Brian & Mandy's 6 Queens-Girls just having fun...: Whoa, did we fall off the face of the earth again??

Lots has happened since my last post back on May 14th. Here's what's been going on:

May 14th Caitlin's Birthday party with her 3rd Grade girl friends at the Lake Crystal Rec Center. The day was complete with a sleepover! Thank goodness there is only 3 other 3rd grade girls. That's about all Brian and I could handle!

Emily, Abby, Mackenzie, Kylie, Veronica and Caitlin

3rd Grade girls, Abby & Katie Frey, Emily & Rachel

May 15th Caitlin's 2nd Birthday party with Godparents, Grandparents, Family and Neighbors

The day was beautiful! After the 3rd grade girls went home we were on to party #2! The Landwehrs came up from Iowa and the girls just love it when they come! We had a nice afternoon, grilling burgers, opening gifts and eating b-day cake. Ken and Gladys, Mom and Dad, Bob and Laura, Mya and Ally, Alisa and Dan, Great Grandma Schueller and our neighbors Mike and Irene were the birthday guests. Caitlin got alot of nice things but among them one of her favorites, a model rocket! Hopefully she'll get to put it together soon and launch it!

Emily nicely sharing her sucker with Natalie

Gymnastics: Rachel, Emily and Caitlin finished up their session of gymnastics and LOVED it! Rachel and Caitlin get to move up to the next level and Emily who was in the same level as Caitlin will do her level again. Just a few things to work on. Of course she is 19 months younger than Caitlin so she already is way ahead! :) They will start up again in June sometime. Both Caitlin and Emily can do a cartwheel off the beam and stick it and Rachel does awesome cartwheels. For Caitlin's b-day we got the girls a balance beam! It's alot harder than it looks!

I can't wait to do what my sisters do!

Rachel says this is a piece of cake!

Emily taking a leap of faith!

What form Caitlin!

End of the School Year awards and Field Day:

Caitlin and Emily both were recognized for their acheivments in the Accelerated Reading program and Physical Fitness Awards. Caitlin got the "blue patch" which is the highest honor in the presidential fitness awards and Emily received the "red patch". And both girls did well in the reading program. Emily was surprised at both awards she received while Caitlin was expecting that she'd get awards in both areas! :) That's typical!! :)

They had another beautiful day for field day the last day of school. Emily and Caitlin were on different teams, but this time Emily's yellow team took 1st place and beat out Caitlin's red team who got 2nd place. Both were excited to receive ribbons! I think secretly Emily wanted to say "nana, nana boobo, I beat you!" I know I would've!!!! The girls both were sad to say goodbye to 1st and 3rd grade and they both really liked their teachers. But it was the same story last year and they got over it very quickly. :) It's hard to believe that we will have a 2nd grader and 4th grader next year! Wow! Time does fly!
