Other stuff

 Ellie has been applying to continue her classes at TTECH to finish her diesel program.

Look at this pretty butterfly I        found in the yard one morning!

We watched our friend Jericho and Ayna for a day, while their mom helped with Field Day. My dear friend Kathleen came and helped.

We sold the drum set (child not included)

I went to see the Orem ladies, and Heather made me GF cinnamon sticks!! They were nummy.

I got a Stanley for Mother's Day. Now I am an official suburban mom!

Look at all the cherries on my tree!!

END of CARPOOL

Yes, after THIRTEEN years of driving to Excelsior Academy in Erda, Utah, Michael and I made our last drive on Tuesday. As you can see, I took great pleasure in burning the carpool number, in the carpool line.

CRY FREEDOM!! (seriously, like an hour extra every day).

Also Mike graduated from 8th grade. Here he is with the girl he likes, Mya.

 

Graduations!

 Elizabeth Julia Herron graduated  from both seminary and high school last week. Yah!!

She was not too into a party or anything, so we just had a nice dinner at home.

And Mrs Gayle Dye (her kindergarden teacher) came to congratulate her!! From California. We certainly love you Mrs. Dye!

Dancing, tulips, etc

 As per tradition, Cousin Kristen and I went to see the Tulip Festival this year! We had a delightful lunch on the terrace and enjoyed the beautiful grounds. Such a wonderful time.

Ellie was in her final dance concert. She loves dancing so much!

Ashley and I donated blood again, at the high school this time. She threw up. I drank juice.
