jets vs. bombers - John

had this ready in my drafts too and since i just posted on john's kinder celebration...

I figured I'd continue with his kindergarten year.

the jets v. bombers t-ball game between the 2 kindergarten classes is a big deal.

John was our first jet, darrel was our second jet this last year!

hopefully it won't take me 7 years to post about when he played in this game :)

these little kiddos are so adorable.

our sweet little baby d with his big 4th grade sister and her friends.

and with dad too, so special that he was able to come to the big game.

and with his big 6th grade brother, Andrew.

also, Andrew with his best friend Paul- they are still best friend to this day...

and they are about to start college in a few weeks!

                        

Paul is an only child and his mom informed me last week that she wants Paul to have

six kids like we do. 

she can't wait for lots of grand babies, so sweet.

these two have an amazing friendship.

watch out Loyola Marymount and Gonzaga!

Christopher also had such great friends, they were big 8th graders here.

from 8th grade down to kindergarten, we had the grades covered this year.

so thankful for all the wonderful memories our kids have of their time at ssj.

John and Jake, still good buddies today - John told me last week they are best friends.

can't believe these two had their first day of 7th grade today!

go jets!!!

kindergarten celebration - John 2014

another draft of pics i had saved, john's end of the year kindergarten celebration...

and he starts 7th grade in a week and a half! i have a lot of blogging to catch up on.

my little john john, such a sweet kindergartener and a sweet sweet boy.

with his 6th grade buddy, trevor  - they have been family friends of ours for a long time.

and andrew with his kinder buddy in the next pic and then paul with his.

and our little d baby with his big 8th grade brother.

the sweet songs that are always sung under the direction of sr. christine.

we loved her, such a wonderful woman who is no longer with us.

andrew, ella, d and paul - love these kiddos.

and nani too.

kindergarten teachers mrs. escobar (d just had the same teacher) & mrs. mulligan.

i remember how excited john was each day to come home and see his baby brother.

he would run in so eager to see d and spend time with him right away.

since chris drove the carpool to school that year i did not have to pick up, it was great!

and then two years later when lia was born he had that same excitement all over again.

amare, john, jimmy and jake - all still good friends now going into 7th grade.
