Trey's promotion...

So, when I was writing my last post, I did not include Trey's 5th grade promotion ceremony because I wanted to scan in his awards. Since I have a little time while waiting for maintenance to come fix our air-conditioner, I figured I would use it to your benefit! :)

We are so proud of all of our boys, but this particular post is just for Trey. Schools out here in our neck of the desert are separated differently than what we are use to. K-2nd grades are in one school, 3rd-5th in another, middle school is 6th-8th, and high school is the same with 9th-12th. That being said, Trey just completed 5th grade, promoting him to middle school. They had a graduation of sorts for them, and I have to be honest... I teared up a little when they were walking in. Most were dressed in nice clothes and walking proud while they played Pomp and Circumstance. I know. I know. He was simply being "promoted" to 6th grade. However, as little of an achievement as it may seem, it does not make us any less proud of what he has done and who he is.

He did not want to go every day, but he sucked it up!

It's official!!

I cannot explain how proud of him we are!!

IS THIS NOT AWESOME?!

These were the four awards he received. He was hoping for the Physical Fitness Award. They only handed one out for boys and one for girls, and he did not get it. However, he DID get an honorable mention for his work in attempting to reach it! I think that may have been the "coolest" part to him. I, personally, could not be more proud of him for the Presidential Award!!

I apologize for not sharing this with him sooner. I know you are all equally as impressed by his accomplishments, and I should not have been so selfish with the wonderful news!

(Just because I am sure it will come up..... Yes, Robert has a black eye. No, I did not give it to him.) :)
