Last day of school!

And just like that first grade was over....

I am unbelievably proud of Hud. He had a hard year with a lot thrown at him and he thrived. Never does he complain about diabetes, never does he ask "why me?" (I do enough of that for both of us). Through it all he has THRIVED. I am so proud of him.

First and last day:

I had a banner waiting for him:

His amazing teacher. Words cannot express how much I love her. She took care of Hud like he was her own. That means more to me than I can ever express. We will miss her greatly:

Last day cookie cake:

When you go low while swimming...it is cookie cake time!

Trent took the big kids golfing, so this pumpkin and I ran some errands:

And then met them for dinner:

Then it was run through the banner time and 

WELCOME TO SUMMER!!!!!

End of Year Party!

Hud's end of year party was the next to last day of school. It was a great to spend one last time with his classmates! Kona Ice, games and fun!

My sweet boy:

Afterwards, we went ahead and jumped right into summer with the first swim of the year:

Swim lessons and more...

The aftermath of recital hair:

SOOOOOOOOO cold! This kid is a FISH!

This is her kissing her muscles. Mr. Bryan always asks for a high five and follows it up with "who knocked me down? Show me your muscles" and this is what Harper did when asked:

We can't wait to have him home all the time!

She was WORN out from a late night recital!!!

Day 2!

We hit the park after swim for a bit:

And then had one last 1st grade lunch with Hud!

Hud did his insulin pump trial and was super excited!!

To celebrate the end of an awesome first grade year, we let Hud pick dinner wherever he wanted. He picked the "hokey pokey place" aka Babe's:

This kid is happy 99.9% of the time:

Harper's Recital!

Harper had her second recital! She did a dance to L.O.V.E. and Prince Ali from Aladdin...she had the sweetest little class this year! She made a lot of new friends! 

My pretty ballerina! 

Of course, Daddy and bubba came through with beautiful flowers for our dancing queen:

Out of order again. Dress rehearsal that morning with her sweet friend, Rose:

A pre-show pic with her baby sister:

Sweet supportive brother!

Genie Harper!

Her sweet class!

Our sweet family of five!
