Graduate

 Last week Clint became an official Kindergartner.  He graduated in a wonderful ceremony.  Can't you just see the excitement on his face?!?!?!

I asked Clint what he's most excited about happening in Kindergarten, and his reply; "I get to be with you every day Mommy."  Melt my mommy heart!  He is such a sweetheart!

He's so excited to be on summer break now.  He's been very busy staying in his jimmies and being a wild man at daycare all week.  Now I'm done with school too, so it's hang out time at the Copsey house!

Clint Turns 5!!

 He's been melting our hearts for five years now.  He drives his sisters crazy, plays hard like a wild man, and is as sweet as can be.

He was about 1 here probably close to 1 1/2. 

He has changed from the terrible 2's and 3's into a little man that is concerned with everyone's well being.  Today when I picked up toys and Abby wouldn't help and being a good mom I threatened to throw away her toys if she didn't help, he ran to action and said "I'll do it for her mommy."  He's into baseball like its no one's business.  He promises to hit one outta the park this season.
He's so excited to go to kindergarten next year.  He's reading already, and loves to show his new skill to anyone willing to listen.   He loves that he's a big boy.  Today he got to cut his own waffles with a knife this morning.  He's also very religious in his own way.  Father Glen's convinced we have a future priest on our hands.
I am so proud to be his mommy.  He and I are sharing Mothers Day and his birthday on the same day.  He was taking me out for ice cream and decided to bring the whole family along.  He will melt hearts for sure.

The Bishop Visits

This is a picture of Katie a couple of weeks ago reading during the Bishop's visit to Rock Springs.  For those of you who don't know the hierarchy of the church, Father Glen is on the left.  He is our parish priest.  He runs our church, school, and some of the churches in the surrounding area.  Bishop Ettiene is next to him on the right. He is in charge of all the churches in Wyoming.  He has to be one of the most personable Bishops I have ever met.  He had preformed the Confirmation of all the children in 8th grade the night before, and had agreed to say mass for us at school the next day.  We didn't find out until the week of the reading and Sister Helen (one of our teachers) gave a two page reading from the Acts of the Apostles to Katie to read.  You'd think she'd be nervous, and her voice would quiver reading in front of the Bishop.  But it didn't.  She read two pages without skipping a beat.  This is what I love most about our school, and I do love a lot about our school!  The children are given so many opportunities to speak publicly.  They learn to overcome the nervousness at people staring at them.  They read in front of crowds of 200 or more at Sunday mass.  What a gift!
