My chaotic life raising six kids
Kayli’s 8th grade graduation was held this evening. She got to sing at the ceremony several times and also played her flute. We are all so proud of all her accomplishments, she is such a smart, beautiful and talented individual. We know she will do great things. For her graduation, we gave her a motorcycle helmet and jacket so she can go on motorcycle rides with her father.
The 8th grade awards night was held this evening for Kayli’s class. Kayli received 12 award pins, one for every academic subject, plus one for perfect attendance and another for her excellent score on a national math test. Kayli also received a gold cord, for her outstanding academic achievements. Since Talia had also received one when she was graduating 8th grade, we had her give the cord to Kayli.
During the ceremony Kayli played her flute, while her friend sang. They both did an awesome job. Here’s the video of their performance.
After the awards, the 8th graders had a dance. The first dance was the girls with their fathers and the boys with their mothers.
Here’s some more pics from this evening.
Today was Kayli’s last day at St. Bonaventure School. She has gone their since kindergarten and next year will move on to high school. She is excited not to have to wear uniforms next year and that she will be able to wear whatever shoes she wants. She will miss all of her friends as they will be scattered at several different high schools.
I bought a special mylar filter for my camera so I could take pictures of the Transit of Venus across the Sun today.
Falyn’s dance school had their annual recital today. Falyn’s class did a tap routine to “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”. Falyn’s shoe fell off in the middle of the dance. She sat down, put the shoe back on and then pick right back up in the dance, just like a pro. She said she had a great time on stage. She just loves performing.

For AP Physics, Talia and her team made a boat out of paper and thin strips of wood. They got extra credit for making the boat and got to drop a test if the boat makes it all the way across the school pool. They worked really hard and made a great boat that had no trouble making it across. A lot of the other boats sank before reaching the other side.
