The Tommerdahls: May Crazy

So much happens in May! Kindergarten Graduation, Gymnastics Meet, Track and Field Day, Field Trips, and more...here are a few updates...

Kindergarten Graduation

We still have a few days left of school, but Kindergarten Graduation was this past Wednesday. We were so blessed to have so much family come to celebrate!

They sang several songs as a full group of 5 classes.

Almost a 1st Grader! Eeek!

We grilled out and had a fun dinner. Uncle Jordan is not pictured but he did join us!

Colton asked for ice cream sundaes to celebrate!

MMMmmmm!

Summer Gymnastics Meet

Summer LOVES gymnastics! She had her meet last week and had a blast. She got 2nd on floor, 2nd on bars, 4th on beam, and 2nd overall. As I told her going into the meet, it doesn't matter how you do, just have fun! And she did! I loved seeing all her smiles as she does what she enjoys. Here are a few videos and pictures.

Larkyn also had her last day of gymnastics. She doesn't have a meet, but she did get to come stand on the block, say TA-DA, and get a ribbon. She had a mighty energetic TA-DA!

Dance

Larkyn's dance recital got moved to the weekend we will be out of town for a family reunion, so I videoed her two dances this past week. Larkyn has loved dance this year. When I asked her which activity she would most like to repeat and do again next year she without hesitation said DANCE!

Swimming

Larkyn has improved so much in swimming this year. She can now swim quite far with no floaties. She still needs to work on taking a breath, but she is doing fantastic. She has one more lesson to wrap up the year, and then will do a camp in July with her siblings.

Soccer

Soccer is a month and a half in and Colton LOVES it. He is #5 and plays on the Navy Sharks. He has scored several goals, is strong on defense, and truly gives each game his all. My favorite part of watching him play is his enthusiasm for the game! His coaches are fantastic and really make it fun.

School Stuff

Summer and Larkyn on bus to 2nd grade Stages Theater Field trip (Mommy and Larkyn chaperoned)

Daddy chaperoned Colton's Kindergarten field trip to Children's Museum and Como zoo

From what I hear, Daddy was a really fun chaperone! (Colton's group)

I helped with the 2nd grade track and field day. Here is a picture of Summer with her class (front left).

Summer was leader of the week this month and got to bring in a guest reader. She chose Grandpa K becuase "he has really good voices"! Grandma, Larkyn and I enjoyed watching as Grandpa read one of Summer's childhood favorite books, Brigets Beret, complete with wearing Summer's beret :).
