Memorial day weekend was a busy weekend for me! I went to Vernal and came back to Idaho Saturday. On Monday Scott, Dan, Patty, Alex and his friend Megan and I went to Mesa Falls. We parked at the lower falls and got some pictures.

Then we "hiked" to the upper falls. Scott hiked on the actual trail while the rest of us stayed out of the mud. The trail only lasted for a bit and then we walked up the asphalt road to the falls.

The water is really high this spring. So it made things so exciting :D

It was so fun to get out and be with family. Yay for adventures!

I was asked, back in February or March, to become the Director of a Developmental Daycare. I was given a building and a name (The Perfect Nanny) and was told to get to work :) At the time I was working as a Developmental Specialist at the building that would become my daycare. This explains my lack of posting for sure. I've been busy being a Developmental Specialist, creating a daycare from mostly scratch, and doing school billing. I was basically doing three jobs. I had to wait until May 31st to open my doors, so it's been quiet the journey. I was able to hire one other person to be my assistant director and this past Tuesday we opened our doors.
As you enter the building this is what you see: (the saying on the right says "From small beginnings come great things")

After our hike Dan, Patty, Scott, Alex and I went to Idaho Falls to get the daycare mostly set up. this is a video of the kids at play...but the purpose of the video is to give you a panned tour of the main area :)



this is what it looks like outside:


Our open house was today. We had a petting zoo with llamas, goats, dogs, and a bunny :)



I'm so thrilled with all that I've been able to do so far. This is a dream come true for sure! You should go to the website that I created to learn more about the developmental daycare :D

Memorial day weekend I went to Vernal to surprise Tina. You see, my daycare was opening on Tuesday and she was graduating the Friday before. So every time I talked to her I made sure to share with her how stressed I was (which was completely the truth) and all the things that I needed to do before we opened the daycare. This process began back in April or maybe even March. So she had no idea I was coming...until my brother slipped it out the day before I got there. I was still able to surprise her though so all is well and Timmy doesn't have to die ;) It was so fun being there for her and seeing family. I went by myself because Scott had school and work but it was still great fun.

After the graduation we all went over to Grandma's house for dinner.

Aunt Judy even made Tina a special Snicker Salad (Scott was sad he missed out on that!)

I'm so proud of you Tina, and excited for your future! Love you to forever and always :D

My first night in Vernal we got together with some old neighbor friends for a girl's night. It was so fun to visit and be together like the good ol' days.

Yay for good friends!

I love going to see family but having nephews makes it even more exciting. :D When Meagan told Mayson and Aadyn that I was coming over to see them Mayson said, "Aunt Classy? Aunt Classy is my favorite!" So adorable.

During Tina's graduation Mayson was fed treats by Mammy (my mom...you should look up the definition of that word. But, understand that Mayson just came up with it, and did not choose it because of the definition...obviously. haha) These treats included chocolate, of course. :) This is the face of a child that wants his chocolate.

We had some bonding moments at Grandma's house (my grandma) in the basement. Mayson was showing off and being such a boy. He would run into a pillow that I was holding with such force that he would be knocked to the floor and since we were all laughing he would get up and do it again.

These cuties realized that they can fit inside of Grandma's kid kitchen cabinets. They were pretty proud of themselves.

they ended up needing a referee at only one point, when they both realized they could lay down...

In the end we got it all worked out of course, because Classy is cool like that ;)

This is proof to everyone that Scott and I know more people than family and Teancum. The last few weeks we've gotten together with neighbors for s'more roasting and barbecue.
Jessica and Ryan are Dan and Patty's upstairs neighbors and our next door neighbors. They invited us over for a barbecue and since it ended up raining we had it inside and roasted marshmallows on their stove :)

We did get to do a real s'more roasting a few weeks before that with them and Alex and Andrea-Patty's friend- in Dan, Patty, Ryan, and Jessica's fire pit next door.

It was so nice to sit around the fire and chat and laugh. Good times, good times.

Our upstairs neighbors invited the Dan, Patty, Scott and I for a BBQ on our patio. Scott made an interesting hamburger and I laughed at him...but by the end of the hamburger I was jealous since mine was falling apart and he still had plenty of bread to hold his together. haha.

Danielle, Lee and Charity were so nice to invite us and share their animal love with us.

Even though the kittens kept clawing at her, Charity would not give in. haha. She wanted to love on them. Charity is my cute little friend. She calls me "Sassy" and calls Scott "Sock." I LOVE when little ones can't say my name, it's so adorable!

A few weeks ago I REALLY wanted to go fly a kite! So we got together with Alex (Scott's brother), Dan, and Patty and made kites. The boys made a kite together using a garbage bag and dowels.

Patty and I made bumblebee kites from thick paper.

Then we went up by the temple to fly them together.
The bumblebee sort of worked...enough for me to be happy at least :)

The guys kite took more work to get up into the air and was a little dangerous as it would come down...

and it was cold...this is a picture of Scott shivering :D

and here is the take off...or landing...they were pretty much one in the same.

So, in my biased opinion-THE BUMBLEBEE WINS! :D
