School's Out for the Summer!


Well, folks... school is out for the summer! Friday was the last day of school and it was a hard day to say the least. I got a little teared up during the end of year slide show I created for my class but as they were leaving at the very end I lost it (along with about 7 students, including 2 boys :)). This has been an amazing year with such wonderful students- I couldn't have asked for a better class. They were so much fun, so smart, and filled with so much personality! Although I am sad I am glad for a break- even though I am doing summer reading groups twice a week. I have several projects planned around the house and of course getting ready for next year! I won't have a whole lot to do so come visit if you get bored!!

Graduation Time!

I only wish that I was posting this to say that Steve graduated this week- but that's not the case, soon, but not quite yet! Seeing how as I graduated a year ago- that leaves one option, well... my nephew. On Wednesday evening my little nephew, Luke, graduated from preschool. It is so funny that they make such a big deal about graduation in all these grades. But it was fun! They all wore cap and gowns and put on a short program. It was fascinating to watch but it reminded me that I only have 3 1/2 more days with my own kids until our small (very small- just me and them) graduation. This has been an absolutely amazing year and I am definintely not ready to give this group up. Well, anyway, here are some pictures from Wednesday...
Livi and I during the program!

Livi was definitely enjoying that drink I brought her- she literally chugged it!!

Kelsie & Garrett's Wedding

On Tuesday (May 12th) my best friend Kelsie got married! It was such a wonderful and I was so happy that I got to share it with her. Steve and I were invited to the sealing which was in the Bountiful Temple. Neither of us had ever been to that temple before and it was absolutely beautiful. We both took the day off and headed up for the temple at about 10:30. The sealing was at 12:15 and it was wonderful and I was grateful to share it with them. I loved remembering our wedding day 3 1/2 years ago and what a wonderful day that was!

Steve and I while we were waiting for Kelsie & Garrett to come out of the temple!

The flowers at the temple were gorgeous!!

I only was able to get a couple of pictures of Kelsie & Garrett when they came out because 1- my battery died and 2- Steve and I had to leave pictures early to get home to meet our landscaper. But they did look wonderful!

We loved being able to share this unforgettable day with them!!

Girls Night In!

Last Friday I got to spend an entire night with my very best friends in the world! Since Kelsie is getting married next week, we (Kelsie, Sara, Shaunelle & Rachel- minus Holly :() all met up in Alpine for dinner and a movie. It was so fun to spend the night with the girls and just to relax and talk about old times!
