End School Begin Summer

So I know it has been a while since anything has posted and for that I am sorry. I have now updated all I have for right now. It has been a very busy end to the school year and beginning of summer. The boys are playing baseball and t-ball so we are at the park almost everyday of the week some weeks. We have some exciting things planned this summer as family and then a just me trip. The 30th of June we will be going to see Tony Stewart race again at Madison International Speedway and then July 14th we will be heading as a family minus Naarah to Great America to enjoy a day there. July 19-24th Naomi heads to church camp. Which should be tons of fun for her. She loves to meet new people and it is very easy for her to do so. She is going there not knowing any kids or having any friends but I am sure will come home with a ton of them. Then for my birtday Chris bought me a trip to go see my sister in Texas. =) So I decdied to be there for my nephew's 1st birthday. That will be a great long weekend trip for me by myself. Yup you heard me right- BY MY SELF!!!!!!!!!!!! =)
Onto grades/ report cards:
Naomi: once again did great. She ended the year with all A's again. So for this year every semester she got A's there was not any other grade on her report card for term. YEAH Naomi, keep up the good work mommy and daddy are very proud of you!!!!!!!! Also her test scores for the end of the year were awesome. Her student range score was higher then that of last fall. A couple percents went down just a little bit but she I think that is because other kids' scores went up. But she is still way above the district average even for the percents.
Noah: He also did a great job. He got all S's and one O (outstanding) which came in his math skills. We ended the year on a good reading note with Noah. I was worried about him after his last report card (which was still great by the way) but we have discovered that Noah really does not like reading. So I am trying to get him excited about reading chapter books. It is not working very well. I am trying not to push him but also making him read for me a half hour everyday. 15min in the morning and 15 in the afternoon and if he chooses to read more than great. =)
Ok with all that I think everyone should be up to date on the latest Hionis news.

Canoe Fest

Another picture from Canoe Fest. Naarah was so ready for sleeping.

Random Pictures

Naomi wanted to take a picture of Naarah with some stuffed animals. We got about 10 pictures but these were the cutest.

These pictures were at Canoe Fest fireworks. A Hionis family tradition when it is not raining.

Last Day of School

Noah and his best friend and their teacher Miss Nowak!!

Noah and Miss Nowak!! He had a great year with another great teacher.

Naomi and her 3rd grade teacher Mr. Feldt. Also another year with a great teacher. We have been very lucky. He was an awesome guy. Naomi really enjoyed 3rd grade. I just can't believe that she will be in 4th grade next year. My baby is growing up.

the Bratfest M

Chris thought it would be fun to have the kids make the M it was just sitting in the middle of no where at bratfest.

Now they are trying to spell Mooo. =) We have at least one good O maybe next year the boys will catch on.

another bratfest picture

Brat Fest

We bought Naarah a hot dog and she wanted the Brat. So this is Naarah at her 2nd Bratfest enjoying time with Auntie Nickie and her brat.

Fun Spring

Naarah's first trip to the zoo this year

Noah and Nathanael hanging around at the zoo. We met Noah there because he was on his end of the year field trip.

This is Nathanael on the last day of soccer. He really enjoyed it.

Girls Night

This was our girls night with Auntie Nickie. The boys were gone camping and Auntie Nickie was home so we scooped her up for one last night before she headed back to Oklahoma. Naomi is completely happy whenever she is around. She loves to be with her and hang out with her and visit. So I think Naomi is starting to grow up. Loves chillin with the adults a lot of the times.
