School Ended I have loved working at my new job with these amazing kids! Here are some end of the year pictures. I can't wait for next year because I will get to go through an entire school year with my students! Honeymoon Visit Stacy and Dan Birk did some road tripping for their honeymoon. We met up with them in San Diego and went on a double date to an Island restaurant and then to the temple. We had a really great time together. Stacy is so amazing. She has such neat gospel insights and a very strong testimony. I'm so glad we're still friends. Beach Cruisin ' Jeremy and I found some beach cruisers at Walmart for an amazing price during Memorial Sale Weekend. We've been riding around town ever since! These bikes are seriously so much fun!!

Weekend Trips

Sacramento, May 29-31 Katie, our little sis, and two of our cousins graduated High School! So we drove up to have a party with them and visit the fam. It was a VERY quick visit, but we managed to play basketball as a family at the church, have a BBQ, watch the movie UP with our friends Ian and April, and enjoy a few hours of church before heading back to HB. Great Gma June, 94 years old! Jeremy hit a tennis ball with a baseball bat straight at Matt's arm. Ouch! Our new baby cousin, Aaron! Jeremy with Katie Jeremy got to help at a convention for work!

So I hit two weddings and receptions in one day. It was another VERY quick visit, but so worth it to see the brides as happy as can be.

Visit from Mom R

A few weeks ago, my mom came to see my school's first grade performance that I directed. We had a really fun time with her. Highlights included: Visiting my music classes and school Walks on the beach Eating out Temple session in the Newport Beach Temple First Grade Musical, Lemonade. It went really, really well!! Horse Races La Brea Tar Pits- so cool!! This place in downtown LA has tar bubbling up from the inside of the earth. The tar has been oozing for centuries. And during the ice age, it captured many animals. We got to see the pits that researchers are excavating. Really fascinating. Venice beach and the wacky drum circle group Downtown Disney and firework show It was really neat to have her be with us for the week!
