4th & 1st Grade

Both kids were very excited for this new school year, even though the last one just ended 3 weeks ago. I am very pleased with the teachers that they have. When tracks were assigned back in June, once again, we didn't get what we asked for. In fact, we got our last choice. I put in a track request change, and prayed. Prayed that whatever was the right thing for my children would come to pass, even if it meant staying with the track that they had assigned us in the first place. But, I got a phone call, and sure enough we were changed to they first choice I had requested. We are all very happy! Thank you Heavenly Father!

Swimming Lessons - Cass

When we went off track in May, it was Cass's turn for swimming lessons. I had gotten her in the same level as Cutter, and after the first time, I could tell that she was going to do great. So great that we ended up switching with a friend that was in a level up, because her little one wouldn't even get in the water. So Cass moved up, and was will other friends, and definitely comfortable in her situation. She and her friend would do somersaults in the water, and dive to the bottom (4ft) to get toys. She had a blast, and did a great job. Even to the point, that she finally decided to jump off the diving board with the rest of her class. Great job Cass!

Cassidy's Piano Recital

Cassidy started piano lessons this year. She has quite the talent to hear a song and pick it out on the piano, much like her Uncle Jeff. She loves her teacher, and loves to practice and play...although sometimes what she practices and plays are not her lessons. We are working on that. She was trying to pick a song for recital, and couldn't decide between 3 pieces. She learned all three, and then decided on Swan Lake, the same piece that her ballet recital is too, especially after her teacher added a few notes, so it sounded even closer to the ballet piece. She did a great job! What a girl!
