DARE Graduation

Heather along with all of McKinley 5th grade graduated from the DARE program.  They usually get a shirt that is 10 times to big but tonight they received a DARE bumper sticker and a key chain with a light and compass on it.  I am proud of her.

There was a coloring contest for the Bear River Bird Refuge to create a new banner for them.  Mrs. Denney's 4th grade class entered the contest.  Rachel and Crystal Vargas were the winners from McKinley Elementary.  Rachel was able to spend 2 hours at the Bird Refuge taking her picture from an 11 x 14 size to a banner size.  It was a lot of work but she did great.  Just check out these pictures.

McKinley did an awesome job on this play.

21 Years

Yesterday was my 21st wedding anniversary.  I spent it with some of my girlfriends at El Parral for a late lunch, early dinner.  Then I went to gymnastics with my girls.  My husband helped one son build a pop bottle rocket with an egg carrier in it and then went home teaching.  How is that for celebrating our anniversary?  Maybe we can do it on Saturday as the girls have their Alice in Wonderland play on Friday.

SUN

Things are going well in the Nielsen household.  The girls did great at the gymnastics competition.  Heather was 9th overall and Rachel was 7th overall.  

We are enjoying this nice warm sunshine.  I hope it stays and doesn't get too hot.

Wonderful Friends

I just wanted to say thank you to all the ladies who mean a lot in my life.  I am so grateful to have such wonderful friends.  Dinner tonight was fun. I needed a girls night out.  The scone tasted great but is not agreeing with my body.  

Fun, Fun, Fun, NOT!

It looks like surgery number 6 is going to happen on the knee.  This is actually scope number 4.  I t will happen sometime in the next month.  Just need to figure out a few things and then I can get it scheduled:-(
