Making Memories in Girl Scouts.....

Kyla's Girl Scout troop had their end of the year ceremony on Friday night while I was chaperoning Hailey's dance (I missed it :( ). I knew they had been a busy troop this year but when Kyla showed me the # of patches she received......whoa....they were busy!!! She has been with this troop since she was in Kindergarten (they started as Daisy's), some girls have dropped out and others joined in but it is so much fun to see these girls grow up together, watch how they have changed and matured.

Here are the patches she earned:

Interest Projects

-Home is Where the Heart Is -Polar Bear Swim

-Cookies and Dough -Holiday Fun

-Camping -Sleepless at the Mall

-From Stress to Success -Thinking Day

-Paddle, Pole and Roll -Canoe our Waters

Event Patches -Levels 1 and 2YA

-I Belong '06-'07 -Level 3 Rescue

-Hiking -Camp Survivor
-Outdoor Cook -Mother Daughter Party
-Road Trip -Water Park

Here is a cute picture from her Daisy troop way back in the beginning....they are so little!!!! Kyla is the one on the far left...

In other exciting Kyla news, many of you know that I have been home schooling Kyla for the first time this year. Our plan from the beginning was to home school her for her first year of middle school and then have her go back to middle school after the year. I have been so nervous this year that she has been getting what she needs academically from me. Actually, she has been such a great student this year...working so hard and she is very self motivated.....so I don't really know how much I helped her but she just tested to get into the honors program next year at the middle school and she got in.....yeah!!!!! This was such a relief for me to know that she didn't lose any of smarty pantsness by being home with me. I am so proud of her and she can start of middle school next year with confidence.
