this!



 
Ben's last soccer game.  He really finished strong.  Lexi took the pictures of him playing, I coach so she helps me out.  She likes to make everything look as if he runs up hill. :)





 My crazy team
 
Here is Kenna all ready for her 5th grade ceremony!

 Her class all looking spiffy!
 
Walking in and getting ready to be promoted to middle school!!

Getting her certificate

 
Good Friends


I gave Makenna my phone so she can take pictures of their celebration.  So here she is having a fun filled afternoon!




 
She also had an end of the year soccer party.  We are missing Lily here, but here they are with their coach!
 
Oh, sad baby.  They do this walk where all the 5th graders wear their new middle school shirts, they get in a HUGE line, turn on the Celebrate song, and all the 4th- kindergarten classes line the hall to cheer on and high 5 all the 5th graders.  She realized she is going to middle school and elementary school is done, and got a little sad!
 
Ms Thomas and her good friend
 
2 best buddies on their last day of kindergarten
 
Ms. Richardson and Ben
 
Lexi and Ms Stagman
 
Lexi teacher co teaches with another teacher, so half of her day is spent with Ms. Stagman and half is with Mr. Singleton

Here they are, finished the year off!  They are now 6th, 4th, and 1st graders!!


School's out neighborhood party.  Water balloons, silly string, and ice cream!! I love our neighborhood!
