Graduation Party!

Off with the dresses and on with the shorts! Time to dance and party. The 8th graders had a great time dancing to music from the 80's, 90's and current. Abby even won the Limbo. I did not realize she was that flexible. I guess her volleyball helped strengthen her legs as she was able to make it under the stick.

Abby's Graduation

Abby graduated from 8th grade with the Best Citizenship Award. We were so proud of her. The graduation was very nice.

Emily Get's an Award

Emily received two awards at her school. The first was the fitness award, which was given to students who could run/walk the mile under 12 minutes, do 10 sit-ups and 10 push-ups. I was surprised only 50 out of about 150 students were able to pass the fitness test. Emily also received the Presidential Academic Award with 24 other students in her grade. I was very proud of her.

Emily's Birthday at the Beach

Emily had fun with a couple of friends at the beach where they got to hang out, play in the water, visit Balboa Island. The day was concluded as they were having a make over. Unfortunately, they all ended up with burns. They were changing in the bedroom and were supposed to put on the sunscreen. But the cat was lost and they discussed putting on the sunscreen after they found the cat. Then it was time to go so they talked about putting it on at the beach, but then we had lunch and they forgot. I felt terrible as I should have checked to make sure they put it on. Of course, I did not know about these conversations until it was too late, thinking they put it on in the bedroom. At least the burns were not too bad.

Emily's Birthday

Emily's Birthday started with her friend, over for dinner and opening her gift from us, an electric scooter. Craig plugged it in over night so she could ride it on her birthday.
