Time Flys When You're Having....

FUN!! The last month has been incredibly busy, but full of 'good busy' if you will.  Amongst summer classes and work, Jake & I have found time to play...which is most important! I have loaded a ton of pics so I will try to keep the comments brief!

For the 4th, we road tripped up to Bear Lake with his brother Jordan and his girlfriend Loraca.  It was seriously such a blast!  Her family was up there and we hung out with them; Jake and I felt like members of the fam, we had so much fun!  They had this tramp of the deck and the boys played "crack the egg." If you know Jordan and Jake very well, this image of them dueling is just another day in the life of the brothers...

The highlight of our day (at least for me) was the Waverunner we rented for 4 hours.  OH MY those things are awesome!!!! That is one thing I have no fear on (when I am driving).  I had Jake screaming here and there, jumping wakes and stuff!!
I couldn't wait to get out there..

Sadly, my 1st year of teaching is over.  'Tis bittersweet I must say.  The last day of school was so fun though.  For my AM class, the weather was hot and sunny so we played outside, ate popsicles and played with water balloons.  Come PM, it was HAILING and so dark/stormy outside! We had to get creative and play charades...and we did the TOOTY-TA.  If you do not know what the Tooty-Ta is, I highly suggest it.  It is a goofy song that tells you to do funny positions with your body while dancing and singing.  The Tooty-Ta is by far a Kindergartner's favorite song/dance.  
Honestly, I do the Tooty-Ta for partial selfish reasons.  Just think: 

Kindergartners' lack of good balance and muscle control + difficult positions + eyes closed= HILARIOUSLY fun times (and good pics)!!
Bah-hahhaa look at those boys!!! I love them!!
I can't even tell you how much fun these kids are.  I seriously hope I never forget them.
Below is my AM class. What's crazy is that I had 39-41 kids (AM and PM combined) throughout the year, and each one is SOOO unique and has a their own story and background.

A few weeks before the last day of school, we hit the road and Field Tripped it to Wheeler Farm..
It was rainy and muddy, but hey who cares when you're 6 and it's your first field trip!?  The little chicky above in the PONCHO (hahaha) is the one who gives "Ghost Bodies" to people. And her best friend is next to her...the one who "wasn't so sure she liked her 'Ghost Body.'  But dude, get a load of Poncho girl...This picture slightly displays her creativity and fun personality. Who gives a peace sign in pictures these days!!? 

These baby pigs were so cute, I think one of the favorites among my kids. Perhaps they could relate to the babies?
Sleigh ride around the farm.
I shared my seat on the bus with these two crazies! (above)

Tyson's wedding: (sorry that pic is sideways...I can't fix it!)

Tyson got married to a way cool girl, Abby, on July 9th. Jake and I attended their sealing at the Draper Temple, which was AMAZING!  Tyson's waterworks could have watered a small garden! It was sweet!

Our friend Travis was 'graciously' waiting for us OUTSIDE the temple as we all walked out...Turns out you have to keep your temple recommend from expiring; they won't let you in even 9 days past the expiration date... go figure :-)... Even if you ARE a close friend! Poor Trav....Anyways I had the best picture of Abby's expression when Travis was telling her about how he couldn't go in but some random guy blocked most of the pic...so this one above will have to suffice! You can tell Travis and Tyson are laughing about his little mishap.
A while ago..maybe Memorial Day?...Jake and I went for a walk around Silver Lake and came upon 2 moose! We were daring enough to get this close.  But no closer. 

It's been a great summer so far, and I wish I had more pics of other fun things we've done!  Now it's off to girl's camp for me!!
