Kindergarten is behind us

Welcome to the Palace....
My parents, along with other great people,
put this 3rd Awards Banquet together for the PHA kids.

My dad drew the palace and crown (and helped the whole evening)
and my mother was a decorator, planner, overseer, etc.



PHA Kindergarten Class of 2010
Ethan said he wants to be a policeman, but doesn't want to live to far away from home.


Ethan and his wonderful teacher....
Ethan did fantastic in his work during school and is reading so well.
(I found this site that I love. It is so much fun listening to Ethan read aloud. starfall.com)

Today is your day.
You're off to great places!
You're off and away! ~Dr. Seuss

The future lies before you
Like a field of driven snow,
Be careful how you tread it,
For every step will show

A couple people commented on how they remembered Shawn at his K Graduation - and that Ethan looks just like he did all those years back.
He got a Scripture trophy, Honor Roll trophy,
and a Medal that was for a Character Trait he portrayed: Kind
Papa, Nana and Ethan
Papaw, Mawmaw & Ethan
Principal (Uncle) Scott with Ethan
Papaw Kuhn had put $ in his graduation card and
wrote that if he could count it, he could have it. Ethan's response to that - "Cool!"
...here he is putting the $ in his inside pocket.
--The Awards Banquet was on Thursday which was the last event/day of school for him. Ethan asked if he had to go to school on Friday. Poor kid. He doesn't know what Summer Break means...he's never had one before!
--I told Ethan on Thursday that someone said to tell him "Congratulations!" "What for?", he asked.

Summer Break ...and then FIRST GRADE!

So Happy

Shawn and I, along with the boys, sang a song for Sunday School. The theme of our song selection was 'Happiness'. I had wanted to have Morgan sing to, but she is not ready. She knew 3 key words really well, but when you actually made her sit still and sing - oh, boy! A tear would escape and she would half sing, half sob as she tried to say 'happy'. It was hilarious!
