June

June 1st was Utah Lake day.  We went down with Catheys and did several activities.  Sailing, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing etc.  Had a fun time!

I was in charge of field day this year.  We had a photo booth, face painting, dunk tank, inflatables and a DJ.  Kids had fun. 

Our neighbors set up their tent and the boys had so much fun hanging out in there for a few days.  No sleep overs, but plenty of afternoons!

5th grade Great American Day.  Kids who passed off several things (like memorizing the preamble to the Constitution, memorizing the 50 states and capitols etc.) received an award. 

After the awards and hotdog lunch they had activites that the kids rotated through.

 Dalton had his end of year swim party. 

Shopping at 6:30 a.m.  The road is yours!

 The Nefs are moving at the end of June so we went to the park with Catheys for a picnic dinner.  Will be so sad to see them go!

 Ellie Sue put a cookie on Jason's shoulder.  When asked why, she said she didn't want it any more so she put it there.

May

 May is here!  The weather began to warm up and then BAM!  It snowed again. It has snowed a lot this year...and in spring rain.  This is good, but it is nice to see the warmer weather again.  This week (May 5) we've gotten rain again, but when the sun shines again it makes everything look so green and fresh!!

 I watch Studio 5. They did another live taping this year at the Hale Center Theater.  They taped on the stage of Steel Magnolias.  Fun to see again.

 Hannah wanted to get together so she could practice her cake decorating skills.  We decided to combine it with family birthdays.

 School film festival!

 We'll be sad to not be with these friends next year.  But we plan to keep in touch.  I hope we can!!

 I like some Indian foods.  I tried making chicken tiki masala with naan and it worked!  Jacob got up the next day asking what was for dinner.  I told him leftovers.  He said, I was hoping it would be leftovers.  :)

Jacob is a Boy Scout now and one of his badges, Environmental Science, required finding out about pollination.  Our friends have a cousin who has some beehives so we went to his home in Alpine and he told us about it.  I thought it was really interesting. 






Getting some honey.

For Mother's Day we had Jason's family over.

Draper Elementary has an art teacher full time and the kids do some great work...that ties in with science. Here is Jacob's bell.

Headed off to a very muddy, cold camp out. 
But he had fun!

Our back fence is falling apart.  Jason and I were working on putting up some new cross boards.  I didn't pull my hair back and it got caught in the drill motor. 

5th grade took a field trip to the State Capitol.  Here is Philo T. Farnsworth. 










The pillars here are 26,000 lbs.

One of my former colleges retired.  It was so fun to go and see everyone!

Was able to see Dean Swensen.  I taught his son my very first year also.

Jacob is hedgehog obsessed!
