So long 2nd grade...hello summer break!

Yesterday was the last day of school! After the last month I think I was more excited than Vi. I am doing more and more at the school (which I love) but it keeps me super busy (hence the lack of posts).
Vi has officially passed the 2nd grade (like there was any doubt :D)! She finished up the year on a high note. She had a little trouble in math in the middle of the year (they say that second grade is when kids start to hate math because it gets hard) but with the help of her AMAZING teacher she pulled ahead! She got such a great report card she got to pick out a toy from target. She is really into Monster High dolls...

We shall see what the summer brings!

Legacy Wall

Brisas is starting a new tradition, a Legacy Wall. You can buy and paint a tile and they will put it on the school in the courtyard. On Thursday we went to the pottery painting place and made ours. It turned out really nice. I can't wait to see it once it is complete!

Never a dull moment

As you all know we are always on the go, never a dull moment in the Taugner World... Vi lost another tooth and as you can see the adult tooth was already on the way in! Poor Vi will def nned braces. Here top jaw is too small...we are already saving up... We went to exchange the dresses Papa Dad sent her for Easter. This is the "fancy dress" she picked out. It is so cute. Papa Dad sent Vi an Easter mask. Of course she had to put in on and ham it up!

Busy Weekend

If the month of April is anything like the first weekend I'm in trouble. Holy Moly were we busy! And hot, temps were at 99 degrees. A nice little tease of what the summer brings. Friday night was the Spring Carnival at school. What a great event! There was so much to do...bouncies, petting zoo, pony rides, games, food, dunk tank (thats right, dunk your teacher) and the main event teachers and both principals KISSING A COW!!! The students have a "change drive" to raise money for the carnival. They have one week to bring in loose change. The teachers with the most and the least have to kiss the cow. And...if the entire school raised $750 the principals had to kiss the cow too! The school raised almost $1,400!!! Vi's teacher didn't have to kiss the cow but she was excited to see her principal kiss the cow. Of course Vi wanted to ride a pony. And by pony I mean little pony. Check out how small this thign was. Since Vi is so petite they put her on the smallest pony. HAHA What a arm...VI dunked her teacher AND the principal. She had such a blast! On Saturday Eddie took Vi and Morgan to the Phoenix Zoo. He let them ride the camel. Vi said it was a bumpy ride. Nothing like waking up and going for a bike ride. They love our big backyard, perfect to ride bikes!

Good Friends

Yesterday Vi had a dance competition. The girls did so great. Vi and Morgan got a special judges award for their duet! These comps make for very long days. Inbetween performing and awards a bunch of us went to Olive Garden to get some food. We are very lucky to have such great friends!

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Love her!

Vi's Bedroom

Of course the first room we have completely set up is Vi's room. She is very excited because her room is so big (it is a 2 master room house so her room is the same size as ours). Thanks to Auntie Patt Vi has a new bedding set.

Shot of her bed and dresser. We do have a couple of things to put on the wall.

Here is a shot of her "work area". We got her a desk and she set up her computer. We also hung up her white board. We are going to get her a beaded curtain.

Her room is so big we were able to put all her toys in her room. She is having a blast playing in her room.

Here is another shot of her bed. Check out the Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber posters hanging on the wall. She is so in!

I'm so happy she loves her room. When we first told her we were moving she was upset and didn't want to. I guess all it took was a giant room. We'll have to keep that in mind for next time we move :)
