5th Grade Texas Trip

 Because of Covid, Caden wasn't able to go on the Texas Trip.  Annabelle was looking forward to going two days down to Austin.  On the bus ready to go: Annabelle, Elena Forsythe, Hadley Sullivan, and Lilly Stueve.

Lunch stop.

First stop was the state capitol building.

They arrived at the camp they stayed at and were able to zipline.

The next morning Annabelle played basketball with the boys.  Then they headed to lunch.  Clockwise from left: Annabelle, Lee Robertson, Sam Jeffries, James Edwards, Tripp Rector, Damien Cummings, Kaleb Baker, Bennett Walker, Miller Rodriguez, and Larkin Brazeal.

The next week the girls had a combined bridal shower (for Ms Yohe) and baby shower (for Mrs Walton) before school one day.

Spring Fling

 Laura has been planning Spring Fling for a few months now.  The four coordinators: Alison Stueve, Laura, Amanda Sullivan, and Katy Cleary.

Annabelle's class is excited and ready for their last Spring Fling!

Annabelle, Makenna Cleary, Hadley Sullivan, Lily Thompson, and Hannah Ratliff ready for the games to begin.

Because of the forecast, we had to move the opening ceremonies indoors.

The 5th grade Super Hero mascot was Gas Man.

Outside to the games.  Annabelle on the inflatable obstacle course.

Waiting for the next game rotation.

Halfway through the games, a thunderstorm hit, so all the kids had to head back to their classrooms.  Then back to the closing ceremonies.

After the lightning passed, our kids were able to get some extra playing time on the inflatables.

Caden's 13th Birthday

 I can't believe Caden is a teenager!  Because I've been busy planning Spring Fling, we decided to wait until summer to have a party.

Caden got an iphone for his birthday.

Caden is now 5'6".  I decided to take a picture back to back, since I don't think he will be shorter than me for much longer. 

Caden is enjoying his first season of Logic baseball.  There are only 3 8th graders on the team, and none of the boys (7th or 8th grade) have much baseball experience, so it's been a learning year.

Grandparents' Day 2024

 As Annabelle wraps up the last few months of Grammar School, there are a lot of lasts.  And since Covenant Grandparents' Day is only for Grammar School, so this was our last one.

Annabelle and a few friends won pickleball with the 5th grade teachers at the auction.  Annabelle loves this group of teachers, and she had so much fun!
