Surfing into 7th Grade

I don't know how time has gone by this fast but Cooper graduated from 6th grade and is moving on to Junior High! It was a sad and exciting day. I so clearly remember the day I took Cooper to his first day of Kindergarten. I seriously can't believe that he is done with Elementary so soon. It is so hard to see my kids growing up and out into this crazy world but I have to say, I truly enjoy my kids as they get older. I love having a good relationship with them and being able to have fun, talk to and enjoy each other. I can see that Cooper is so ready to move to this next big step in his life and I am so proud of his accomplishments so far and know he will do amazing things! We have been talking a lot about making good choices and sticking to his values and I know Coop will always make us proud!

In addition to his certificate of completion, Cooper received an Outstanding Academic Achievement award. This award went to kids who had a 3.5 or higher GPA and high test scores on math and other subjects. Great job Coop! You have done a SUPER job!!

Getting his certificate and a little hug from his teacher Mrs. Homer. We really appreciated her as a teacher. She helped Cooper get prepared for 7th grade...she was excellent!!


I had the opportunity to be responsible for the decorations and refreshments for the graduation ceremony. It was a lot of fun to put it together. I had a lot of great people helping me! We did a Hawaiian theme as you can see. These decorations were mostly drawn and made by my friend, Jen who spent a TON of time on them! They turned out so cute and we got a ton of positive comments! Thanks Jen and everyone else who helped me so much!!
