Angelia's last day of 1st grade! (6/16/2011)

Another year of Elementary School completed by Angelia... today was her last day of 1st grade!


This was the last time the little ones would walk to school to pick-up their big sister from school... the next time we go to pick-up, I'll be making this trip alone-- on my way to pick up all 4 of them (in the Fall)! Wow-- reality check!


Angelia had another awesome teacher this year, Miss Smith! She was great, Angelia loved her, she was great to my little ones-- allowing them to come to & join class parties, etc., and she taught Angelia so much! Thank you for everything, Miss Smith!

We made a scrapbook for Miss Smith, too! Again-- kids so proud and their teacher-- smiling with tears of joy! :)




The principal & a teacher in the school gave this Llama to Angelia in recognition of how much she has "grown" this year. (The Llama is from the book "Llama, Llama, I miss my Mama") We had a bit of a tough time with Angelia throughout the school year, crying when I would leave her in the morning, so these 2 ladies played a big role in comforting her and getting her over that little "phase". I thank them for all of their help! :)


Angelia-- Mommy is SO proud of you and can't believe you are already going into 2nd grade! You have grown so much yet again this year and I couldn't be prouder of all you have done. Mommy loves you so much! Yay for 1st grade and off to 2nd grade you go, my Baby Girl!

Easter parties at school! (4/15/2011)

Spring Break is next week and Easter is arund the corner, so we have to celebrate before we go on Break!

The Triplets had an Easter party with lots of yummy treats then headed outside for an Easter Egg Hunt and then sang Easter/Spring songs (who remembers the song "Little Bunny Foo Foo"? ... lol) It was really cute and the kids we SO excited and had a blast!





After I finished with the Triplets' party, I headed over to Angelia's school where she, too, had a party & an Easter Egg Hunt!



What a nice & fun way to finish up and head into Spring Break!

FUN at school! (4/2011)

This week, the kids had a few out-of-the-ordinary FUN things to do at school!

The Triplets had "Pajama Day" where they got to wear their PJ's to school... they were SO excited about this! :)


Angelia performed in a little Talent Show at her school for the 1st time! My Angelia is very shy, especially when it comes to being in front of others, and I was happily surprised to hear she was going to dance/perform in the Talent Show-- and she actually did it! It was an activity done by the school's music teacher to get them up on stage in front of other, show off their talent, etc. Angelia & her friends did good... dancing away on Stage!


Angelia-- Mommy is so proud of you for performing in today's show! You did a great job up there! I love you!

Holiday parties at school! (12/2010)

As expected, the kids were "partying it up" at school for the holidays!
At PreK, the triplets had their holiday party with lots of treats and then gathered for a surprise visitor--> SANTA!! Santa met with each child, each child got a special gift, and then the kids gave back to Santa by performing for him and all of the parents that came out. It was really cute & the kids did a GREAT job!
**The kids with their teachers... Miss Theresa & Miss Sarah... the kids love them both!




The next day, Angelia's class celebrated and again-- a great time had by all. The kids watched the Polar Express that morning, so they got to wear their robes and slippers for the occassion. My "little elves" came for the party, too... they were lovong life hanging out with the "big kids" at their party!


It was a really fun-filled 2 days with all of the school parties! :)

Angelia's class trip to the Pumpkin Patch! (10/13/2010)

Just like in Kindergarten, we took the annual class trip to the Pumpkin Patch this Fall season! We were blessed with a beautiful day and the kids had a lot of fun. I am happy I got to go with her on yet another school trip... I enjoy seeing all of the kids having so much fun and for some-- taking part in this experience for the 1st time. 'm sure I'll find myself back here again NEXT YEAR with the triplets! :)

Angelia's 1st day of 1st grade! (9/7/2010)

Wow... I cannot believe she's starting 1st grade ALREADY!!! It seems like just yesterday I was walking her to school for her 1st day of Kindergarten and here it is an entire year later and she's off to 1st grade! With her pretty dress on, a new bookbag in hand, and a big smile on her face, we all walked Angelia to school -- Doris & Aunt Sharon came along for the 1st trek of the year, as well -- and waited with her 'til she went into her new classroom... in addition to the hugs & kisses I gave her, the triplets were sure to send her off with hugs, too!













At the end of the day, she came out ALL SMILES! I think it's going to be another great year for her.
Good luck in 1st grade, Angelia! We all love you VERY much!
