Spring Break!

It was a great and much needed break!

The Highlights
1.     Talking to my sis on skype as soon as school let out
2.     Talking to my mom and dad on skype on Monday
3.     Of course, meeting the “cure for cancer” man
4.     Watching 80’s movies with the SMs
5.     Girl talk and lice hunt night ‘til 2:30 A.M.
6.     Finding handmade Marshallese presents for family and friends
7.     Making snowballs of sand with the cool kids at Beach Park
8.     “Christmas in April” with the SMs
9.     Emily’s birthday on Easter Sunday
10. Having Absolutely No Agenda!

Here are a few pictures to sum it up.


Sabbath Morning

The Sixth Graders singing "Enough" for the Spring Concert. They look pretty excited, huh? Now I know why the music teachers always say, "Look at me! Smile!"

Wednesday before break I gave the kids a creative writing assignment. The prompt: "Tell me a story about how you mean your future husband or wife." Before I was done writing this on the board they were all complaining, "Missahh!! Gross!! That's not good." Haha! I had fun watching the little romantics write and share their "love stories."

The barge came!

Beach Park with Emily

Puppy loves the beach, too.

Puppy looking like a weird guard dog. She's not at all.

Look who beat us to the beach.

Our new Beach Park friends were excited to see him, too.



Picking up sand to throw at Winnie as he floated away.


Christmas in April!

It really felt like Christmas!

All the presents: One little present for everyone and we drew names for a big (homemade) present.

Blake made us all blueberry muffins.


Lonnie made Lance a stuffed monster.

Emily got Blake one of the employee t-shirts from D.I.Y.

Blake got Lonnie handmade earrings

I got Emily ketchup (her fav) . . . 

and I made her a bracelet

Daniel made me a picture book on Blurb with pictures from Ebeye!


Lance made Daniel a cool Island box--so detailed!

We made cookies of each other. I made Emily (left) and she made me (right) :/

Puppy slept through the whole thing like a cutie.
Justin and I at Shell Island

I think I was talking. Boo.

Perfect day


While we were at Shell, Lonnie and Daniel decorated the whole apartment for Emily's birthday!

Surprise!
