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!

A fun surprise!

Last week I got to visit Aaron's class of 5th graders.  They loved meeting the "Bonnie" that they had heard so much about.  It was so fun watching Aaron teach, and man is he a great teacher! :)  We are so blessed that he got a teaching contract in the same position for next year. 

Just Because...

After a long day of teaching and class until 5:30, this is what I came home to! :)  My husband is so sweet!

Decorating Day!

After 9.5 months of living in our apartment and struggling with how to decorate, we finally did work!! :)  My parents came here for the weekend and while dad was at pharmacy meetings, mom, Aaron, and I went to Bed Bath and Beyond and spent way too much money.  Then, Aaron and I had planned to take a personal day off work today, which led to more money spending and more decorating.  Our main goal was to get more decorations in our spare bedroom and living room and here are a few of the things that we came up with! :)

Showering the bride-to-be!

       This weekend I had the honor of hosting a bridal shower for one of my best friends and maid of honor Leslie.  :)  It was a fun day of celebrating her before she becomes Mrs. Vancil.  My four college roommates were all able to come to Spokane for it, so it was a fun weekend with the girls.

Not only was it a weekend to celebrate Leslie, but we found out that Kelly (in black) got engaged 2 days prior. So, its official... all four of us girls are either married or engaged. WOW! :)  Lots to celebrate among us!  Can't wait for Kurt and Leslie's wedding in approximately one month.

       The engaged/married roommates!

Kels.... this one's for you!!

My dear friend/college roommate Kelsey is one of my daily blog checkers.  Now, I haven't been as diligent in updating my blog very often and I seem to get lots of fits from Kels.  So, this one is for you Kels!!  You are amazing, encouraging ,  a faithful woman of prayer, and an outstanding friend.  Today while chatting with Kels on facebook, after telling me I needed to update my blog, she said, "Bon, it's like hearing your voice when you write blogs".  So, I guess she misses me a lot, and I miss her too. Thanks for reading this random blog post, but I know my daily blog checker will think she is pretty darn special when she reads this.... and she is!!! :) I love ya Kels!
