Goodbye 7th and 9th!

Spenser finished his 7th grade year this afternoon, amazing us with his academic and musical feats.  He wondered why he had to go to school when grades were done and all the teachers were doing was showing movies.  Rob wanted him to go to the last day of school and enjoy the "socialness" and finality of it.  I reminded Spenser of why Daddy might be making him go to school............so that he can come home from work early and video the whole thing - duh! 

Here he is catching Spenser and his friend Drew's arrival.

 
 
Of course he had to work it a little bit.
 
 
Some pics......
 





 
What did he want to do to celebrate the occasion?  Have chicken chili and cornbread!
 

 
 
 
 
It was Sienna's last day of freshman year today as well, and she was ECSTATIC to not see her dad videoing her getting off the bus.  She's just fine with a hug and a 'way to go!'  She's over the video fanfare.  She along with the symphonic band is playing the commencement ceremonies tonight at Perry High.  She too had an AMAZING freshman year, astounding us all with her academic and musical talents!  She was the Marching Band Rookie of the Year and Freshman Musician of the Year!  Wow!
 
We are very proud of both of them! 
 
They deserve a break so off to California we go!

NJHS

Tomorrow is the last day of school for both Sienna and Spenser, which reminded me that I neglected to report that Spenser was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society two weeks ago.   Unfortunately, I wasn't there because I was at the Miranda Lambert concert so Rob had proud parent duty all alone that night.
 
Here he is walking across the stage to receive his certificate.


 
Proud dad.
 


Here is his certificate showing his membership.  Now he just has to keep up those good grades


and do volunteer hours both on and off campus.

Great job Buddy!

 Thank you to my lovely daughter Sienna for the walk down memory lane.

What a lovely and thoughtful present, although the best gifts I have are my daughter and my son.

Happy Mother's Day!
