Melia’s 8th Grade Graduation

We’re so proud of our daughter, Melia, but it’s also a little sad to know that my baby is old enough to be going to high school this fall. Melia graduated from 8th grade on Monday, and she received a total of 11 awards plus a plaque for her outstanding grades. She graduated in the top 10% of her class! We’re so proud of her!!

Here’s a couple of pictures of her receiving her awards:

Congratulations on all of your hard work! We are so proud of you, sweetheart!

Busy Week Is Coming To An End…….

and for that I am very thankful. It’s actually been a very busy month, but whose counting (besides me)? We’ve had 8th grade and 5th grade graduations as well as a 5th grade Honor’s Tea, and then a class trip to Dollywood. I’ll be making separate blog entries about the graduations!

Then today, Katie had choir practice at church this morning, and then we decided to take on culling our 4 young roos. Now that all of that is done, I’m wore out, but I’ve got to come up with something for our Homecoming Dinner at church tomorrow afternoon. Chicken, maybe? LOL It’s a good possibility.

I can tell you one thing though, my back is killing me! I’m ready to hit the hay, but there’s still daylight so my day is not done. Tomorrow, I will definitely be resting. I’m so glad that school is finally out for the summer. I think the kids are, too!

Menu Plan for 05/18-05/24

 MPM

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve had a chance to post a menu.  I’ve missed having my meals all planned out for me already.  So, without further ado:

Breakfast:

Lunch:

  • leftovers or
  • sandwiches

Dinner:

  • BBQ chicken
  • spaghetti with sauce and garlic bread
  • salmon patties
  • leftovers
  • baked potatoes
  • Homecoming dinner at church

We’ll be going to Dollywood on Friday with the school, so I’ll pack snacks and sandwich stuff but we’ll eating at least one meal in the park itself.
