School is ending in a few short minutes.
Summer is here.
(I have totally mixed feelings about all that!)
The good news:
We can sleep in!
We don't have to be anywhere at any particular time!!!
We can sleep in!
We are going to Utah in a few months!
We can sleep in!
I get my kids all to myself!
(Did I mention sleeping in? Linden seems like he might just be a good morning sleeper. I would like to thoroughly test that hypothesis out!)
With the end of school comes end of the school stuff. There has been field trips. Which we are thankful that Grandparents could come and enjoy with Olive. Cedar and Aspen enjoyed theirs with their class and friends. I was sorry I couldn't go, but glad they had fun!
There have been parties and celebrations and awards. Here is a little run down:
Olive Graduated from Kindergarten!
We are so proud of her! Some of this years accomplishments are:
Olive can read.
She loves to write.
She didn't once get her name pulled. (Get in trouble.)
She made lots of new friends.
She can count to more than 100.
She can add.
She can tell time to the hour.
She can work hard and finish a hard project.
She is such a big girl. I can't believe we have a first grader in the house!Cedar
Cedar quite literally "cleaned up" at this years 2nd grade awards ceremony. Following in the footsteps of such an accomplished big sister isn't easy, but he sure made it look that way!
Cedar's awards included:
All "A's" all year - high honor roll
His Director's writing contest book won first place in the county.
Star student award
He was the only second grader in the school to get the Presidential Physical Fitness award.
He got a trophy for getting the most AR points in the primary grades
Way to go Cedar. We are proud of you!
Aspen
Year after year Aspen has shown that she has what it takes to be an amazing student and that she has the capacity to learn and lead in school. Here are some of her awards:
Presidential Physical Fitness award (1 of 6 in the 4th grade)
Over 350 AR points (2nd highest in 4th grade)
Highest math average
Library helper
All "A's" all year. (1 of 2 in 4th grade)
High achievers club
Millionaire's club (Read over a million words, several times over)
We are so proud of Aspen. She is consistent in her school work, responsible with her homework and has been the most amazing help at home since Linden has joined our family. Thank you Aspen!
Cedar an Aspen also had their piano recitals. It was Cedar's first one. The both did wonderful and I am amazed at how musically talented they are!

So impressive! Way to go all you little Englishmen and women! What a great start that holds tons of promise for a bright future!
Darling list of accomplishments. I didn't realize Maddy and Olive were the same age!! Cool. Maybe we'll see you when you are in town.
So fabulous. Congratulations to the three best children in Tennessee. (OOOPs. I should have said the SIX best children in Tennessee!) You and Jonathon are raising a wonderful family. We love you all to pieces, and would, even if no one got awards. But we're so proud they did. Way to go, Aspen, Cedar, and Olive. Wahoo.
Just wish we could have been there in person to see all this. We would have been the proudest grandparents there--unless the Salt Lake ones were also there! So how come Cedar never played for us??
SO jealous! We still have almost a whole month left. ICK! I am ready NOW!!! Sounds like another productive year for the English family. I have to say that none of my kids can go a whole week without pulling their card, or usually even a whole day so that is really something. The academic awards are great too, but I already knew they were all super smart so I am not surprised. Time to relax those brains a bit and enjoy the SUMMER!!!
Oh and I am also jealous that you are going to Utah. Seth is going in June for work but the rest of us are dying to meet these new babies.
