Spring Break

 We got Kyler groomed and they put this cute St. Patricks day hankerchief on him!


This last week was spring break and the kids had a few days of fun, we went to the lake one day and to an Extreme Gravity place one day, the rest of the days were just spent at home reading, resting and watching T.V.

























I really wanted to get one project done this week, and that was to paint my front door. Don't tell the HOA, because I didn't get it approved and it's definitely not an HOA-approved color! haha! But, I justified that it's ok because you can't see it through our security door. 

I think it's a fun, refreshing color!

There was a Face to Face event on Wednesday night and they talked about 3 things that they could do to put their trust in the Lord, so Jacob posted this on Instagram...

If Abby could spend all day on these swings in our front yard, she would!




We had a zoom birthday party for Rick's mom because she turned 70!








It was a great, refreshing week. We are ready to go back to school and work. I'm starting my Special education rotation, and i'm excited for all that I will learn.

Week in Review...

 Ashlyn captured the beautiful sunset at her winter guard practice...




Ashlyn did amazing at her winter guard competition on Saturday, it was beautiful!






We had to pick up Ashlyn from Tempe where she was at a music festival, and we had to wait awhile. So Abby got creative and started playing on the roof of the car, ha!

I had my last day in 4th grade this last week, it was an amazing experience. It was extremely stressful and hard, but I came to love the kids and of course my mentor teacher was amazing. On my last day they each drew me a card and went around the room and told me what they loved about me. I was bawling, it was the sweetest thing they could've ever done! My teacher even bought me books for my future class, it was an emotional day for sure! Now, I'm off to spend 8 weeks in a Special education classroom, wish me luck!

Abby had a class presentation, they studied how people live all around the world. Abby's presentation was on maps and globes, it was super cute!





We also had track and field day last week, which was really fun! Here's my 4th grade class!



I'm grateful for my experience in the classroom, I had a lot of learning moments and luckily the kids were very forgiving of all of my mistakes. I'll miss them!
