Emmy's 8th grade graduation

St. Mary's Academy had a Mass and a graduation for the 8th graders.  Emmy sang in the select choir and looked beautiful receiving her certificate.  It was 3 years of ups and downs at St. Mary's where she grew a lot as a person. She and I both agreed that she is more herself than ever. She is confident in her gifts and talents and she has a great group of friends. She has a strong faith in God and is not shy about loving her family or loving herself.  We are so proud of our little girl who is now a young lady ready for high school next fall.

 Bobby brought home some certificates from his track meets and also his math testing scores. He still scores at the top and higher than school and St. Mary's averages (by far). We are excited to continue to watch him grow.

Mother's day, baseball, choir concert

Emmy participated in her last choir concert as an 8th grader.  She was beautiful on the stage and she always sings her heart out.  She has found much success in choir these past 3 years and I know she will accomplish even more in HS.

Emmy made me a cake with  my favorite buttercream frosting for Mother's day!  Grandpa got two slices out of it before she could deliver it to me.  This is pretty common place in the Moldenhauer household.  It was sweet of her to think of me. She spent the weekend with her grandparents while we were in Fargo for Bobby's baseball tourney.

Day one of baseball was rainy and windy. It rained the entire day and got really wet and muddy....baseball moms were ready!  It was fun to be back watching Bobby's team play again.  He did great and always has so much fun. The team beat a MN all star team and a West Fargo team we haven't beaten in years so we were off to a good start.

 The 2nd day of the tournament was warm and sunny but we ended up with 2 losses.  Bobby came in to relief pitch and got us out of a bind. He pitched great once again and helped his team. He is lead off batter and always gets his job done out there. Mother's day was a day of baseball! I loved seeing my kids happy and I cherish these weekends full of memories together.

Graduation Class of 2023

 My 2nd year as Program Chair went well.  My evaluations are great, I enjoy my work for the most part. I am figuring out how to do this well!  The Class of 2023 crowned me with the superlative for GOAT (Greatest of All Time) and most likely to see out running.  That was fun to see, they were a fun group to work with.

 

New walk up song and a big hit with 2 outs

 

Bobby baseball and track accolades

Bobby got to play two pre-season weekends in SD.  He had the best time and batted over 600. He played shortstop and enjoyed hanging out with his friends! He has been placing in the 1600 m run regularly!  He got 2nd and a 5th place in that event. He also was able to place in the 800 m dash a few times at track meets.  It has been fun to see him excel this month in his sports.
 

Emmy breaks the St. Mary's school POLE VAULT RECORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Emmy had a goal to reach 7 feet and beat the former St. Mary's school pole vault record of 6 foot 6 inches.  She did it at one of her spring meets and she and WE were so proud.  Her grandma made it back from Florida in time to see her accomplish this big goal.  What a fun memory and moment for her to shine.
