Let the summer begin...

Today I officially finished my last day of school.  I am filled with many different emotions.  Shocked that the year is over, sad that I had to say goodbye to some cute 6 year olds, excited for what this summer will bring, exhausted from going non-stop for 180 days, and blessed to have finished my first year of teaching.  I had an incredible year and pray that God will show me where I am suppose to be next year. :)

The Mix/Vancil Wedding

This weekend was a weekend full of wedding!  My best friend Leslie got married to her college sweetheart!  I was blessed to be the Matron of Honor in her wedding.  We started with sky diving on Saturday (not me), bachelorette party Saturday night, rehearsal on Sunday, and Monday was the big event.  The wedding was so "Leslie and Kurt" and such a fun celebration!

Bachelorette party.... whoo hoo!

My husband is crazy!!

This weekend, my husband along with three other close friends chose to go sky diving.  My friend Leslie who got married on Monday wanted to do it as a pre-funk for her wedding, and Aaron decided to join.  Although I was quite nervous and refused to do it myself, he loved it and had an incredible time doing it! :)  Way to go babe!

 Thank the Lord he made a safe landing!

Jesus Loves Me

Throughout the weekend we sang "Jesus Loves Me" quite a few times.  At one point Dylan said "I can't get this song out of my head".  I guess it's a good song to have stuck in your head, right? :)  Enjoy our little precious Seth singing "Jesus Loves Me".

A Little Nephew Time

This past weekend I had the joy of spending some time with my two adorable nephews and my brother Ryan!!  It's hard living so far away, but such a blessing when I get to spend time with them.  They have grown so much since the last time I saw them.  Seth is saying so many words and is full of energy.  Dylan is becoming such a stellar student and still enjoys snuggling.  It was so fun watching and listening to Seth and all of his big words that he is saying.  He is finally talking and its so fun to listen to what he has to say.   A few cute things he says are "Bon" for Aunt Bonnie, "not nice", "me go airplane too", "me tired", and "banjo" for Grandma Jo.

It made my day!!!

In my afternoon Kindergarten class I have 6 students who speak Marshallese. They are from the Marshall Islands and are as cute as can be.  Last week they all began singing in their language, and although it was loud and distracting, it was too cute to ask then to stop.  During center time I called them over and asked them to sing for me while I recorded it, and they thought it was the greatest thing. :)  These are the moments that I am reminded why I am a teacher! :)  Enjoy!

   

Happy Mother's Day

Aaron and I drove to e burg last weekend to celebrate Mother's day with my mom.  We had a great weekend of golfing, relaxing, and a wonderful brunch at Suncadia.  I am so blessed to have an incredible mom!!  We had Aaron's mom on our thoughts as we were away from her on Mother's day.  She is incredible as well, and it is so difficult being away from her during this tough time in her life.  We love our mommas!
