Wow, the end of the school year flew by, yet dragged at the same time! :-) We went later, date-wise, into May than we ever had and it was hard on everyone. Add in recitals, new jobs, and end-of-year craziness we are beat.
HOWEVER, both Amelia and Cooper passed their final exams with flying colors and are now officially a SENIOR and a FRESHMAN. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around that. This year will be all of Amelia's "lasts". Here's a quick wrap up of our school year:
Hanging out with family camping and learning driving skills.
Cooper's 14th birthday party! He has a fantastic group of friends, most of which he's had since 4th grade. They are a good, fun group that are so kind.
Cooper had his final ballroom recital, guitar recital and choir concert. He's doing so well in all, he's a talented kid!
Amelia's final ballet recital. Her solo was AMAZING! She's grown so much as a dancer. Her hard work has paid off beautifully!
She has the best group of ballet friends!
She also had a fabulous time at prom! (Still waiting for pictures, but I'll post what I have.)
Amelia also had her last orchestra concert. Her first song was 27 minutes long. 😬Thankfully, the last one was from Star Wars and much shorter. The file is too big to post, but I'll work on trimming it.
Lastly, our summer will be full and busy! We all have summer jobs so there won't be much down time. Amelia is working at the movie theater, Cooper at Jason's mechanic shop, and I'm teaching summer school.
And finally, our yearly end-of-school dinner at Pizza Pie Cafe:
Whew! I'll post more when I take more pictures of our adventures! We're all happy school is over and looking forward to some relaxation.....in between jobs of course! 😆
