2nd Grade - First Quarter Progress report

Tristan Holt Barber...

Mommy is SO proud of you!!!

You have been working so hard and it shows!!

T's first project! So proud of my boy

Yes, I helped... but only in giving options...

He chose the stickers to name our Invertebrate!

Herme the Hermit Crab!!  

This is the photo he chose to cut out... and I maybe suggested the googly eyes

but COME ON.... it's FUNNY

Natural predators...

(then everything was googly eyes!)

Poor Herme has to eat too! 

Run little worms... RUN!

(Look at the pins... those are plankton - LOL)

Then he wrote where they live....

and what a hermit crab is

Not bad for his first one!!

Fun Run FUN!

First of all... we room moms had door decoration duty... our door is horrible

I tried to add some stars to make it better..

Ugh, didn't help

Oh well - onward we go!

He began fundraising...

and killed it on Day 1!!

Then, today... this cat was R-E-A-D-Y

AND he came in first.  I mean FIRST ... BEFORE the midway point of the race...

Here is the crazy fun morning he had!

T and his teacher Mrs. Pettus

Mrs. Pettus' crew

Get ready

1st lap is a walk lap...

then it's a GO!

T's best girl - friend - ALLIE!

T's art and computer teacher - Mrs. Blauser and her son Sutton

Winner winner!!

Time to cheer on our friends!

One of T's best buddies - Braeden

Laurie and Allie

One of my faves... Mary Michal and Alysse!

The Class Flag!!

Such a great run and a fun way to raise money for the school!

So thankful to our friends and family that donated.  I know these things can be a whip but he REALLY loves these!!

2016-2017 school picture

That I'm not buying...LOL

and for the record, I didn't copy, I took a screen shot!

This was one good last hurrah!

Well, Friday was awesome.. but we kept the fun rolling!

Saturday T came home, ran errands and spent a cranky day with me.  Passed out at 6pm and slept a full 13 hours.  WHOOOOA!  I later found out he and Grayson woke each other up at 4am and STAYED UP!  YIKES!!

Before passing out, we picked up everything and decorated T's new room.  It's got a little Texas and a little NY!

and a lot of Baylor!!

So Sunday was church and Tristan met his new leaders (Chris and Clayton) for the year.  We are so thankful for them volunteering to feed into the lives our our kiddos.  AND the best part, Tristan and Grayson were chosen to be in the same group!  SO THANKFUL!!

Grayson came home with us after church for a play date and then Braeden got to come over too!

They spent five hours battling, Nerf Gun warring, playing the XBOX and swimming!  It was hours of fun and I'm so thankful for such good friends!!

Today we woke up, ran errands and then headed over for a play date with Davis.  I got a play date with Sue too and was able to catch up with my friend for hours!  It was a great day for both of us!

Now back home, looking at the to-do list for the week.  Mercy, life is full of awesomeness and my love tank is pretty full!

Daddy should be home from the lake soon, wondering what if anything will be shared.  Hopefully he'll agree and say it was a great weekend!

Grayson's first sleepover

Well, it happened.  G was allowed his first sleepover and he chose Tristan.

So very thankful that we've been able to find time for the boys to play here and there.  The adjustment has been hard and I think it's sinking in for all of us.

Tracy says it feels like we broke up too.  So odd how hard it is to actually see people just because you change schools... and sports... and friends... and schedules... oh yeah - THAT'S WHY!!

No complaints though, we are committed to our friendships!

What a fun time at dinner!  So jealous, I've wanted to go to The Lot for ages, sometime I WILL get there!!

Then it was ice cream time!!

I swear he could be Tristan May - they all look alike!

Time for bed!

They actually behaved and went to bed... I was shocked!

and then, of course... this was morning fun after breakfast!

Proud of him for including Cullen and Taylor.  They all love him so!!

Thanks Tracy & Steve - he had a blast!!!
