Memorial Day

Today we went up to the cemetery. We picked all of iris we could find.

Sorry that the pictures are turned. I can't figure out how to get them straight. Someone put a cute little potted marigold on Ben's grave.

It's been raining so much this year that everything is very green, and very pretty.

Memorial weekend has been very nice here in emery county. The cemetery was full of flowers and families.

Water Wars

Today at the middle school we had water games. If the kids read three books each quarter and passed their accelerated reader tests they were able to attend. They had chalk drawing...And water sports.... This is a picture of Melissa and James. I work with these two every afternoon.
Along with my cute little friend Jacob.
The janitors turned on all of the sprinklers and I've never seen kids have more fun at school.

It was one very fun and exciting day, and I was exhausted by the time I got home.

Sorry about all of these pictures. I wish they would have turned out a little bit clearer but I still haven't found the battery charger for my camera so I am forced to use my phone.

This is the Honduran frame that Whitney gave me. It symbolizes Whitney looking at all of us from far away. She is the girl on the left ;)

This is the new and improved living room. I think Sara's quilt looks perfect!

All of the Nativity sets and the "JOY" blocks.

GO COUGS!

It's gonna be a huge game in the Mountain this week and I am so excited! I really hope to see BYU win it like last year, but I won't be as disappointed because it will be fun to see a Utah team go undefeated. Best of luck to both.
I'm thinking the final score will be 21 BYU - 17 Utah
