1st grade fun!

Next year I am so excited to be teaching with five amazing women in first grade at Allendale!
Jamie, Johnell, Julie, Me, Audry and Amanda

We couldn't wait til August to start being a team, so
we decided to start with a cook out at Jim and Audry's house! Here are the guys we love! And here are pictures of the little ones we love.

First, the three littlest ones....Annabella Clark, Koda Carpenter and Addie Jackson(the girls are already fighting for him! heehee)(Look at Addie's beautiful blue eyes!) Here she is with Daddy and MommyThe Justice Models (Maddie, Chloe and Emily)Sweet Mary Elizabeth and Daddy in the water table....

Dean, Laura (& Pink Baby) and Cami wadin'.....

Happy Chris (?) and Koda....

The beautiful Bilicki girls (Emily, Jamie and Maddie).......

Julie and her little man Blake......

Amanda and her sweet girls (Mary Elizabeth and Annabella).....
But we did not just sit around and look cute...we played and played hard!

Here is a mean game of teatherball with Emily, Chloe and Blake....

Here are Dean and Blake showin' us how it is done....

They played so hard, they had to call in the handywoman to fix the stand!

(....or try. Thanks Jim for finishing my efforts!)Did I mention it was 110 degrees outside?
We had water fun with the slip and slide.....

Chloe showin' us how it is done!


But, the fun REALLY began when a friendly game...or games...of corn hole were played!

Congrats to Eric and Jim as the Corn Hole Tournament Champions!!!!

I am looking forward to many more fun times with a group of wonderful people!
(and cooler weather!)
