a terrific kid



I am so proud of Emma!

In the last post, Jason was bragging about Emma (we are shameless, I know). So then what do we find in her folder today?

Emma has been selected as the Terrific KId from her class. Every 6 weeks, one child is selected from each class that has shown positive character traits. Emma is the first one of the year from her class!

The school is going to have a celebration program for those kids this Friday. We are so proud of our big girl!

the first day of school

Last week Emma reached an important milestone in her life. She began kindergarten. I am so thankful that she loves school and is so excited to go.

Emma is starting school at Richland Elementary. Jason and I have been so impressed by the school! We had heard wonderful things prior to Emma attending so I am thankful that we get attend. The parent involvement at Richland is incredible. I am also thankful that we got the teacher I wanted, Mrs. Hunt. Such a sweet lady!

This is Emma standing outside the school waiting for the bell to ring. The start time is 7:30. We have some major adjusting to do! Well, mainly Momma since she is not a morning person.
The kids have to wear uniforms at Richland. I have to say I really don't mind. I don't have to think too much about what she is going to wear in the morning. Also, I don't have to worry about her outfits getting ruined.

The styling new backpack she picked out for this year.

With the matching stylish lunchbox...


We could not get Emma to look at us once we got inside so we could get a picture. She just wanted to get in and start her day. I had to ask her to give me a hug. I think I am the one with the separation problem...


This will be her first full week of school. Richland also offers so many extra-curricular activities after school. Emma decided she wants to do gymnastics, and it starts tomorrow. My big girl will be staying after school. How scary... for me!

wizard of oz... the party

Cupcakes from Muddy's. Yum, yum!





Emma was so excited about this card. Mrs. Kim did well!



The girls were so blessed with all the wonderful gifts. We are so thankful for our friends and family!

Then, it was time for the pinata. We used the witch's broom to hit the pinata. The girls were really swinging!
See the poppy tissue flowers in the background? They were so cute!


We had to cheat a little to get the candy flowing. Otherwise, we might have been there all night.
