Jumping for Joy - School's Out!

Yay -- Maddie finished her first year of college the other day. She's had a busy couple of semesters and has been taking required courses and some Health Sciences courses. She's learned a lot and has worked so hard. We're so proud of her and her efforts!!

She's going to be taking three courses in summer school too. And volunteering at one of our hospitals with the activity cart. Only one of the hospitals is allowing volunteers currently and they must have a LOT of volunteers! While she offered to be there 2-3 days a week, they are only allowing one day a week for 2 hours. She'll be driving the cart with toys, games, magazines around to patients.

And I may recruit to help out in the office getting rid of old files, etc. Add in some pool time and it should be a busy summer!

Bye Bye Sophomore Year!

Soooo, sophomore year in high school is finito -- finished, all done, bye bye!

Her big smile says it all - doesn't it!

She's ready for summer!

And What a Year it's Been!

A few of the highlights . . . 

Cheering at all the Reserve and JV Games!

Doing tons and tons of homework.

Figuring out Quizlet and how to use it to help

prepare for tests!

Using the MathElf app!

Getting a driver's license!

Driving to School!

Celebrating at Scooters!

Sewing!

Easter at DisneyWorld!

Being my No. 1 Sweet Daughter!

Here she was in 2010 after finishing 2nd grade!

 

Sleepy mornings, summer schedules, pool time
here she comes!

School's Out -- Freshman Year is in the Books!

Let's have a hip-hip-hooray for the end of the

school year!  Yippee!

It was a busy year for Miss Mads and as you all know, freshman year is

a huge adjustment!

Managing classes, homework, studying and cheerleading all

kept her very busy.

Add to that her new love of tap dancing (once a week lessons), guitar (weekly lessons) 

and her burgeoning sewing business -- that girl had it going on!

As she would say about homework -- the struggle is/was real! 

And she made it through!

Finals ended this morning!

Her summer looks bright with cheer practices starting

in full gear in July again.

So, the month of June will most likely be devoted to having her wisdom teeth removed, 

working on an online PE walking class and  her

sewing business.

Her sewing skills are exploding!  She is improving and trying new projects.

She watched a you-tube tutorial and sewed up

the infinity scarf in the photo for me

for Mother's Day and promptly borrowed it for photos! :)

Of course, her main sewing business remains doggie bandanas!

I'm so proud of all her hard work -- she's sold around 280 bandanas

since the end of January!

There are some stylin pups out there!  :)

Mr. Tennis and I are super proud of her and all her determination

and hard work during freshman year!

Way to go Miss M!
