Birthday Party Day

We had Kylie’s 7th Birthday party today and it was a very nice day. Kylie invited over a few of her girlfriends from school and ballet and we had a little cook out at Mommy’s house. The girls were able to play on Kylie’s swing set and swim in the pool before and after cake and presents. Even though the weather was hot, it wasn’t unbearably so, and the fact that we put up a tent canopy for everyone to sit under added a nice bit of shade. It’s hard to believe that in just a few short days Kylie will be 7 years old!

Done with 1st Grade!

Today was Kylie’s last day of 1st grade! I can’t believe how fast the time is going by. Kylie is now officially a 2nd grader, having past first grade with flying colors. In fact she has done so well this year that she already has a tremendous leap on at least one of next years requirements. By the end of second grade all students must be reading at a level 28, Kylie is already reading at a level 24! There is a real possibility that she could reach level 28 before the next school year depending on how much reading she does over the summer. Mommy and Daddy are very proud of you Kylie!
