End of school, bikes, birthdays, haircuts...oh my!

Wow, the school year flew by!  Allie has finished kindergarten, which is wonderful.  She is doing great in school.  Kindergarteners take the PALS test, which is a language arts based assessment.  The benchmark, where the kids should be is at 81.  The total points you can score is 102, and Allie scored 99!  We haven't received her final report card in the mail yet, but I am sure it's just as good as they have been all year.  She is reading, is great at math, and now has a summer journal that she's writing in daily.  She seems to love writing in her journal.

She has learned to ride her bike with out training wheels, so we bought her a new bike, and she's fast.  It makes my heart skip a beat watching her zoom so fast, but so far...no falls.  She's swimming fairly well on her own in the shallow end of the pool, and I am sure by the end of summer will be doing great in the deep end.  She has finished up girl scouts, tee ball and gymnastics.  Her summer plans consist of the pool, play dates, riding her bike, camps and vacations!  Sounds like the ideal summer vacation!

Brian celebrated his birthday on the 12th.  I think he had a nice birthday filled with a hand made sign from Allie, replacement parts for his head phones from us, a surprise card game with his friends, and ice cream cake!  YUM!

Hunter got his first hair cut.  He was an angel.  It was much different from the kicking and screaming of Allie's first cut!  He sat in the seat all by himself, watched Baby Einstein on the TV, and let her cut away.  He really looks so handsome.
