Grade School Graduation!

The last week of grade school was packed full of fun events. It was started off with a fancy dinner at one of Utah's finest resteraunts...La Caille. The students were expected to dress in their finest, use manners they were taught in a special class, enhance their tastes by trying escargout (snails), and have a good time. Karina wanted Daddy to be her date but settled with mommy. We were lucky enough to sit with her best friends: Sydni Moyes, Kristen, Cahill, and Magen Lihpai.

The 6th grade was able to spend a day at the Recreation Center (sorry no swimming suit pictures will be posted at this time). And of course no final week would be complete without graduation. Karina has had a wonderful grade school experience. She has made many great friendships that hopefully will last a lifetime. Lincoln Perkins is one of her good friends. He has been a good example and good friend to her. Since the 2 of them have been 12 for almost a year, they have spent a lot of time at the temple doing baptisms for the dead. How awesome to have such great friends (not to mention he's really cute too). Karina has been blessed with fabulous teachers: Ms. Martell, Ms. Kotter, Ms. Martell again, Mrs. Frye, Mrs. McIntosh, Ms. Trimble, and Ms. Trimble again. Each of these teachers have been such a blessing in her life. They have each taught more than just reading, writing, and arthimetic. They have taught her life skills. Thank you!

That's just great. I wonder how Junior high is gonna go?
It's nice you said that wonderful stuff about her teachers. If they read this, it'll make them happy. I always wonder if my kids, that I taught, think of me, cause I sure think of them.

Mrs. McIntosh sounds real familar. I'm wondering if she tranferred over from Hannah Holbrook elem. Really, I think I may have had her in 4th grade...

Cute guy, Karina. (she told me about the "back-to-back" picture and I had to take a peek!)
