Lunch with Carol!

I had lunch today with some great ladies.  Carol was my primary teacher when I was a Merry Miss (age 10-11).  She moved to Virginia soon after that but every time they came to Utah to visit she would invite the girls in our class, and pretty much anyone who wanted to come, to her parents house to spend a few days playing in the pool, watching movies and having a ton of fun.  My memories of those trips unfortunately always revolve around my terrible sunburns.  I still have freckles on my shoulders as a reminder that I need to wear SPF 2000 sun block whenever I am in the sun!  The last time I saw Carol was when I was 17, which is just a FEW years ago.  :)

 I am so glad that I have the friends that I do.  Thanks guys!

This is our first trip with Carol, we visited Wheeler Farm.  1982

1984 (I am the one at the top...burned and not going to get into the pool again after this photo is taken!)

1987 (Don't I look sexy with my socks on!  No wonder I never had a date in highschool!)

We are all squished into an inner tube!

Wii Party

We love hanging out with our good friends in our ward.  We usually just get together and eat and watch a movie.  We decided it would be fun to have a Wii game night and stay up late playing video games.  (Although some of us just visited and folded paper cranes!)  Thanks for the fun evening!

Clark Planetarium

I love my job at the school because I get to see Bri interact with her friends and I am there any time there is something going on. I also love volunteering and going on field trips. I got to go with her to the planetarium. It was very informative and fun. We rode down on the FrontRunner train. I was in charge of five students and they were all so well behaved and made sure they were close the entire day.

We took an earlier train than we were planning when we came home so we had to wait about 30 minutes for the bus to arrive and take us back to school. Bri had fun hanging out with her friends. What a beautiful daughter I have...no wonder all the boys are gathered around her!

Viva Las Vegas

We enjoyed our spring break in Las Vegas.  It was also a celebration of Bri's 12th Birthday.  I can't believe that she is getting so big.  We had a lot of fun, so here are some shots from our trip.

We spent some time at the temple.
