Mrs. Mayor

Mrs. Mayor played by JACOY! Isn't she cute!

Playing

Singing

So the 2nd Grades all put on the play "Christmas at the O.K. Corral". Each class put on the same play just at different times. This is not Jacoy's whole class only a few because they separated her class and put a few with every other 2nd Grade so that they only had four plays and not five. Jacoy was Mrs. Mayor and such a cute on at that. She is one of the best little singers. I sure love and was so proud of all FOUR parts that she had. They asked if she wanted to try out for a character that had more and she said no that is alright. Matt was able to take the day off and come which was great and such a big help. He ran the video camera and I took the picture camera. They even let Bridger come in. Taft and Bridger just played. She did great! I just love her.

Jacoy is 6!!!

I cannot believe that Jacoy turned 6! I tried to talk her into being 4 again, but she didn't go for that. She was really funny this year. She wanted a surprise birthday party, BUT she wanted to plan it:0) Try and figure that out, but we did surprise her. Bridger and I got a pinata' together during the week. and baked purple cupcakes that day while she was at school. We called some friends and told them that I would pick them up. Friday before her birthday I headed out to run "errands" and "told" Matt and the kids that I would meet up with them at the park. So, they took a soccer ball, bat, and baseball and left for the park. The friends and I grabbed some pizza and headed to the park. SURPRISE!

This dolphin pinata' was a huge success and nobody managed to get hurt.

Jacoy, Bridger, September, Gretel, Sammy Jo, and Laura all had fun! Thanks everyone.
We gave her rollerblades and this was her first attempt at using them. Thank goodness for Dad helping out!

On her real birthday we headed to Lagoon for a few hours. The kids were able to ride some rides and then we had a Yummy Cinnamon Roll.
And to top off the Birthday Celebration Grandma LeeAnn brought a cute horse cake up to celebrate the following Wednesday. Jacoy loved it.

Jacoy we are so proud of you and are so blessed to be a part of your life. You are such a great daughter and we love you. Bridger loves you and I am glad that you are such a good friend to him. You have such a great smile and are such a great friend to everyone. LOVE YOU COY!

Kindergarten Graduation!

Matt was able to make it home for Jacoy's Kindergarten Graduation and she was excited. Grandma LeeAnn was also able to make it and Jacoy had a wonderful day. She had a great head teacher, Ms. Rachel, and a fun assistant teacher, Ms. Heidi. They also had many other student teachers and lab teachers throughout the year.

This was her head teacher and the assistant teacher.

They put on four plays for the families to see. They were all based on book from the Magic Treehouse series. Jacoy played "Jack" in the play "Ghost Town at Sundown." She was one of the boys so she would not allow me to do her hair up cute. I had to beg to put a hairbow in her hair.

They all made their own costumes and backgrouds. Notice the glasses.

Then when it was over her teacher gave them their own Master Librarian cards with their names on it and gift card to go and buy their own Jack and Annie book. She was so excited that we had to go the very next day. We finished the graduation with a potluck and a stroll through their artwork. It was a great day and we are so PROUD of her!

Kindergarten Update...

I thought that I should update everyone on Coy's Kindergarten. Her favorite things to do at Kindergarten is to do puzzles, write letters to friends, and do bead melts. She enjoys school and likes her head teacher and most of the student teachers and lab teachers. This was the last day until the new year. They have been learning about space and put on a presentation for all of the parents. She wrote a big letter about her display, but then made one of the teachers read it (they actually can read her writing).
It said " If I whent to the moon. I wood bring a snak I wood see Jupter and I wel see the moon I whent to see mars the END by Jacoy." That is exactly what she wrote and how she wrote it:)

This is the assistant teacher Miss Heidi. She will help the head teacher Miss Rachel all year. All of the other teacher change in January.

I am so proud of Jacoy and all that she can do. She keeps her Dad and I on our toes. She has learned how to read at home and do math problems. I will have to post about that some other time. I am glad that you are in our lives.

School Pictures...

Here is the outcome of school pictures.......

They even gave us a copy of it in Sepia and Black & White.

Not the best picture that we could hope for, but not the worst either. I like it I just wished that she would have smiled a little more. I think they might have took the picture a second before the real smile or a second after the real smile. At least she didn't close her eyes, right?:) We love you Jacoy and you are still very beautiful.

Kindergarten Picture Day!

Today was Jacoy's Kindergarten picture day. Well, last night she did not want to go to sleep. Matt kept telling her that she needed to get her beauty sleep and she would say "no I don't need it". Well, after her pictures I asked her if she smile and she said "ya I think I did with my mouth closed". What a stink I guess we will see what she actually did when we get them back. Isn't she cute?! Jacoy we love you and are proud of you.Bridger wanted to get in on the action and told me this is how he would have smiled. (Notice the blue bandaide under the hat)



Buddy we love you too even when you are so silly.
