Wasn't It Just May?

Seriously....where has the time gone? Last time I checked, it was May and we were playing flag football. Eli had so much fun playing with his friends on coach Ben's team. He also was able to play with his best friend Logan. He was a great player this year. We say instead of calling him ELI PAULL CRAWFORD, we should call him ELI BALL since he ALWAYS has a ball in his hands!

 

Ok. Ok...so he has a Gatorade in both of these pictures. USUALLY he has a ball in his hand. Even at home, he wakes up and goes out to the garage and starts kicking a ball, or lays on the carpet and throws a ball up and down. He is one determined kid!

 

This year was a first playing on Coach Brown's team. Mason has loved hanging out with Tait this year. There were a lot of his good friends playing this year! We love them! Joshua, Brayden, Tait, Crew, Joseph, and Ethan. Tait's dad is an excellent coach and really helped Mason overcome some of his fears that he had playing for the a different team last year. It's interesting to see what a difference a coach can make. He needs someone to be positive but push him. I loved that when he would make a mistake, the coach would put him back in to show him he could do it instead of taking him out to "punish" him. Mason was able to make some great plays and was the able to enjoy being the quarter back some of the time.

 

 

 

Abbie took her 2nd year of ballet and loved having her friend Elyza in her class. It's always nice to have someone to carpool with! Abbie is a cute little dancer. I will say I think she is a little silly out there. Her facial expressions cracked us up! Not sure if she will continue this year, but she sure loved MS Robbin! We might be going for hip hop next year, who knows. She sure has a lot of rhythm and loves dancing! She was even breaking out into a big dance on a diving board Saturday night during a pool party! You just never know when she'll show us her dance fever!

 

 

 

 

Abbie started off the year with Mr. Sessions and ended the year with MRS. Lewis. Mr. Sessions retired during the year. Abbie has become a great reader and loves math! I will say she did a lot of talking too! Little Miss Social! Hopefully she'll be able to curb that a little better this next year! She wanted pictures with several friends....take notice on the cute boy she's standing next to. She seems to have a crush on Drew this year. She has good taste. He's cute, popular and the smartest boy in the class! What's not to like, huh?

 

Mason is ending 5th grade? No way! How did my little boy grow up so fast? I LOVE MRS CAO! She is such a terrific teacher! The kids learned so much and really had respect for her! They had a lot of fun too! She was firm but FUN! I enjoyed helping in her classroom every THursday and getting to know her.

Here they are on the last day of school playing Dodge Ball. Such fun memories! Here we come summer!

 

 

Eli did really well in 3rd grade. This was a pretty tough year since he had a VERY strict teacher! I'm all about firm and stuff, but sometimes she seemed a bit GROUCHY. I guess I'm that way sometimes too, so who am I to talk? lol...anyway, here they are playing a fun game on the last day of school. The thing Eli loved most about this year was that his best friend Logan was in his class with him!
