Mariners Win!

Dad and I could not decide what we were going to do since we both had 4 day off. Friday morning dad booked us a hotel and bought tickets for the game and by noon we were off! The weather was terrible and we went through l rain, wind and hail to get there. It was so loud because it was coming down so hard and so fast. It was crazy. A few miles further down the road it would be dry, then tracheal rain and hail. By the time we got to Tacoma we tuned in to the Mariners station and they were saying what a great day for a ball game. Really? By the time we hit the spot where you can see Seattle while on I5 it was beautiful. Big white puffy clouds sun shinning and no rain. We checked in to the hotel, got our long johns on because we knew it would get cold, and walked to the stadium. We had dinner, $6.00 hotdogs and $4.00 drinks. In this picture we are wearing the Elvis sunglasses. It was Viva Las Vargas Night. The first 10,000 people got sunglasses! They opened the roof and we were a little nervous. We had nothing to worry about. It was a beautiful night and we were in the best seats, and had a great time. + the Mariners won. It was so fun! As we were walking back to the hotel with 33 thousand of our closest friends we saw a bunch of Utes with Yankees hats on! Go Cougars and Mariners! It was probably the closest game for them and they were staying in the same hotel. There was one or two BYU fans in the cluster and we saw them at Pike place market too.

Any way, we called Grandma and Grandpa and asked if they wanted to go to the game on Saturday and they didn't so we went up and had lunch with them and they headed home. We just relaxed on Sunday and went to church. Today Happy Memorial day to everyone. We remember all those who have touched our lives in the past and have served our country. My dad, Jim's dad, my sister TK, the twins and Ryan. We are truly grateful for your service so that we can have the freedoms that we have today.

On a side note every time I put up a picture it is in the wrong spot. Sorry about that. Later, MOM

Mothers' Day

Although Mother's day is not my favorite day I had a pretty nice day. I was able to talk with all my kids, did not have to cook dinner or do dishes, (Jim did it) got a new CD, was sung to by a men's choir and was able to take a nap. Plus I loved my mother's day cards and gifts. Thank you everyone.

Sad Day

Today was a sad day in my classroom and it started before the kids even got to school. We had what you would call a quick stand up meeting in my classroom. It only lasted for maybe 5 minutes. My principal that I have worked with for 5 years is being transferred. We will get a new principal from one of the schools that is being closed. I really like Cam, he has been very supportive of me and Kindergarten in general, and he helped with the student council that I was in charge of. He is a good leader, professional and fun. I for one, (not the only one in my school) will miss him.

Easter and the following weekend!

We had such a nice Easter weekend. Saturday was such a beautiful day weather wise. We had a wonderful Easter dinner with ham, cheese potatoes, and salmon that dad was able to get. Yummy. I also made a sheet cake which I have not in such a long time. We had that Saturday night, Sunday morning.... and the rest of that day. I made rolls and cinnamon rolls for our special occasion. The table was also decorated and looked very nice. We were able to go to Saturday Market and had a good time, when we got home Grandma and Grandpa Squire were home to greet us. We had our dyed our eggs and got to watch Ivy put them in her basket. She was a pro. We played cards, and taught the Great grand parents how to play cover your assets. It was a lot of fun.

Sunday the weather was blah just like the weather man said. Glad we hunted for eggs on Saturday. Unfortunately Great Grandma Dorene was not feeling well. A bit of vertigo. Not fun. She still beat me at cards! We had family pictures taken but she was not in them. Sorry Grandma. We should of taken pictures after dinner. I was not thinking of that. On Monday everybody had to leave, and Jim and I went to work.

This weekend we worked in the yard. The weather was so nice. The windows are all clean inside and out, the burn pile is done, the lawn is mowed and some of the weeds are pulled. I am going to try to do a little bit of weed pulling every day. It takes forever with such a big yard. We cleaned out the garage this week too (my side). It feels so much better. And I have actually gotten almost all caught up on my ironing.

And along with Shannon's thoughts about the Royal wedding, I had Jim tape it so I could watch it. I love it. She was a beautiful bride and looks very confident and happy! I wish them the best. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
