Kindergarten has officially come and gone

Yesterday was Gracie's last day of Kindergarten! It went by so fast and she loved every minute of it. She is already excited to start 1st grade but doesn't mind getting to hang around mommy and sister for a couple of months and having fun:)

 I just can't believe how fast she is growing up! Everytime I think of how fast that just is, I have to take a deep breath and soak her in because she is such a wonderful kiddo.

She loves life, learning, making new friends and searching for bugs.

 Gracie carries a lot of love in her heart and is so eager to help her momma and daddy out with things we need. She is becoming a cleaning freak and gets mad if Mckenna messes up their room after she cleans it.

Graduation memories

What has been going on....

I finally graduated from UNM with my BS in Secondary Education! I can hardly believe that I actually completed the program because I have been going for sooooo long!!

 I also finished up my semester of student teaching at Roosevelt Middle School. I learned so much more than I could have ever imagined and one of the main reasons was because of the wonderful Cooperating Teacher that mentored me throughout the whole time. She is the type of teacher I aspire to be someday. She is completely devoted to the students and the school and is great at everything she does as a teacher. I learned so much from my students too and I will always remember them as my first set of students.

I am currently 26 weeks along (my last week in the 2nd trimester!) and am joyfully enjoying being at home with Mckenna right now. I'm catching up on sleep, house stuff, projects and getting ready for little Booth baby #3. I will actually begin my MA program online in June through Eastern New Mexico University which is what I will be doing this next year as I stay home with our new little peanut.

Gracie is a week away from completing Kindergarten! She has enjoyed school so much and is already excited to start 1st grade. McKenna will start pre-K in the fall which means she gets to go upstairs at the daycare, it's ALL she can talk about.
