Update

This summer is flying by. With scheduling rearrangements I haven't had my kids for 2 weeks and it feels like forever, it went by fast though so that's good. I only have 3 more weeks before I go back to work so I'm going to try to fit in some summer festivities with my kids. The summer goes way too fast. For the 4th John and I crashed my cousin's BBQ we didn't stay for the fireworks so we could get back to Hutch and also because I had to get up at 3:00 in the morning to go to the airport. I went to Florida for the FCCLA National Conference. I'm trying to figure out FCCLA more. It's a part of my job that I don't like worrying about. It's a lot of extra work and stress but I'm trying my best to wrap my brain around it so I don't hate it for the next 20 years. It was nice to go somewhere and have little vacation time along with work. I went to SeaWorld by myself just to practice doing things alone. It was not great but I was glad I did it. A work colleague was at the same hotel as me and it was nice to have someone to go to dinner with and hang a bit with. We went to some outlet malls one night and that was fun to check out. We tried a few local restaurants and I had some really good fish tacos. It was nice to have chill pool time and it was great to have my own hotel room.

Cute buddy.

I'm trying to get better at standing up on the paddle board. I was pregnant last summer so I couldn't do that.

My paddle boarding buddy Shelly.

John, Hutch, and I went paddle boarding.

My trees are growing nicely. I'm glad I haven't killed them!

Heidi trying to nap with our very long delays. We were supposed to get into Boise at 5:40 pm on the 10th and got it at 1:30 am on the 11th. Not a fav!

Out to dinner.

The sky was so pretty at the outlet malls.

The one ride I was able to go on only once. It was fun though.

My room buddies for the Early Childhood Competition. It was helpful to be involved in that. I will be creating an assignment in my classroom around it.

4th of July.

Cute buddy.
