Stadium of Fire and Update

Britni danced at the Stadium of Fire so we got tickets mostly to see her, which was a challenge out of 1300 dancers. We also saw the Blue Man Group and Miley Syrus. Britni had tons of fun, Heather was exhausted, and I loved the fireworks. It was quite an interesting gathering. This was the seating order: Sadi, Drew, Kortni, Autumn, Courtney (Sammy's friend), Sammy, Grandma, Grandpa, Chris, and Darin. It was warm but there was a breeze so that helped. Chris, Tammy and their group had dinner with us before the event.
Chris finished up his last class for his masters' degree. We celebrated and Ruby River with them. He still has two classes and his internship to get his administrative endorsement but he will get his raise with what he had now and that is great! They have their house up for sale. They are hoping to sell it before too long. It is really too small for their family.
Heather is busily going to school. She is doing really well and is learning so many new things. She will be done the end of August. I am benefiting by having microderm abrasion each week, manicures, pedicures, my eyebrows waxed, shaped and dyed. It is very relaxing. Braidon went to Page, Arizona with his stepmom and stepbrother. He is having fun and will be home tonight. Drew took the little girls this weekend. They stayed in a motel and went to the zoo on Saturday. Britni stayed with her dad this weekend so Heather got some much earned rest.
Summer has been busy with her garden. It is flourishing under her watchful care. They tried the potty-training activity this weekend but Cameron says he is still a baby and wears diapers. They'll try again in a couple of weeks.
Stormi and Rick are doing well in Pennsylvania. Stormi is trying her hand at gardening also. They have a huge property so she mows their lawn on a riding lawnmower. We are leaving on Friday to go visit them for the first time. We are so excited to see them and love on those babies.
School has been out for a month and I have gone to school every week day except one since it let out. This week I am teaching an inservice class called Reading To, With, and By 4-6 Graders. I have 15 students so it should be a nice group. The class is from 8-12 each morning Mon-Thurs. The district is paying much better for inservice classes this year. It is nice. I have gotten the guided reading library in tip-top shape. I want to make sure everything is ready for someone new to take over. That has been my baby for many years. I also got all the testing run off for the DRA (developmental reading assessment) we administer in the fall. My room is ready to start school too so I won't have to go back until August 11, the first teacher day.
Skip was released as High Priest group leader today. It is just too much for him. He is in pain most of the time and sleeps alot. He's been awake about 4 hours today. He was sad about the release but he felt like he couldn't do the job justice. I hope he will get lots of rest this week so he can enjoy our trip to see Stormi.
