Kickball!

Here is a picture of my kickball team.  We won again last night and are now 4-1.  Yeah, I am totally into this, feeling (and looking) like I am 10 again!!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy Mother's Day to all of our favorite moms!

Leo and Henry brought me a lovely necklace and earrings this morning and Leo even got to snuggle on the couch. (Randy has NEVER allowed this to happen so he documented the occasion- see picture above..) Leo was quite the snuggle buddy and enjoyed every second on the couch!!

Yesterday we took Leo down to Waterfront Park for Doggie Dash. He was very nervous around all of the people and dogs UNTIL he saw my parents and their dogs, at which point he went completely crazy and bolted across the park, out of his leash to see them!!! Praise the Lord that my mom is quick and grabbed him as he was off leash (and collar..). He knows who his family and dog friends are! Above is a soapy picture from his bath Friday. He had to clean up so that he could look his best around all of the other dogs:).

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!!!

I think that teacher appreciation week is near the end of the school year for a very important reason...to remind us of why we love what we do. These last few weeks have been especially rough ones and with the summer countdown on, it has been REALLY hard to stay fresh and energetic. So happy teacher week to all of our friends and family who share the gift of teaching!

The beautiful flowers were from my wonderful assistant this morning. Without her I would have lost my sanity long before now! (Did anyone know that I earned the prestigious Mill Park Elementary "Am I gray yet?" paper plate award last year at our staff luncheon??) 

Last Sunday was beautiful so we took the opportunity to take Leo for a walk down on the Columbia River. Oh, I can't wait until summer! When we got home it was still warm enough to give Leo a bath outside. Here he is running around the living room with his towel on.
