Salt Lake City Trip






We had a great time visiting with all the family in SLC! We were able to do a lot of fun things, actually John and the kids were able to do a lot of fun things while I was laying in bed with the stomach flu. John, Daesha, Jerrick, Shandra, and grandma went to the coppermine( I forget the name) and they brought back some copper souvenirs . They all went to Lagoon on Friday and of course they had a great time. The kids took advantage of the fact that I wasn't there and went on some rides that I wouldn't have let them go on, but John thought they were fine on the rides. I almost had a heart attck when Shan told me some of the rides she went on, but they came home safe and healthy!

Last Day of School! Yeah!!!

+ Last day at the bus stop!
Jerrick is very happy to get his picture taken with his teachers
Shandra and Mrs. Hardy

So it finally arrived. The much anticipated last day!!! Today Shan had a cute little kindergarten program to show what the kids learned throughout the year. The kids sang so good and were so cute! I can't believe how fast this year has gone. After the program we went back to the classroom and got report cards and a final picture with Mrs. Hardy. Then we went to Jerrick's class and his class gave me a big card and some very cute jewelry for helping out throuout the year. Then they had an award ceremony where Jerrick got awards for best citizenship, most improved reader, math facts to 11, and AB Honor roll. I thought it was cute, but the kids were just interested in the treats that they got with the awards. After we went to Daesha's class and her class gave me some bath stuff for being the room mom and Daesha got her straight A honor roll certificate and her report card, then we came home and the joy of summer break started! Jerrick, Mitchell , and Garrett were fighting with Daesha, Sierra, and Shandra until I told them all that I was going to send them back for summer school. I had to go back to the school for a volunteer luncheon and I got a gift certificate to Sugars, a first aid kit, a new planner from the outgoing pta, and from the school staff I got a gift card for the movies and some popcorn and candy. I got lots of stuff just for being a volunteer

Water Day

Here are a few pictures of the kids at water day. Jerrick and Shandra had their water day in the morning so the water was very cool and refreshing. Shan was actually freezing and I was very hot! Daesha had hers in the afternoon and she said the water was warm so she didn't get cold. They all had a blast and plenty of treats so it was a great day! Jerrick wonders why school can't be this fun every day!
