End of School

Today was the last day of school. I worked with Mrs. Varner this year and she is from Hawaii. We also had two girls in our class that have parents from Hawaii. To celebrate the last day of school we had a luau. It was great. The food was awesome! They made this pineapple with a seasoning on it- it was sooo good! The kids learned how to hula..and they made some grass skirts to wear. They all looked so cute. The Mom in charge bought Mrs. Varner and I a lei..it was beautiful. It was a great school year. Some of the kids I will definitely miss..others not so much! Mrs. Varner is moving to 6th grade next year..I will be with a new teacher. I am sure she will be great too. The kids made these cute paper bouquets of flowers..and a very nice card to go with it. They all had to give us hugs as they were leaving.



For the summer I am going to work with SL county Recreation in Sandy doing their summer program called Super Seekers. I think it will be lots of fun! Tons of great field trips & places to visit this summer.

Sick of problems!

WE were suppose to get some sod for our backyard this weekend..now it might not happen. Jared called this local landscape company and they told him what sod farm to go to..and to tell them they were getting sod from this landscape company for our yard,and then we would put it in ourselves- that was last week. Well today the sod farm calls Jared and tells him that since it isn't for this landscaping company we don't get the good price, they were going to up the price on us.For some reason after the landscaper talked to Jared and told him to call this place with his name the sod farm called the landscaper and the landscaper didn't back us up..it makes no sense! Jared told them he just wants his money back and we will go somewhere else and give them the money. I am getting tired of these stinkin companies that are just in to make a profit! I know they have to stay in business somehow but it isn't like they weren't getting money for the sod in the first place. The landscaper shouldn't have told us anything if he wasn't willing to help out in the end! On another note..our builder has filed for bankruptcy..doesn't really surprise me, he is a piece of work! SO now we have all of these unfinished things we have to do like finish the front fence (which we were told they would do in 4 weeks...which was months ago) fix the paint patches they left on our house, get our front walk fixed...so we have to file a claim and submit to the courts to try and get some money from the builder....Oh the fun of being a homeowner! Jared says we will never build a new house again, I think I agree.

This week was Teacher Appreciation week at my school. The kids in my class are so cute. They loved bringing us gifts. I got so many things from the great kids in my class....flowers to plant in my yard, gift cards to the movies, lotion, bath stuff, candy, chocolate dipped strawberries, a free smoothie, math flash cards, and more...they were all so great! Last night we used one of those movie gift cards and went to see a much anticipated movie...it was AWESOME!! That was one movie worth going to see.
We are going to a BBQ tonight up at my Mom's house..should be fun!

Race

Jared & Jeff (my brother) went out to the Miller Motor Sports Park today to the LeMans series races. They have gone for the past 3 years and they have a great time! I am glad I have a brother that loves stuff like that as much as my husband so he has someone to go with that would enjoy it- I did go the first year and it was really hot! They said it was really hot out there today but they had a great time watching the race and checking out the cars.

Lunch & a Movie

We went to lunch today with Jeff & Becca. We met up at the Gateway downtown and went to eat at Costa Aveda..the food was pretty good. After that we went and saw What Happens in Vegas. This movie was really funny! It was a fun day out. Jeff is going to spend the night out here tonight because tomorrow Jared & Jeff are going to the races at Miller Motor Sports Park, so tonight we will play Mario Kart on the Wii...should be fun!
