Cub Scout Day Camp
















Noah just finished up a week of Cub Scout Day Camp. I picked him up one night and he and his buddies giggled the whole way home... he had SO much fun!!!

They did all kinds of cool stuff... Noah's favorite things were ping pong, the hover craft, and seeing his friends. I am loving it because he has a whole bunch of things he passed off and all I had to do was get him there!!! :) Hooray for Day Camp!!

Girl's Camp 09


I was able to spend last week up in the mountains with Austen and 200+ girls. It was an amazing week. Everyone there worked so hard to make it a good experience. I enjoyed so much being there with Austen, watching the youth take over the leadership and do an incredible job, and laughing with friends new and old. I slept very little, but that little sacrifice was totally worth it.

I got to rappel with Austen and I was so proud of her!! She was terrified, but did a great job! (and she was SO excited that she had done it!) I had to act brave while going down at the same time!! I also loved the day we joined the group hiking up to the top of the "Rock". It was a super fun hike and the teamwork AND views I saw were inspiring.

There's so much more to tell, but it's late and I didn't get much sleep last week!! :) Thanks to ALL that made last week so spectacular.

What a week!

It was a big week at the Greenlaw house. Austen finished Elementary School with a whirlwind of activities... Yearbook party, Sparthenian Award, High Honor Roll, Block MV Recipient, a Wild Water party, and even a after school limo ride to celebrate! She is officially done and I still can't believe it. Congratulations, my sweet Austie! Watch out GR!!!












































































































































Noah had an awesome last week, too. He received the Character Counts award, Sparthenian Reader Award, he brought home straight A's, enjoyed a fun class party, and performed in the school talent show! (he played the piano and was SO good!!!) He even got to ride to and from school on his scooter with B. I can't believe he's an upper grader!!! Congrats on a wonderful year!



































































Cute little Ellie finished Kindergarten!! The week was full of fun.. a sprinkler party, a teddy bear picnic, and a Celebration program where all the Kindergartners sing for the proud parents!! She also received the Sparthenian Reader award... this was a big deal. She read and completed 30 book projects this year to earn this. She had a fun year and is very excited to go to 1st grade in the fall. Wow. My babies are growing up!! Congrats to you, Ellie. Thanks for a fun year!

The last week!!!













































THE LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL... I don't know why this is so bittersweet for me! Maybe having both a 6th grader AND a Kindergartner is the reason... They are both monumental years.

They also seem to go faster and faster... even Austen told me today that it seems like a few months ago that she started her last year at Mountain View, and now it's quickly coming to an end.

Austen, Noah, and Ellie have had outstanding years full of fun and learning. They have wonderful teachers and friends at the school, and I am so grateful. I have loved helping in their classrooms and attending their activities.

This next week is full of celebrations, awards assemblies, and even a talent show. I can't wait! If you need to find me, I will either be at the school, or doing Girl's Camp stuff!!! (this will be another post!!)

SUMMER, here we come.... I hope it's a nice, long, lazy one!
