Giant Chair = Photo Opportunity

My school recently had the annual Community Fair and we borrowed this giant chair to raise money for our Relay for Life team (to support the American Cancer Society).  But, we had to take some pictures in it first, of course!

Work Ladies!

These two lovely ladies and I are teachers who vote for education!

Also, for the record, I love them both and could not imagine work without them there.

Easter 2016

It just occurred to me that I did a post about preparing for Easter but never posted about the actual day.  We had a lovely day at Grandma Robin and Grandpa Jorge's house complete with an egg hunt, baskets, and swimming.

We were missing Grandma Barbara and Grandpa Pop.  Grandma Barbara was in a rehabilitation facility and Grandpa Pop was at home.  Much to my extreme sadness and surprise, Grandma Barbara passed away that night.  Maybe that's why I was procrastinating on this post.  Anyway, I hope and plan to write more about that later but that's it for now.

Easter was a good day.

Substitute?!?

Today, as part of an elaborate Teacher Appreciation Surprise at Mesquite, I had the opportunity to be a substitute teacher in Lilly's class!  It was fun and she was an absolute angel!  I'm so proud of what a hard-worker she is and how diligent she is with her school -work.

Kylee Got Married!

This past weekend, Kylee got married!  It was a lovely wedding and a nice excuse for me and Stevie to get a babysitter for the night.  My Mom and Dad went to the wedding too and Dad was even mentioned during the toast!  It was beautiful, even though guests got rained on for a few minutes right before the ceremony began.  Unfortunately, this is the only picture we have from the evening!

Easter Preparation!

To prepared for Easter we colored eggs and made these yummy pretzel flower snaps.  It was a really good, Good Friday =)

Family Day

A few weeks ago we had a rare day in which nothing was planned!  We took full advantage of that and headed out to a UA Baseball game followed by some frozen yogurt.  That evening, we took a family walk in our new neighborhood and our next door neighbors stopped us to give the girls these stuffed animals and me the beautiful Easter plant.  They offered Stevie a beer but he declined =)
