Janet is the PTA president at our school and one of my dearest friends! I have taught both of her cute kids in 1st grade! She nominated me one month for Best Teacher on the Planet. This is an award through one of the local radio stations. They give this award out once a week. The radio station come to my classroom in February and gave me the award and lots of prizes! These pictures are from the banquet they did at the end of the year for all the teachers who received the award.
These are some fun pictures of the girls out on the town~ Athena, Courtney, Jenn, and Reese. Just out having fun! :)
I love having little breaks from reality! :) Lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun, and hanging out on the lazy river was wonderful. We went to Las Vegas for a few days but mostly just to relax :). The food was great and we our shopping consisted of the Bass Proshop (where I got my new swimsuit and saw the cool aquarium). Courtney and Cami joined me for the fun and the red rock pics are from our adventures when we got home last week. We did batting cages, went hot tubbing, and played Frisbee. It was such a great time with the friends!

Wow how time flies! For some reason I tend to reflect once another birthday has come around. I can't believe how time really does go by so fast! Another school year is almost over. This summer it will be 10 years since I graduated high school. I can't believe how many things I have been able to accomplish since then. I have my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, my Master's Degree in Administration, and I am completing my Early Childhood Endorsement (of 30 credits) right now. I taught 5 years of first grade and 1 year of kindergarten. This reflecting helps me appreciate the help from above to be able to do everything that I have in the past 10 years. I am also grateful for all the amazing people in my life-- I am so blessed with amazing family and friends! I love you all! 10 years ago I went on an amazing trip to Europe, and this summer I get to do it again! I am so so so excited! ;)
The Hansen's are family! So here are pictures of cute Aiden and his cute birthday cake. Jayson and Amy made the cake so cute! He love trucks and is a total boy! It was such a great night with them and their family! Love you guys! January 14th!
Nicole and Spencer got married on January 8, 2011. It was fun to go with with most of the team-mates for the weekend. We went to the temple sealing and the luncheon and then played in Salt Lake. It was a great road trip with the friends! Courtney, Josh, JD, and I went up for it!
I know this was a while ago, but I'm playing catch up! New Years Eve and Day were so fun! We didn't do a ton that night-- but we had loads of fun-- It was entertaining enough to have Marcus and Cobb with us on New Years Eve. On New Years day we went sledding, so much fun! :)
