Bye Bye Summer!

I can't believe I didn't post all summer except the first part of June!! We had a great first day of inservice. I don't have a classroom yet because it isn't finished but we toured them and they are beautiful! It will be fun to have a brand new room.
I am teaching first grade this year and that will be new too. I haven't done it for 20 years! I think it will be good for me to change things up a bit. My principal and vice-principal promised next year I could move back up to second with my students.
Scott and I went on a big cruise to Alaska. SOOO much fun! We will be married 25 years in March! Wow! It doesn't seem like it's been that long. We are excited to travel more and have plans for our home and places to go. Looks like another great 25 ahead!
Talk to you soon!

YES---Summertime!

Got a new haircut for summer. I met the hairstylist from Scott's EOU teacher education program. One of the students has a wife who cuts hair. We were talking at the end of the year BBQ and she sounded like she knew exactly what we should do with it. I LOVE IT! She's really great and really good. If you're interested, her name is Jen and she's at Ooh-La-La in Pendleton---right on Main Street. Fun!

Mother's Day

I got to spend Mother's Day driving to Idaho with my girls. We were going for a sad reason, but it was good to be with them. I wasn't sure they'd be able to come but they did at the last minute. We were going for Scott's aunt's funeral. He officiated the whole thing and did a wonderful job. So many people came to us afterward to say how good it was. We loved her very much and she always made family times good.

Drew turned 8!

I thought this was a cute picture. This is my nephew Drew with the gift we got him. He loved it. Whew! He turned 8 on April 2nd so I asked him if we could bring his gift on the 10th when we came for Aunt Julie's party. We had a great time and he was thrilled that his birthday went on a little longer. Wouldn't anyone?! :)

My Sister's 50th

We had a great Easter at the farm. My sister's sort-of surprise 50th party was Saturday. She already knew we were doing something. We had an egg hunt for her grandkids which was great fun. Scott put papers in them that said things like, "Go see Grandpa Bob for a dollar, ect." No one else knew about it. When the kids came to each adult with the papers, it was very funny to watch them pull out purses and wallets and look around for who did it!! So fun!! Everyone loved it. My sister loved her party---not so much the shirt I made her, but she was a good sport. Hope you all had a happy Easter too. I thank God that our Savior lives!!

24th Anniversary and flowers in my front yard!!

Spring Break is Coming!!

Alissa is home for Spring Break! Ashley is going to CA with some friends. I will miss not having them both here but at least I get one. :) We've already had several people here and I've cooked food and had a full house with laughter and movies and fun. We're headed to the cabin in a week---hope yours is great too!
