School Year Ends!

Let's Play Music 
 The first thing that ended was Benjamin's first year of Let's Play Music (Piano) class!  He loved it!  Here are some pictures from his very first Music Recital!

With Abby, she can't wait till it is her turn next year!

Kindergarten
Then he finished his first year of school!  I got to go with him on his end of year field trip!  It was a hike up American Fork Canyon.  We had fun!  I'm glad I got to go.

On the bus!  He loves riding the bus!
The group I was in charge of!
Heading up the trail

Bumped into best bud Aaron!
He is really into to holding up his finger in pics lately!  Ever since he watched the NBA finals, he wants everyone to know he is "number one!" So funny!

A week later was his Kindergarten Graduation Ceremony!  They sang a bunch of songs and Benjamin even got to read a few lines in the presentation!  I was so proud!  After the Ceremony we got to go hang out in his classroom for a little party and we took some pics with a few friends.

An awesome teacher deserved an awesome gift at the end of the year!  This is what we got her.
With other great friend Anthony!

Here is Anna.  This is funny, her mom asked me if Anna could take a pic. with Benjamin, I thought "that is interesting?"  I thought, " I wonder if her mom wants a picture with Benjamin because perhaps her daughter has a crush on him?  Only thing I could think of, since she only wanted a pic with my kid and none of the others.  Ha, ha!  That is funny but cute!

Friend Marcus

A couple of Small Projects

Benjamin's Teacher gift for his awesome Kindergarten teacher.  I found these awesome tags over at The Busy Budgeting Mama.  Then I took it a step further by buying these cute plastic Popcorn cups at the Dollar Store.  I filled it with a microwavable popcorn bag, teachers favorite candy (theater size) and a gift card for the movies.  Super Cute, fun, and something his teacher can really enjoy!

Then I made this candy poster for my honey for our Anniversary.  I thought it was creative. I had to tweak it a bit in order to get some of his favorite goodies on there (mexican nuts, oatmeal creme pies, kit kat, and twix) but I think it turned out pretty good.
