Jayda's Kindergarten Graduation and Swim Team Party!

Yesterday was Jayda's end of the year school program.  She got a certificate for graduating kindergarten, so she is officially headed to first grade!  This year has seriously flown by! It feels like it was just yesterday that I took her first day of school picture on our front porch.  She was so excited to start kindergarten, she could hardly wait!  Her actual teacher was out on maternity leave for the first 6 weeks of school, so that was a little interesting.  Thankfully once her teacher came back Jayda loved her and the rest of the year went really smoothly.  Her teacher did a great job and Jayda even learned to read this year!  She started out learning her sight words (we would work on them every night) at the beginning of the year and by the middle of the year she was sounding out words and reading sentences. It's so neat to see her read now to her sisters.  She is so proud of herself and so are we!  I can't wait to see what the next year holds for our sweet Jayda Michelle! 


First day of Kindergarten! September 27, 2012.
 
Kindergarten graduation. June 3, 2013.

Getting her completion certificate from her teacher, Mrs. Dominguez.

Singing "What a Wonderful World" at the program.

They all did such a good job and it was so, so sweet!  She had been practicing
this song at home a lot and I loved listening to her sing it.  Melts my heart!

"Take me to 1st grade!!"

Jayda and Avery after their graduation.  They are such a mess together! :)

Jayda and Mrs. Dominguez.  She loves her teacher!  I'm sure she will be asking about her all summer!

The three musketeers! 
 Last weekend was Jayda's swim team kickoff party.  We were so excited to go this year since we missed it last year.  They took their team and individual photos, had duck races, swam in the pool, danced, and ate lots of pizza.  We all had a great time.  Jayda is very lucky to be a part of such a great swim team!

Little miss Avery hanging out at the party.

Coach Brian sending the ducks into the river for the race.  This is their annual fund raiser.  You buy a duck and then they have several heats of races.  The top 5 or so ducks in the finals win prizes, like an ipad, gift cards etc.  It was fun to see if the girls ducks would win!  Unfortunately, we didn't have any luck.  Jayda's duck did get 2nd place in one of the heats. :)

Dancing the night away.  This was right up their ally!  Such a fun night!

Unbelievable she has finished her kindergarten year. Could not have imagined this when y'all were in Hewitt and she was a baby. She's a smart girl like her Mommy! Y'all are going to have a great, fun summer!!

Love,
Mom
