Keagan and Riley on the other hand are sad their 6th grade year is over! Isn’t that awesome? They both just had such a great experience (probably mostly socially) that they are actually sad it’s over. Highlights of 6th grade for them were making a bunch of new school friends. Keagans best school friends: Bailey, Emory, Jimena, Reagan, Cade, Virginia, Myla and Briley. Riley’s best school friends: Lauren, Daniel, Mason, and Keagan says Riley is the most popular girl in 6th grade! 😂 The even bigger highlight was before and after school and hallway walks with the girls church/DPAC friends- their closest friends for sure. Every morning I would drop Keagan off at the bike racks to meet Callie, Marra, Calli, Trent, Carter and Zeke to hang out before school. The sweetest thing was Trent, Carter and Riley’s friend Lauren would meet our car there to tell Riley good morning before I dropped her off to her teachers by the cafeteria! After school was probably Keagans favorite part of the year! After I picked Riley up from her teachers by the cafeteria I would pull around and wait for Keagan at the corner of Ash Valley Drive. She would then walk with her friends, taking her time to maximize the socializing, thru Wunderlich Farms and down Ash Valley to my car. Their fun walking home group was Keagan, Claire, Calli, Owen, Kirk, Eric, Micheal, Junior, Dax, Max, Donovan, Sarah and Lizzie. I wish I had solid pictures of them but I didn’t ever want to be THAT mom.
Keagan’s favorite teachers were Mrs Bledsoe and Mrs Vu and Riley’s favorite teachers were Mrs Sadeghi, Mrs Bear and Mrs Peej. The last week of school we found out some bad news for Keagan and stressed and struggled to get next years classes figured out for her. The wonderful principal Mrs Land who has been so helpful all year ultimately helped us get it all sorted out so all of us can enjoy our summer and look forward to next year! The other beyond stressful thing that we were forced to do the first week of summer was sell Nana’s car which was very hard and emotional for me.
On to happier things. On Friday the girls hosted a kick off to summer pool party. Keagan reached out to the Blackham’s on her own and asked to borrow their pool which they were so welcoming about. We ended up having 19 kids total there and man did they have a blast! The weather actually cooperated (it’s been raining for weeks) and everyone had a great time! I dont mind hosting these kind of things and providing the snacks because I’m super grateful for the great group of friends the girls have!
Otherwise we’ve had dinner with the Reeves, had a fun Memorial Day swim and Cruella watching party with the Whitney’s, spent other late nights at the Whitney’s and other swims there too. We’ve stayed up way too late and slept in, done lots of chores, prepared for girls camp, got all our temple recommends in order to hopefully be able to go back to the temple soon (Riley was SO excited) and Keagan had a few hangouts to go to- I have to stop calling them play dates now! 😂 Oh and Miss Riley was invited to those too but chose to stay joke and do her thing instead. #homebody
I am very thankful for this much needed summer and hoping to do more then just survive it. I am still working thru so much grief and hard logistics of Nana’s passing but I still want to create beautiful and fun memories with the girls this summer! First up is Girls Camp starting tomorrow so hopefully I will have lots of fun memories made to report soon!
