Schools OUT!!!

I love summer!  We have had so much fun already and it has only been two weeks.  I decided not to put Tevita into Summer Fun cause I wanted him all to myself.  I love the late nights, lazy days, every day at the beach, movies, family and friends. 

Right after Tevitas Kindergarten Graduation we went  to see Shrek 4.  The kids loved it, and Tame and I enjoyed it too. 

The next week we went to Hukilauland and crashed every day of Laie 7th Ward Camp.  We did not know we would spend the entire week there or we would have set up a tent. 

but. it.was.just.SO.fun

I had no choice! 

The week was full of  all things Disney. 

They even had a light parade with the kids dressed up holding their glow sticks.

The highlight had to be Game Night!  If you have never seen Minute to Win It, you should.   It is such a fun gameshow, and so easy to incorporate into family night, reunions, work parties etc. 

Tevitas highlight was the nerf swords hands down.  He walked with sword and shield at all times, ready to battle any one that got in his path.

I personally loved the slip-n-slide!

We set up the big screen projector last night and watched Alice in Wonderland and Fantastic Mr. Fox.  The yard was full of friends cuddled in blankets on the grass.  It was such a beautiful night.

In two weeks we will do it again, and hopefully every Friday after that til school starts again.

Next week we go to Laie 8th Ward Camp at Kakela. 

We are so excited.

DESTROY NERVOUS

For the past few weeks Tevita has been singing the Beatles.  "All You Need Is Love" was their song for May Day this year and I have watched Tevita practicing their dance for weeks now.

I knew Tevita was so completely freaked out that I have really tried to downplay May Day.

So without too much pushing or prodding I would let him practice his dance when he felt like it, and casually say good job at the end, trying not to psych him out for the big day.

Well the big day came, he got dressed, grumbled a few times about being nervous and scared, and got in the car.  As we were driving he yelled, "DESTROY NERVOUS".   It was not until we got to the PCC that the nervous really kicked in.  Once I found his class he completely freaked out, fell into a ball on the floor, and did not move.  I made sure Mrs K saw him then snuck away.  I watched from a far distance to make sure he did not run, and after about 10 minutes just went to my seat, having no idea what to expect.  When the kindergarteners came out,

SO DID HE.  

I was so proud of him and totally teared up!

For him, this was

a. HUGE. step!

Here is the picture to prove it.  (I did not bring my camera because, quite honestly, I did not expect him to get up there.  So, forgive the picture phone)

(he is in the very back row wearing an orange bandana.  I am sure you cannot see him at all)
