Rick Kulp Family: June 2014

Aubrey on the high dive!

Aubrey started swim team this year and she loves it! She's in the top group for her age group already and they haven't even had a meet, yet. She is definitely our fearless one and tonight she proved just that. She jumped off the shorter diving board first and then decided to go for the high dive! She jumped 3 times in a row. You go, girl!

Ready...

...jump!

Time to test the high dive.

Walking down...

...JUMP!

Kindergarten graduation

It seems like just yesterday that Aubrey was this small.

Today she graduated from Kindergarten. Where did the time go? We will certainly miss her amazing teacher and assistant, Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Sample. We've been with them for two years now and they have helped our babies to grow. Aubrey heads to 1st grade reading on an end of 1st grade level, a great writer, a sweet friend, and a well rounded student. We couldn't be more proud of our sweet girl.

Walking in.

There are benefits to being the shortest one, she was on the front row and easy to spot.

The entire River Springs Kindergarten.

Singing. She practiced everywhere we went. I mean EVERYWHERE!

My soon to be 1st grader.

Proud Daddy!

Receiving her award for growing and changing so much.

Doing a little reading.

We love Mrs. Sample!

Most amazing Kindergarten team anywhere!

We've made some really great friends! This is Aubrey's best friend, Lyla Kate, and her mommy, Millie.

The Fab Four: Prezlee, Jill, Lyla Kate, and Aubrey.

There are no words for how precious this is.

Swim party to celebrate.

Andrew's book and celebration

Have I mentioned that I love our elementary school? The first graders all wrote books and the teachers had the books published. Andrew's was so good! I am certain he would read it to you if you asked. I thought I was going to be okay and not get all weepy at his celebration, but I opened his book to the very first page and, well, you'll see. This boy has my heart!!! His 1st grade year has been nothing short of amazing. His teacher has been fabulous and Andrew is heading into second grade reading on a 4th grade level. We couldn't be prouder of him!!!

Andrew and his book.

"Click, Clack, Hiya!" based on the children's book, "Click, Clack, Moo."

Oh my! I was completely taken off guard by this. It still tears me up!

My sweet Andrew.

We love Mrs. Rings!!!

Celebrating with school mascot, Navi. Andrew is slightly hidden. He's on the other side of his teacher, behind the girl with the pigtails.

Andrew's amazing teacher and her wonderful 1st graders. Andrew is being hugged by his very precious friend, Logan.

Enjoying cake pops!

My 39th birthday

Yes, I realize my birthday was back in May and this is June, but I also realized I forgot to share some sweet pictures of the weekend. Nana and Pa came to visit and my sweet husband did a LOT of painting for me! 39 seems to be sweet so far!
