Ycamp -- oh yeaH!!

best way to kick off summer -- YCAMP!!

fun friends, beautiful weather, driving to wisconsin everyday --

oh yeah!!  fun, fun, fun!!!!

last day of third grade!!!!!

how did this happen?!!  really.
another school year has wrapped up -- but these two are still as
goofy as ever.  yes they make me smile :)

and this lady -- she made third grade a dream come true.  
i can't even put into words how much we love her and
how grateful we are for her.  she's a mom of her own 4 kids
and a teacher who is still a teacher way after school hours.
she was just what the girls' needed and beautifully combined
teaching with making connections -- teaching with nurturing -- 
teaching with having fun while learning.  zoe and ella did not
want the school year to end -- that's how much they loved 
spending their days in mrs. barth's classroom!! :)

and this photos just cracks me up -- best photo-bomb ever!!

after school fun with friends included some photos, some hoops,
and some park, frisbee golf and game fun too .....

yay for a an amazing third grade!!
yay for great friends and the start of a super fun summer!!!

teeth

little teeth. little mouths.  little teeth that need to be pulled out.

that seems to happen with these two quite often these days.

and it doesn't take long for those big spaces,
to be filled with big teeth ......   

love it, the no teeth or big teeth motto continues!!
