SKYDIVE UTAH!

What a crazy day! Clint dove out of a plane with his good friend, Rod, and my stomach was in knots. He made it back to land safely, and had a blast. I'd have to admit I was a little jealous, but there was no way in heck I was jumping out of a plane. Maybe someday, but as of now I'm too chicken. Check out these sweet pictures and videos....

Before the Dive:

Look...he's not even phased by the fact that he MIGHT be jumping to his DEATH!!!!

During the Dive:

Check out the beautiful scenery!! How amazing is this???

The Landing:

You gotta LOVE Clint's Fro after the dive! That's sweet.

A Few of My Favorite People....

Today was my last day at Mills Montessori School. Since I'll be going to school from 8a-3p next semester, I just wasn't able to work at the preschool anymore. I had a blast working there, and I had the cutest kids in my class!! I LOVED each one of them. I"ll miss them dearly. I was sad to leave, but I know that school is more important right now. I thought I'd share some of the pictures and videos of these cutie pies...you'll easily see why they were some of my favorite people.....

Maci & Hailey:

Maci always liked to do the "Crazy Llama" dance for me!!

Hailey always enjoyed being a Ptyeradactyl dinosaur.

Christian & Matt:

These two were definitely a pair of cuties. They always did something everyday to make me smile and laugh! Just look at those innocent sweet faces.

Madison:

She was so sweet and lovable. She would often climb in my lap and just sit and talk with me for at least twenty or thirty minutes a day.

Grace, Isaac, Sam B., Jessica, Sam C.:

This was the kindergarten/1st grade bunch. They kept things lively and were extremely smart!

Back Row: Lucas, Jake, Isaac

Middle Row: Dylan & Grace

Front Row: Sam P. & Samuel

I've already talked about most of these kiddos. Jake, however, was one of my buds. He was in the 2nd grade class, but we always had fun on the playground. We often got in soccer battles, or started up a game of hide-and-go-seek. He was full of energy and always the comedian. I think I got along with him so well because he really reminded me of my nephew, Andrew (who lives all the way in Alabama)

The Crazy Llama Dancers

So one day at playtime, the kids started dancing and they asked me to make up a song to the their dance. Well, Maci was galloping around, and making funny head movements. For some reason, she looked like a llama to me, so we made up the song, "Crazy Llamas, Crazy, Crazy Llamas", and they all thought it was hysterical. Good times!

Interior Decorations

For Christmas, Clint gave me a gift cerficate to Tai Pan Trading Company!! This place has all sorts of decor for pretty cheap, and it's very nice. I used the gift certificate to decorate the kitchen, and part of the living room. Ever since then, I've been making decorations and buying odds and ends to make our home look a little more "homey". Since most of you haven't seen my house because you live so far away, I thought I'd show you some pictures of what it looks like.

Kitchen: Deep Red & Golden Yellow Decor

Dining Room: Olive Green placemats, Suede wall,

Golden Yellow and Deep Red flower centerpiece, Pub Table

Living Room: Black & Deep Red Decor

Recent crafts I made:

Coming Up Next:

In a few weeks, I'll be posting pictures of our finished yard. I'm just waiting for the Hawaiian flowers to bloom. They're almost there, and I can already see the buds!!

Other than that, we're going to Stanley, Idaho with Clint's family over my birthday next week. I'm pretty excited to take a break from work and school. Until then, I hope everyone's having a great summer. Check back soon for other updates!
