Eliza had such a sweet teacher all year. I was able to go and work in the classroom once a week and got to know her. I am amazed by teachers even more! What a sweet lady.

Eliza's Kindergarten Program
Yes, I am a bit behind with this...actually the whole month of May went very fast and June is even worse so I'm really behind. So, at least you get this. Eliza's class puts on this cute program. She even got to hold the world. She was darn cute!

Sister Kallon...AGAIN!
Once again I got to see Sister Kallon! What a fun day with her. We listened to her speak to the Lakes Stake Relief Society. After they had rooms and rooms of projects for the sisters to work on. I was able to be with her during the afternoon and take her shopping and drop her off at the airport. She has a wonderful way of making everything in life sound manageable and easy. She is a true inspiration!
My friend Sandra, me, Sister Kallon, her friend who lives here.

Happiness...
This morning has been so darn pleasant...I think this is the last week of spring here but May really has been quite delightful. A bit windy here and there but the AC has been on for just a couple of days this whole month! Last year I remember trying to hold out until May to turn it on and I didn't make it by a day or two. So, soon I will bid farewell to my low power bill.
Scott has started his diet and exercise program. Last night as he was upstairs working out it sounded like the ceiling was going to crash down on me. But, at least he's doing it! He is still trying to sell me on joining him but I have no desire to work out the hour before I go to bed. I prefer mornings...when I actually get up...which brings me to this morning. I actually did get up and go running. Not too long or hard but I got up! Made such a difference in my morning. The kids seem more pleasant I was ready to go earlier. I actually had time to make beds and tidy up upstairs. Now everyone is enjoying breakfast. I don't know if they had a good sleep as well but perhaps it has just been me waking up grumpy that makes the whole day seem bad.

California!
I need to write about our incredible vacation. Scott and I were able to go to Oceanside for 3 days with no kids. Never happened before. We got there late Thursday night. It was so weird to not worry about driving with kids in the car and having to get there before bedtime. It didn't matter! So, I don't have too much to say about it because we really had a weekend full of doing NOTHING! It was fabulous. What a joy to wake up not because of kids. I think that was what I was looking forward to the most. Also worth mentioning is the fact that I didn't cook all weekend! We ate out and went to a farmers market. I think the market was my favorite part! We got fresh fruits and veggies and some yummy bread. We stopped at a grocery store on the way home, picked up some meat and made sandwiches and salad for lunch. I think it was the best sandwich I've ever had. The salad actually had flavor! The carrots still had dirt on them when we picked them up. The strawberries were so good we stopped later and got a whole flat so I could make some jelly. Just incredible.
We did eat out at a very nice fish place. I had to make sure it was nice because I'm not a huge fish fan and if I'm going to eat it I want it to be good. Oh, my, was it ever! I had this macadamia nut crusted halibut. And the BBQ'd artichoke appetizer was perfect too. We wandered around, went shopping, saw two movies, had breakfast at a local diner, sat on the beach (it was too cold for swimming...at least for me), rode bikes around like tourists, ate coldstone ice cream and watched movies in bed. It was a perfect weekend.
I guess even better than the farmers market was that Scott and I never did anything apart. We were within eyesight of each other all weekend. He is so sweet and wonderful and getting to spend some time with him is heaven.

My Jenna
I have to admit that Jenna is quite the handful...somedays I can't keep ahead of her...actually that is most days. But then I found her like this one afternoon. I had to remember the moment. I'm thinking of making a shirt for her to wear so I don't forget how adorable she is when she's asleep...a total angel!
