Magnolia is officially 7. Wow! How is that possible?! I think she had a really great day. She got breakfast in bed, went bowling, went to HuHot for lunch (which included roasting marshmallows and making s'mores) played outside in the afternoon and went to her friends house for dinner. I don't think she could have crammed any more fun into one day!
Father's day... in our world it was last Saturday because we wouldn't want to celebrate it on the same day as Magnolia's birthday! So... last Saturday Magnolia brought David breakfast in bed. After lounging in bed we got ready to head down to Denver for the Rockies game. It was another successful day at the ball park! It was a hot day but we were lucky enough to be in the shade the whole time. Keegan learned he loves cotton candy and Magnolia got all of her fav treats. Keegan kicked off his shoes and laid back to lounge in my lap while enjoying the game. What a life! After the game we came back home and went out for dinner. It was a great day! Happy Father's day to a guy who deserves more than just a day to celebrate him! He is truly the most amazing dad in the world and my kids are so very lucky to have him! We love you David!!!

Here they are! The first day of school and the last day! Its hard to tell in these pictures but I am amazed how much her hair has grown and how many teeth she lost! Such a beautiful girl!
I know people say time flies... but seriously... this school year has flown by! I truly feel like it was just yesterday that I dropped my baby off for her first day of school. I feel like it was just yesterday I was sitting down at this blog putting the first day of kindergarten pictures on. Poof! We are now at the end of the year! She is officially on her way to 1st grade. I couldn't be more proud of this girl of mine. She had such a fantastic year, with an amazing teacher. She loved loved loved school this year. Every day she was so excited to go and she always came out with a smile and stories to share. She made some incredible friends, learned a ton and changed from a little girl into a full fledge school age kid! She started the school year wanting to read more than anything. She walked out today reading at a second grade reading level and is so much fun to listen to her read. I love this Magnolia Claire of mine. I am beyond happy that she had such a great year. I told her this morning as she was so sad to be done with kindergarten that the cool thing about kinder is that you will remember it forever. I still remember so much of my kindergarten teacher, songs, room ect. She was pretty excited to hear that she will always remember this year and said "well, if I am going to remember it forever its a good thing it was so great!" I couldn't agree more!
Magnolia had field day at school yesterday. She had a blast and loved reliving every moment at the dinner table last night! She truly has the best friends and the best class ever!
