A Busy & Exciting Week for the Rico's!

The last week of school is always busy, but for the Rico family, it was a bit much for me to handle... physically and emotionally! First, my oldest graduated from Kindergarten! Yeah! Before the big day, he had a dance festival performance at the school, field day and many other "fun" days. But the big day came on Thursday. Of course my own class was doing all of the same things so I was as busy as Ethan was. Each day that we practiced for graduation, I would get a little choked up. I just figured it was because my son was graduated. When the big day came, I cried while handing out the diplomas to my class. Evidently, I was also sad about ending the school year and saying good bye to my own class. (What a SAP ha!)

I had to clean out my classroom the next day to get my stuff ready to be moved to the new school. The next day, I had a day long "Activity Girls Day Camp" to attend before getting Lexy ready for her dance show. That was lots of fun. While attempting to make it through this busy week, I have found myself sick as a dog! My body just knows when it can finally relax, then I get sick! I can't wait to feel better and get all of my summer plans started... like cleaning house, organizing, you know, all of those things that have been put on hold for the last 9 months of school! YEAH for SUMMER!

"I Want to be a Dancer!"

These were just a couple of pictures I got of her not looking at the other girls while she was dancing. I don't think she was very confident in knowing the steps so she spent a lot of time watching the other girls!

Lexy with her Dance teacher and the whole class together. Aren't they the cutest!

Ethan's BIG Day!

We are so proud of you Bud! You have grown so much this year, and have really done so well in school. It was a lot of fun to share this year with you teaching at Fox Hollow. Congratulations Ethan!! We love you so much!

In line to get his "diploma" and sitting with his classmates. He did a great job with his speaking part as well. I can't believe he is growing up so fast!

Ethan graduated with his best friend Landon... We have pictures of them as infants too... wouldn't it be funny to see them looking like this 12 years from now! I know they would love it!

We love Mrs. Peck! We'll miss you. (I say "We" because I got to work with this great teacher, and I will miss her too!)
