It was Michael's 8th birthday on June 15, which was also Father's Day. We will keep you posted for when Michael's baptism takes place. We had Branch Conference today, and next week we are leaving for Disney for a week. Plus, there are five more days of school. I know, I know, most of you are thinking "Well, come on, you should be done with school already!" and I agree, as well as do most of the children. They are definitely done with "school, books, and teachers' dirty looks!"

The end is near...

I believe that being a teacher is the only career where there is a yearly end and beginning. We are now reaching the end of a very busy year. I don't know why it has been so busy - maybe it's because Nicholas and Michael are getting older and more involved in activities.

It is getting late tonight (10:19) right now, and tomorrow I will complete this post. For now, here are a few pictures of what has been happening in the past two weeks:



Nicholas received the last of his Webelos pins before officially leaving Cub Scouts.

Nicholas is standing in front of his artwork from his school's Challenge Center program. All year long they studied freshwater and saltwater sea creatures.



Michael at his 2nd grade picnic getting ready to run a relay race.


Michael in the ball pit at his class picnic. The principal's husband opens up his Day Camp and brings all of the children to spend the day there. It is a lot of fun!



This is a video of Michael playing a game called "Gaga". It's kind of like dodgeball.
