Summer is always a blast!!!

My road trip up to Oregon with Cyndi was a Blast! I got a ticket in Northern California which I think the cop was being unfair. I had just passed a big rig in the passing lane provided and the cop clocked me from the other side of the road. I think I should have been give a warning!! Don't you??? Lame! Oh well....I never get tickets otherwise. :)
Cyndi and I visited or our Hawaii friend Renee Lemone who lives in Oregon. She is awesome and so sweet! I played golf with her husband and 2 boys. It was fun!. I love golf for those of you who didn't know that about me. :)



Summer came and went so fast!! Bummer! I did a ton of things!!! My sister Lori came to Utah from Michigan with her 4 kids. It was fun to see them after 3 years. They are really good kids! I love love my niece Anastasia who is 4. She has an outgoing personality and she wanted to be around aunty Helen the entire time they were here. We were able to go to the Provo Veterans pool and hang out.
Here are a few pictures...

Last day of school for the year

I am soooo excited that my year of school is over. We had to deep clean and move all furniture today. It feels good to give my classroom a good scrubbing. I neglect my classroom sometimes. :) A classroom needs some love and attention too. I had a GREAT class this year! I will miss my kids. I heard I will get a good class next year! I am happy about that!

My good friend is no longer a 5th grade teacher with me. It is time for her to move on in life. I am really bumbed!!! It just won't be as much fun with her gone. I just want to thank you for being AWESOME! You saved me from going crazy! I hope you enjoy being a mom! I can't wait to see your cuttie and be AUNTY HELEN. :)

What is next?????
I am off to Oregon on a road trip to take Cyndi to school.
I hope everyone enjoys their JULY holiday!
Thank you for being great people!

What's the Haps?

Well, I've had an interesting month. I went out to Ohio to visit/babysit my sister Debbie's two kids. All I have to say is that I am glad I don't live by them! I was a little shocked in how Bratty my niece and nephew were. I tried to make the best of it. I was schedule to stay 2 1/2 weeks but couldn't take any more. I came home 3 days early! I was glad to get home.

I went to the Kelly Clarkson concert in Orem. It was fun even though it rained almost the entire time. :) Coming from the rainy state of Hawaii...Small kine. When I got home I read an email from my dad stating he is getting a divorce from Lynn Carey. I knew that would happen. I think it is for the best. Right now I am trying to be a 2nd brain for my dad and going with him to his lawyer appointments. He is getting old and can't remember many things.

What is next you ask????? I only have 2 more weeks of school and I then have a 2 week break until my next school year.
Fun, Fun. I am looking forward to my sister Cyndi coming from Hawaii to visit for a week. Then I am going on a small road trip up to Oregon to drop my sister off. Cyndi is starting a Masters program in Theatre. I love road trips! Can't wait for Summer!!!!

Old pictures

I thought I would post some older pictures to remember how cute I was and how funny my hair looked! lol.
Enjoy!

Vegas was great!

Mel and I had a great time in Vegas! We were able to go to dinner at Wolf gang pucks restaurant. The food is expensive but pretty tasty. We walked around hotels, then went to our room until it was time for Jason's concert.
Jason's concert was awesome! We had middle seats that were really good. The price of the tickets paid off! Jason's opening act was James Morrison. OMGosh...James has a GREAT voice! You really should look him up. I wish I could go to see James in concert but his tour is only going to be in Europe. Bummer. The concert ended at 3 in the morning. Fun!
Mel and I walked back to our room and we heard a ruckis above us. We figured out that it was a bowling alley. Nuts! The Suites were right above our room. I called down to the front desk and told them that we couldn't sleep with all the noise. Security went to there room an hour and a half later. Needless to say we didn't stay another night like we had planned. Oh well, we went to Vegas for Jason. We were satisfied with what we did. My next concert is Kelly Clarkson in June. Fun!

Vegas, Here I come!!!

I am so excited for Saturday! I am going on a small road trip with my sister Mel to VEGAS! Woohoo! We are planning to make the 2 day vacation a BLAST! The main reason for going to Vegas was the Jason Mraz concert. It is a midnight show on Saturday. I am sooo excited! I love Jason! :) We plan to eat at nice restaurants, see the water spectacle at the Bellagio, and maybe see a comedy show. Can't wait. Oh yeah, I am taking a day off from school! SHHH....don't tell! LOL.

HE IS SO SEXY!!!

O le O le O le O le...

I went to my 1st professional Soccer game this past weekend. I went to see Real Salt Lake soccer team Play New England Revolution. I went with my sister Mel. When we got there we got hot chocolate and then went to find our seats. When we sat down, I noticed that I had bought GREAT seats! Yay! The game lasted about 2 hrs. Good thing it was only 2 hrs because I had a cramp in my OKOLE from leaning to my right. I was trying not to touch the guy sitting next to me! LOL. It was a cold night, but it was fun to be in that kind of atmosphere. Everyone at the game had great energy...and there was a big cheering section of Latinos chanting "O le O le O le." Fun! lol. I hope to get to go to another game soon. There were a lot of HOT GUYS! lol
