We hung out with Eva Ahlstrom while her mom was in CA with her sick grandpa.
We were alllll excited for Julia to go to Prom!


As graduation...or continuation as your school calls it got closer we got excited! Julia went to get her nails done for Prom so I let you come and get your nails done for graduation. They look so nice! You love doing your nails, but at home polish is annoying and drives you nuts if it isn't perfect.
Graduation morning I got up early to decorate dad's truck for you. You'll be the coolest 5th grader in the drop off line! 



The ceremony was via Webex and I watched it from the sub job I have right now at the high school. You were the first kid called and the night before you had practiced the little saunter you did as you walked away. You are too much kid! You keep us all laughing!!

Brynnly baby I can't believe you have finished elementary school. You have conquered every grade with determination, excellence, and confidence. From being the top reader in Kinder with Mrs. Sparks to being "Marge in Charge" in 1st grade with Mrs. Zamudio, to rocking 3rd grade all by yourself at Garin in Brentwood, to getting through a Pandemic at Brentwood Elementary in 4h grade and then moving to CO and finishing 5th grade in person wearing a mask at Soaring Heights, you have NEVER stopped being remarkable! You have been in the gifted and talented program, gone to Mr. Farley in the middle school to do 6th grade math, auditioned to give the commencement speech and handled it with grace when someone else was picked. You are a fierce fighter for justice. You are a loyal friend and an absolute genius in planning everything from Halloween costumes to matching shirts for your Innovations group to ice cream dates in Downtown Erie. You are just the coolest! I look forward to watching you excel in Middle School. Everyone will have to wear sunglasses because your light will be shining so bright!
We love ourselves some Mexican food, so this is always a fun day to celebrate!
You found this cut out at the store...I love it!
You have a new obsession....
THE BEATLES!!!
You are listening to their music non stop, you've gotten a few shirts, and even did a research project on them. All I know is you are the absolute coolest 5th grader EVER and we love every single ounce of you!
