Okay really! You ask for a side salad and this is what you get. No dressing and yep that is 2 crunchy noodles. Yep only 2
! Yummy!

Space Theme

I decided on a space/stars/astronaut/alien theme for this next year! I'm excited and decided to make this rocket. It's too expensive to buy so...I'm going to attempt to make it myself. We will see how it goes!

Challenge!

I took a friends blogging challenge. For the month of July I have to post a picture every day. This is a big challenge for my failing blog. So I'm starting early so i have a couple of fall back days. But here we go!

These are the beautiful flowers that I see every time I leave my house. When I bought this house they were nothing but dried up brown sticks that I cut down to nothing. I'm so glad I listening to my sister and didn't dig them up like I wanted to.

My sad, sad blog!

I'm looking at the first week this summer where I haven't had something scheduled every day. So I'm finally sitting down to update my sad, sad, blog. The hard part is the catch up so here we go!

• Finished up the school year with a bang! Had an over emotional kindergarten graduation. It was so hard to say goodbye to this group. So many great kids and fantastic parents. I really do miss them. Its hard to see someone every day and then they are just gone.


• Had some big changes in my grade level. Lost a teacher to a different grade and gained a new Spanish Immersion teacher. Kindergarten will be different next year...I'm not so sure how I feel about that yet. But I'm going to be positive.


• Spent a good week just catching up on sleep and appointments once school was done.


• I had the best time watching the Smiths at the Idaho High School Rodeo finals. I only got to see Garrett in team roping and bull riding but he did really good. Sadee did great in the cow cutting. They are so talented and amazing.


• I realized how much I miss living in Rexburg. There is just a feeling of home there for some reason. I love spending time with LaRee there. It will be a sad day when that land gets developed. I hope it never happens.


• Had a fantastic weekend in Jackson Hole with Karen and Sharla's crew. So much fun making new memories in that town. My fam got really bored hearing my stories about that place. Logan had us laughing the whole time.


• I had a whole week at Karen's house taking care of Regan, Lex, and Haden. Karen and the older girls went to girls camp. We had fun and the kids were really good. I decided that not working is fun when your on your own, but add kids to the mix and it's a lot of work!


• Had a lot of fun at the Syracuse parade with my BPE friends. I love that I can send out an email for my kindergarten friends to come join me and so many show up. I love them so much!

Well, that's about it. I'm loving my new house and figuring out all the odds and ins of home ownership. I'm thankful everyday for a great brother in law that comes running when I don't know what I'm doing. Overall life is great.

I'm excited to be with my family this weekend for the July 4th weekend. Should be fun!

Here are some pictures to back all of that up!
