Not a bad start with date night at Ballast Point. Then the beginning of Kaylee's turn to be scholar of the week at school which she gets to take Sammy the Seal class pet home then post the pictures of his adventures during the week on the class site.
That Saturday was non-stop. Soccer first, help building the playground at school next, then a daisy tea party, followed by Hailey's Birthday party, finishing down the street with a Birthday/College Graduation party for Taylor. On Sunday, we just prepared for the upcoming week. We built a bottle buddy of Walt Disney, and gathered items for Kaylee's scholar week.
Daddy took lunch time on Wednesday to have lunch at school with the girls and Mommy then read a book to Kaylee's class. The book fair was also that week along with Open House where the girls showed us all the amazing things that they along with their teachers have worked hard to put together. Everyone put in so much time and effort! We also went around and introduced ourselves to the 2nd and 4th grade teachers for next year... yikes. Cienna put on her first full production of Sleeping Beauty as Merryweather to the 2nd and 3rd grade classes.
As a start to Memorial Day weekend, the girls made and omelet and toast breakfast for Daddy before we picked up his truck after getting a new paint job on the roof. Sunday we had breakfast at Crooked Duck fueling up for a big hike to the Hollywood sign, then having the Marshall's over to play that evening. Memorial Day was great at home, the girls got some things from neighbors that were cleaning out there old toys and we made delicious ribs with broccoli.
The following week was Cienna's big and final Merryweather roll in Sleeping Beauty for all who wanted to come, Kaylee had her first of many date night deserts and there was field day at school.
That weekend we did a little more prep for Kaylee's party the next weekend before heading to Chula Vista for the girl's State gymnastics meet. They both competed level 3 and did an outstanding job! We were all SO proud of them. We were lucky enough to get to stay with the Sklenicka's and spend some quality time with Jackson along with Joe and Dana. During the week we had a Daisy meeting and Kaylee got a fun as always birthday gift from Auntie Bridget and Vicki.
More parties came as we went to celebrate Dylan's 5th before hosting a very successful vacation destination party for Kaylee's 7th. Before each destination they got to watch an amazing slideshow made by Daddy of the place they would be going. They stood in ice water and played fun games in Antarctica, then flew to Hawaii to make lei's and play limbo before heading to Italy for pizza and pasta. The final destination was to Kaylee's house for cake and celebrating.
The last week of school was then here. There was not much learning going on, but it sure was fun-filled. Cara's birthday party was that Wednesday, then the last day of school which happened to also be a special young lady by the name of Kaylee's 7th birthday. It started off with Strawberry Shortcake for breakfast, pizza party at school, then all of a sudden school was out for summer. Here we come 2nd and 4th grade.... WOW. Kaylee made her choice to go bowling with the family since Mommy and Daddy both took off work early to hang out. After bowling at the arcade the girls actually hit the jackpot in the ticket spin of 1000 tickets! They decided on a used real bowling pin as their prize. After the arcade we went to Claim Jumper for dinner and her last date night desert!
To complete the month Kaylee bridged to Brownies and Cienna's troop had a cookie reward party.
Cienna finally used Daddy's old Polaroid camera and her film to take her first picture. It was of the Hollywood sign. Her class went to the Planetarium for a field trip. She was in the toughest division for the State meet but her 9.2 score on the bars got her on the podium in 4th place which she was extremely proud. Being Merryweather was also very rewarding and fun for her. She had many lines to learn and nailed them all. In school she really enjoyed being able to do all her school work in cursive.
Kaylee really enjoyed bringing Sammy the Seal to take pictures with for her Scholar week. She lost her 3rd tooth in the top middle but still no sign of any growing in. It's been since November since the first on the top. Her class trip was to the Discovery Science Center. After tripping up on her first vault which was her first event she got right back up and got a 9.05 on her second one. For her Birthday Party she had the best idea of changing outfits with each destination! Then she turned 7. There are no words to explain how proud we are of how she's grown in what seemed to be such a short amount of time. My eyes are now too blurry to write more about that.
Welcome summer and next month we'll get to start by writing about our first week which we get to spend together on a camping vacation!!
