Today was a lucky day.. I got to go to two primary programs. Ours and Lacey 6th ward. I love the primary program. It's fun to hear the children speak. And I love their music. So sweet and pure. The spirit is always so strong with the primary programs. One of the blessings of my calling!
My mom and Thom have been on vacation for the last couple of weeks. We have been watching their dog. One of my preschoolers loved her!


It was fun when they got back last night to hear about some of their adventures. We also got to see their pictures. They tried to take some selfies. They make me smile!


This one is for Elder Falter


Keagan had his Eagle board of review and got his Eagle! Now he just has to wait for the big head person to sign the papers and then it will be official.


So proud of him!

I saw a post of my childhood friend having a garage sale. I haven't seen her in several years.. I just found out that she lives a few blocks away and will be moving soon. I went to her garage sale and saw her. It was fun catching up with her a little bit. My friend Becki and I. We were friends from first grade in Rochester, Wa


Aurora came over to get ready for homecoming. Hard to believe that she is going to dances again.


And I love getting messages, snaps, whatever from my RMs
Hahaha


And yes, Keagan still likes to cuddle with me. Love it!


Love ya,

This week was a good week! Melissa and chaz surprised us and came a day early. They were missing Hazel. 

We had a fun day and went to the beach on Tuesday. It was perfect for a few reasons.. it was record breaking hot in Lacey and cooler at the beach. And I just love the beach! I've been blessed this year with being able to go so much! 

And we got stuck in the sand! Luckily a couple people helped us and we got out pretty fast!

It's been so fun having them around!

And of course, it was Keagan's first day of school! Last year! I'm going to be sad at the end of the year! He plans on going on a mission next year. Write him, then, please. 

Playing downstairs in our playroom. 

They left Friday afternoon. It's always so sad for me when they leave. I always have a hard time. Thank goodness I get to see them often for how far away they live!

Friday night we got to go over to our good friends, the Falter's house for dinner. The sisters were there and it was fun visiting with them and hearing their sweet testimonies. 

Next week I "get" to give a talk. Anyone has any great insights for me? My topic is https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2017/04/becoming-a-disciple-of-our-lord-jesus-christ?lang=eng

I start my preschool Tuesday. 8 kids. Wish me luck!

Love you all,
