House Progress and Other Pics

The house is coming along so fast! The last few weeks they have accomplished so much.  They have stained all the wood cabinets and handrailing/step of stairs, completed all the brick and trim paint, installed all the countertops, installed all the tile including the shower surrounds and kitchen backsplash, began the rock fireplace surround, poured the back porch patio, and did the first grade of the yard.  Our builder is saying first part of July- we are getting really anxious for it to all come together.  We have enjoyed many parts of the farm house but we're ready to have our own home.

Rucker Rocks - I told you last week Kelsie got the Rucker Rocks award for the week.  We went to the morning assembly and took a few pics:

Kelsie and her friend Miranda who also got Rucker Rocks that week.

Kelsie's Texas History project.  She had to write a paper and make a guy from a 2-liter bottle.  This was completely Kelsie's idea to use clay.  We found this really light weight modeling clay that dries and hardens.  Kelsie did this by herself with the exception of drawing the shape of the tie.  She did so well on this, I had to share. She got an A on the project.

Field Day - Rucker had field day on Friday. The weather was beautiful, warm with a cool breeze.  We had a good time watching the 4th grade classes compete against each other.

This was a hilarious game called the "team walk"  The kids are standing on a ski and they have to step at the same time to move forward.  They must work together and it is hilarious.  

Here is Kelsie's team crossing the finish line first.  They got the hang of it "One, Two, Three, Left.....One, Two, Three, Right"  Very cute!

Roughrider Game - our friends have season tickets to see the Roughriders at the Dr. Pepper Ballpark in Frisco. They could not go to the game on Friday night so they let us have their tickets.  The seats were super close to the field and we had quite a few foul balls over our section.  It was a great night for baseball.  Around the 7th inning, it started raining but since it was just a quick rain storm, they kept playing.  So, we stayed under the awning and waited for it to pass and then finished watching the game.  It was close but at the end, we lost by one run.  It was a cool night and a great fireworks show after the game.  We just had a great night at the ballpark!!!

A beautiful night at the ballpark.  Kelsie waiting in line for Dippin Dots.

Hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend.  We are looking forward to our last week of school.  We are squeezing in 2 field trips, end of year party and awards ceremony so it should be the most fun week of school all year!  I'll share pics soon.
