Gentry finishes elementary school

Katelyn, Ellie, Madelaine, Olivia and Gentry....These girls have been pretty tight through fourth and fifth grades.
Gentry and Megan Briggs. Megan is the only girl in the Briggs family, a family so special to us. They finally got to be in the same class this year.
Becky and Megan. They both look beautiful, don't you think.
I'm so proud of Gentry. She had 4 teachers rather than one this year. She leaves the house at 8:45 to go to school and then goes straight to swimming until 6:15 every night. She also practices swimming most Saturday mornings as well. She love to go to school and never complains but sometimes complains about swim practice especially on Saturdays. With this demanding schedule she managed to get straight A's all year and was also awarded a citizenship award, attendance award and presidential award for maintaining at least an A- through both 4th and 5th grades. She has a huge step next year in Middle school but Gentry can really succeed at anything she puts her mind and will into. See why I'm so proud? Way to go Gentry!!!

Congrats Gentry!! She looks so tall in those pictures!! I am just amazed that she is going to be in Jr. High!! Shouldn't she be watching barney on the couch with Dallon? They grow up to fast!

And the Briggs are so great! I am selfish to say that I am excited for them to be my "neighbors" now.
