Kindergarten Graduation

I can't believe Allie is already done with Kindergarten. I blinked and it happened. She loved every minute of school, especially her teacher, Mrs. Beaudry and all of her friends. She is very social. Her reading and writing have improved and she is doing awesome in math...so ready for first grade! Her teacher was sick on the last day of school (so sad) so we didn't get any pictures of her! We'll have to stop by on the first day next year and get one with her!

Everyone's parents had flowers or candy necklaces etc. for them and then here we are with nothing. Allie asked us so sweetly, "Do I have anything?" Well Allie, we get snowcones on the last day of Kindergarten!! That made her pretty happy :)

One of her best friends, Eli, was in her class but he was gone before we could get a picture with him. Luckily he lives down the street and we got one with him and his siblings later.

Allie turned six!!

When all our family was here for Cambree's blessing, we celebrated Allie's, Kelly's, and my dad's birthdays together with a big Costco cake!

Hey party people!

Hula Hoop from Marc and Kelly

Jammies from Mattie and Ben

Kite from Nan and Pa G

Razor scooter from Nan and Pa C and Amy

On her actual birthday we went to Jump Time! The girls actually earned this award together for good behavior so we decided it would be fun to go on her birthday!

Lunch with dad at Idaho Pizza!

Presents!

Pure joy right here! She got Frozen, which came out on her birthday and she had NO idea! That expression is priceless!

Rainboots (which she asked for)

And an umbrella (which she asked for)

She also received some money from Grandma June so she wanted to go shopping at Target of course. She found glowsticks and a Periwinkle doll.

And we topped it off with an ICEE and selfies!

Everyday for a week this girl asked me countless times a day if it was going to rain...8 days after her birthday it DID! And she was pretty happy to try out her umbrella and boots :)

Kindergarten

It happened...the day this girl has been looking forward to for well over a year: Kindergarten!!

She laid her clothes out last night, even with the shoes (haha) and it was the longest morning of her life. She goes in the afternoon which doesn't start until 12:45. Once it was time for pictures she was more of a nut than I was (hard to imagine). She wanted pictures in all of these spots...

This is my favorite picture ever. I just said, "Do a silly picture together" and this is what they both did!

She wanted one with me (melt my heart) and it's super close-up but I will treasure it forever. Look how grown up she is.

We applied to a Charter School which enrolls by lottery. Her name wasn't picked but she is now 8th on the list to get in. If she does we will transfer there. But for now she goes to Desert Sage Elementary.

They had the kids line up outside which means I didn't get to go in and see her! What!? She was first in line, with confidence oozing out of her. She was really bugged that they had to wait outside for so long too, she was ready to get going!

Leader of the pack

Her teacher is Mrs. Beaudry...and this is the best picture I got of her since we didn't get to go in. BOO!

READY!

Didn't even look back....

Tear.

Princess Academy

Allie went to a Princess Academy at the end of June. It was darling.
The schedule was:
Monday: Bippity Boppity Boutique
Tuesday: Carnival
Wednesday: Royal Bake Shop
Thursday: Under the Sea Swim Party

A girl in our ward does this camp for 4-7 year olds and those little girls feel so fancy all week. Allie had a wonderful time. I didn't get many pictures though :(

Hair and makeup all done

Cute little cake maker!
