Almost summer...

Although it's not officially summer until June 21st, the weather Friday was perfect for sprinklers and squirt guns!

 Pest control using squirt guns!

What it would be like to be so carefree!?!

I looked out the window...

and what did I see? Daddy with Cash and Colby eating dinner, yippee!

Sometimes while Tiff is at Young Women's, Mark and the boys come over. 

 Daddy and Cash got to fly the kite.

Listening to songs on the iPad is lots of fun!

Hawaiian Buddy...

Nana got the cutest outfit for Colby from Hawaii!

 Just chillin and enjoying some watermelon!

 "Don't ask me smile one more time Grandma!"

Who is this big boy!?!

TBT ~ Throwback Thursday... Farrah Era

A long time ago...

Wordless Wednesday ~ Spiderman...

Memorial Day 2014

Perfect weather...

Remembering Glenn, Johnnie Belle and Jeff....

We always take time to walk around and look at the graves. I like this quote: "Courage son, brother, friend; and on, on to the victory!"

 "Trust in the Lord... Till the finish line"

Those that die so young really tugged at my heart. I love this grave stone with all of the Young Women value engraved around the edge of the heart.

Christopher took us to Goodwood for a lovely lunch. The onion rings were out of this world. Where would you even get onions that big!?! Thanks Chris, it was a nice day.

Words to live by ~ Back in the light...

“The heavens will not be filled with those who never made mistakes but with those who recognized that they were off course and who corrected their ways to get back in the light of gospel truth.”

― Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Fort progress...

School Days ~ last week...

The last week of school was crazy. Assignments were turned in, grades recorded, students were loud and the teachers were tired. We watched a lot of movies, had parties, moved boxes and cleaned up the classroom. We also had the annual teachers vs. students basketball game. I didn't stick around to see who won, but neither side showed any mercy!

I was terrified to go back to work, it had been 30 years since I worked outside the home. But Mrs. Otto and the other teacher assistants were so patient and kind. They eased my fears from day one.

Our room, it looks so empty now.

My desk... I learned a lot about myself this year. I know I can do hard things if I have to. 

Two of the best teachers this side of the Mississippi! It was a pleasure to help Mrs. Larsen and Mrs. Otto this year. I was officially Mrs. Otto's T.A. but I enjoyed helping Mrs. Larsen too. I am so sad Mrs. Otto won't be coming back in the Fall. She's off to BYU to get her masters in creative writing. She is a wonderful women... so genuine, loving, fun, smart and sweet. She appreciated everything I did.

My school peeps, the finest group of women to work with. Victoria, Carol, Consuelo and Ari, were are a good team! 

I was the grandma of the group, but I didn't feel old around them!

It was a pleasure to get to know Candy. She is sweet and smart. Candy teaches band and choir. She did a great job, and is very talented.

Candy told me all the things she had to do the last day of school. She had some instruments that needed to be repaired and didn't really have time to take them to the music store. I told her I would do it and she couldn't have been more grateful. It's not everyday you have a tuba in the front seat of your car!

My friend Shawn, he made me laugh everyday!

Yearbook signing, tears were shed!

Consuelo and I signing a few yearbooks! Mrs. Larsen and her staff did a great job.

I even made it in the yearbook, and it's such an attractive picture!

The addition is coming along nicely. I know the junior high students are excited to have their own building.

There is so much to do before before school starts again in August.

School is out for the summer, yahoo!!!

The Brown Rangers...

Tiffani sent a text telling us that Cash had a soccer game and Grandpa sent a picture back doing a thumbs up.

Tiff responded with Cash and Colby doing a thumbs up as well. We thought it was so cute!

The Brown Rangers take the field...

Half Time...

 Cash with his good friend Reid.

Reid was spitting out the white part of his orange and Cash was puzzled by it. He said, "Reid, what are you doing?"

 I asked Cash and Reid to smile but the sun was in their eyes.  

 What cute soccer players, we love watching them play!
