Carter the Kindergarten Graduate!



He has the first year of elementary school under his belt. He did it! He survived! I'm sure the teachers are thankful that the year is now over, yet going to miss him like crazy. I'm sure he entertained them a lot, yet probably needed a little help in the listening department:) Regardless of how he was at school, he had a lot of fun and has grown up tons.

He learned:
to read
the pledge of allegiance
to sing the star spangled banner
memorized parts of Declaration of Indepence
to get along well with others
to have FUN at recess
to count to 100
to do homework
to count money
to write his first and last name
to follow directions

Wow! What a learning year for him!

They had a real ceremony complete with diplomas given out by the principal. Carter thought he was really BIG stuff.


Look how proud he is to have the diploma in his hand. He was beaming and grinning from ear to ear! It was so funny to watch him walk across the stage. If he could of ran and skipped across it, he would of:)


We really missed daddy. He was in San Francisco for a business trip. Luckily, grandma Sue got to come with us. Thanks mom!

My cute niece, Jessica, watched Blakley while I went to the program. (Thanks Jess, I was able to seat through the whole thing without getting up:)) While we were there, Jess and Blakley made Carter a candy necklace. That made the day complete!! He felt like he was big like the 9th grade graduates!

We survived Kindergarten! I am going to have such a hard time when school starts up again. He will be in school all day long with his brothers. I am going to miss him and so will Blakley. She follows him around all day long. We're going to be a little lost without him. Good Luck in 1st grade Buddy!

Oohhhh... I hate it when they go to 1st grade. It is such a huge adjustment. Plus I hate not having them home all day. What track did you guys get for next year. We got D again. We need to do a movie some time women.
