The Cameron Family: May 2011

Our 5th Grade Graduate!

I absolutely CANNOT believe our baby is moving on to 6th grade, which also means Junior High...ahhhh!!!! When I said to Dave "I don't know if I can handle her going to middle school", he said "But she can handle it". Very true. She has a great sense of who she is and is a sweet girl that will undoubtedly make good choices. Congrats, Dakota!

Best Friend, Willow

Good friends, McKenna & Jasmine

Dakota was fortunate to have Mr. Schooley for 3rd & 5th grade. She had a hard time saying goodbye to him, he was a wonderful teacher to her.

Choir and Chimes

Dakota was in the Chimes Group this year. She enjoyed it so much and I really enjoyed getting to hear her group perform! At the concert, the 5th graders also performed a couple of songs. This, I don't think she enjoys quite as much!

And the Grammy goes to...

This year Rian was in the drama club. All year long they worked on several plays and last week they performed one of them, "Readin', Writin' and Rockin'". She did a fantastic job!

Little Fishy

During his first week Jack cried before, during and after each lesson. He even cried himself to sleep the first night and woke up crying the next morning. He tried every excuse in the book to escape his turn every time. Even going so far as to say he needed a tissue. Mind you...this boy has NEVER asked for a tissue in his life! After week one though, he got a little more comfortable and even started floating around in a tube during the other kids turns.

No floatie needed anymore!!!

Playing "swim froggie" with his good little friend, Gabby!

I gotta say, I was a little jealous of the instructor here. It looked like a lot of fun to throw the kids in the water!

Doing SO well!

Lessons are over, and although he started off slowly, he is now swimming so well! We took the kids to Lifetime yesterday so he could get some practice in to keep it fresh in his mind. He now swims long distances, touches the bottom of the pool, and turns in circles underwater. Go Jack!!!

Rian's Birthday Celebration

Because Rian has a summer birthday, she rarely gets to celebrate with her school friends. Between the impending birth of her little brother, summer vacation, and our annual trip to Bainbridge, we knew a party would be difficult to get together on her actual birthday. So, we decided we would do one before school let out for the summer. She invited several friends over for a movie night and ice cream sundaes!

Happy Pre-Birthday Sweetie!

Soccer Stud

Jack is amazing in his soccer games! He works hard to score goals as well as play keeper, he has learned that he also needs to pass the ball, and has also become quite the little leader on the field! Unfortunately, I also caught him taunting the other players!
