Sunshine! Summer is here! Yah! It has been so beautiful here lately! School got out on Friday. I worked until Wed. It has been nice having some time off.

Wed. I had a job at one of the elementary schools and I got to do field day. It was fun. It was sunny and in the 70s. The only problem was that I wasn’t prepared for it. I needed a hat, sunscreen, and sensible shoes. But I still had fun! I got to supervise the field hockey in the morning and in the afternoon the soccer. At Pleasant Glade they have several fun activities for the kids to do, a small obstacle course that they squirted water at them at the end, bowling, badminton, volleyball, tug of war, soccer, field hockey, those bouncy balls that you can sit on with a handle and bounce (who knows what you call them..) bubbles, a huge parachute, Frisbees, a huge jenga game, the cup stacking game, hula hoops, and loud speakers with fun music blaring and a popsicle and water station. There may have been more activities that I couldn’t see or forgot. It was fun that the kids had about 2 hours to come and go where they wanted to go. I wanted to take pictures of the beautiful grassy area and fun activities, but with all the school kids around, I didn’t want to look like a creeper. haha

Tomorrow, a group of us (the Martins, Hoevelers, Cheney kids, and Jennie Klumker) are going to wild waves. It is a lot cheaper if you go in June and with a group. It is supposed to be in the low 80s. I think it will be fun! I will mostly just sit around and watch the kids and visit with my friends. I’m hoping and planning on not getting burned! I’ve got all the precautions in order.. lots of sunscreen and a hat.

Tues, Wed, and Thur. I’m watching Kaleb Vest and Aurora. I’m so excited to see Aurora. I haven’t seen her since our trip to Utah. This is one of the longest times that I’ve gone with out seeing her. And the week after that Keagan is going to camp Helaman!! That seems so strange to me. I’m hoping to get a lot of organizing done this summer... we’ll see! My spare room. You can barely walk into it. I need to get it cleaned so I can have visitors!

Pictures:

My back yard. I love it, especially in the summertime.

Preschool graduation. My cute preschoolers. Preschool graduation was on Tuesday. They sang some cute songs for their parents and got a little diploma. It was fun! And the weather was perfect!

I know, I know, I say this all the time sorrynotsorry.. but I love my rms and I love when I get to hear from them when they go home. I got this fun picture of Melissa and Oliphant hanging out. He’s going to BYU and just moved to Provo.

Melissa and Chaz posted on facebook that they’re in a relationship... must be getting serious. It’s a strange place in life to be, the mother of someone so old. We met him in April. He seems nice.

And my little friend Cruz. He’s in my preschool class and sometimes I watch him. He is so cute. I asked him if he still took naps, he told me no, but wanted to come cuddle with me, this after just a few minutes. I think he still takes naps.

Today was another ward conference. We have 2 more. All in the Yelm building. One of the best things is being able to sustain the church officers. It was a little strange and sad to not have Elder Perry in the list of names we heard.

Primary was really good today. They sang the song “The Holy Ghost” I loved hearing about the song and hearing the children sing it. The spirit was really strong. I love the line “And makes our hearts rejoice.”

The Holy Ghost

When Christ was on the earth,

He promised he would send

The Holy Ghost to comfort us,

Our true, eternal friend.

The Holy Spirit whispers

With a still small voice.

He testifies of God and Christ

And makes our hearts rejoice.

Have a great week everyone! I love you all!
