As my daughters remind me, " Mom, you need to post!" The months of May and June have been extremely busy at work trying to finish up reports for the state and tie up loose ends for the school year. Laurel, the office secretary is moving to Seattle this summer so I have been training a new secretary. I've had fun making some purses these last couple of months for mothers day and some gifts. Here is the one I made for Laurel. The month of July continued to be busy with scheduling for grades K-8. July 10th was my last working day until August 4th when we will all hit the ground running getting ready for teacher training and school starting on the 20th. Our project for this summer has been to update the downstairs bathroom. WHEW! I think I would rather work fulltime. Pictures to follow as the tile will not get laid until we get back from Bass Lake. I'm also painting the small upstairs bathroom and hall going into the laundry room. I'll be ready for a week of vacationing by the lake, reading and enjoying family. (sorry, I'm still new at this and don't know how to rotate the picture. I'll have to wait for Amber to visit and help me!!)

Josie turns 2

Josie turned 2 the end of May. Fortunately, it fell on Memorial day weekend so we were able to drive out to Dutch John and celebrate! Amber made her a Nemo cake (I think nemo was one of her first words). It was a little on the cool side so we played inside with some new toys. Jay helped Ron (Ryan's dad) work in the basement and did some odd jobs outside. It was a bonus to see Lisa and Bradley as they are both working out there this summer. We always enjoy our visits as it is quiet and relaxing up in the mountains.

Conference weekend we enjoyed a wonderful BBQ at the Hong's condo in Provo. It was so fun to visit and see friends again.
