My Yodagarumi

I have been a knitting crazy woman lately and have been finishing projects left and right. I happened on this pattern on ravelry and decided to make him. I really enjoy how he turned out!

My Lazy Dog

Buck likes to hang out with Rob and John Michael on Friday nights when they stay up and play video games. Rob said he had been on the floor when all of sudden he heard Buck snoring. He looked over to my chair to find him not only snoring but very cozy on my pillow. He was able to snap these three pictures before the dog woke up.

Party Time!!!!!!!!!

We had Rachels Birthday Party today at the bowling alley! She had such a great time! She loved bowling and having fun. The kids got bored waiting for each other between turns, so they started spinning on their bums on the floor while waiting. It was too cute. We got her her own MP3 player in pink of course and she has been playing with it since we got home! So cute!!!!!!

Rachels 6th Birthday!

So we started a day early but she had a great day! We told her for her 6th birthday that she could get her ears pierced. She was so excited and even more when she found out she could get pink earrings(her birthstone). She was excited to sit in the seat and did really well until they were done and yes they did both at the same time. It was so cute to see her so excited!

A beautiful day in the mountains!

Last Sunday we decided to head up into the canyon to have a picnic lunch and enjoy the view. It was so nice and pretty and we enjoyed the whole afternoon just relaxing and enjoying!!!!

John Michaels Parent Picnic

John Micahel had his class picnic on Thursday. They laid out blankets on the floor in the classroom beacause of the wonderful Utah weather. We sat and had lunch and then made food crafts with the kids. Jm made me flowers our of Ritz crackers, almond slivers, cream cheese, celery sticks, and cucumbers. It was very yummy!

Parents Day

Rachels Class had parents day today. We got to come in as parents and watch what the kids do in a day in class. She built a home for her elephant, and made a mask, she cooked me some food and of course built with Lego. They had a relay race to play with the parents and then presented gifts to the parents they had made. She was so proud of painting her candy dish for mom and dad!

Day 30

Why did you do this 30 day challenge?

I did it cuz I thought it would be fun to try and truly complete it in 30 days! As you can see that did not happen but sometimes life gets in the way of your best intentions!




If you have been reading my blog or read this please keep the Bordine family in your prayers!

I am praying that God hold her sweet momma in his arms and remind her that it is ok. Arianna is blessing the angels with her wonderful charm and amazing personality!

Too Young!

Found out today that one of my former students passed away yesterday. She was only 5 but was a force of life to be sure. She was an amazing child and gone way too young! I am sending prayers out tonight to her momma and family! May God bless the dearly for their child blessed my life so much!
