Sydney got Honor Squad!!!

Today Sydney was honored for being chosen to be on Honor Squad!! They choose one student from each class each month who have shown the following qualities: be Honest, be Organized, have No excuses, show Outstanding effort, and being Respectful. When they explained this at Open House I was sure Sydney would get this at some point because, let's face it, she's great ;) BUT, to be the very first one chosen from her class is just awesome! Today as a reward she got to have lunch with all the Honor Squad nominees and the principal, received a certificate, and got to put her painted hand prints on the "wall of honor"!!We could not be more proud of her or more excited for her. What a blessing to know that not only is she enjoying school but she is doing well AND getting recognized for that! I am one proud and happy mama!

and some more pics of the kiddos...

latest soccer game...

brave girl

Sydney is getting more confident and brave as each day passes. It's a fun process to watch. Here is our brave girl holding a rather large chicken at her cousin's house...

soccer!!

Sydney had her first game this Saturday and it was so fun to watch. She hasn't quite gotten the hang of the game yet, but she had a blast :)

too busy.

We're too busy right now. Seriously, I'm exhausted. School and soccer are now in full force and each day has some sort of agenda. Long gone are the lazy, laid back, summer days.  And the downfall is lack of picture taking (hence lack of blogging). Most of what we have going on is good...just busy :) Sydney has her first game this weekend so I WILL take some pictures there! Until then....

ready for football season!!

fun times on a hot day :)
