After the storm....

After we had quite the storm look what it let behind! We have been going crazy indoors for the last two days with all the rain. I guess our patience has paid off by sending this beautiful rainbow! I just love how something so simple can put a smile on your face :0) I love the outdoors and would prefer to spend most of my time there. I enjoy to sitting on the porch listening to the birds sing, kids playing, and all of the surrounding noises.

I wish we had somewhere to plant a garden. It would be fun to take on a new challenge and see what became of it. I love fresh cherry tomatoes, peas, and carrots. This year I will stick to my flower pots and call it good.

What are some of the things you like about the outdoors?

Pre-School Graduation!!

I can't believe how fast this past year has went. I was so emotional the first day I took Emilee to her class. I went to walk her to the door and she was like "mom I can go myself." She thinks she is so grown up already and wants to do everything herself. It is so exciting to see her progression, but I don't want her to grow up.

Kaitlyn was so sad that her sister was going to school without her.


Emilee was so nervous the first day thinking I would forget to come get her. She loves to spell her first and last name on everything. I am so amazed on how much she has learned and her excitement about school. It is so funny how everything is "well Mrs. Ottley said." and so that is how everything needs to be. Here is a picture of her first day and graduation. GOOD JOB Emilee!!!


Her new thing is every time you pass the American flag you need to put your right hand on your heart and say the pledge of allegiance. We went to temple square last weekend and man we must have recited it about 10 times.
