the paquettes

After the dance recital, James and I celebrated 13 years of marriage!  We got his and hers pedicures (his first one, but won’t be the last!), and some yummy Thai food!  LOL

The next week, the kids all had their grade level awards ceremonies and they each did outstanding! Asher got the boys Principal’s Award which means “most improved”. He is reading on a first grade level, and loves art and is beginning to really write!


Ella is reading on a high 3rd grade level, and won 2nd place in her whole grade level (110 students), for Accelerated Reader points! She got a trophy too!  She got “All A Honor Roll”, and she also won the “Math award” in her class for being so great at math!

Her AR trophy

Ella and her 1st and 2nd grade teacher! We will miss her SO MUCH!

Unfortunately, Rilyn had to miss her actual 4th grade ceremony, and so her sweet teacher gave her a personal one in class on her last day of school. Rilyn won 1st place in her whole grade level for Accelerated Reader points and won the “History Award” in her class because she is always so curious, and wants to learn about everything history! She got “All A Honor Roll” too!

Rilyn and her teacher!
