Kyra and "The Bee"

Kyra took second place in her class spelling bee so she went on to the school spelling bee for the 1-3rd grades. She did so AWESOME! I was SO proud of her and SO nervous watching her! We had studied alot and she did really well she ended up taking about 10th place out of like 30 kids and the word she got out on was continent...which she had been afraid of the whole time, but then she spelled it all correct until she paused after the last e, and then added the t, but forgot the n. She said she thought she had already said the n. Kyra has come A LONG way out of her shell the last few years. A couple of years ago she would NEVER have done something like this where she was on the spot in front of so many people so I was SO proud of her for doing it so well!

I gave her a heart "good luck ring" so she could rub it when she got nervous

Waiting nervously for the spelling bee to start

She earned a ribbon and we brought her flowers

Adrie was so sweet to support her. Kris was out of town all week while we were studying and Adrie was so cute to take Bree in another room and play with her while I helped Kyra. Then when I left Bree at Julie's for the spelling bee I asked Adrie if she would rather stay too and play with Aiden but she chose to come to the spelling bee to watch Ky.

Grandma Linda was able to come too since dad was out of town. Afterwards we enjoyed a nice big banana split ice cream sundae at Leatherby's to celebrate!
