Caitlyn wanted to share some jokes:

What do apes like to eat?

Chocolate chimp cookies

(this one is for Aunt Leesy)

KNOCK. KNOCK

Who’s there?

Hawaii

Hawaii who?

I’m great! Hawaii you?

And now back to our shoo! Things are winding down here for the school year, but we are still busy. Caitlyn and I will have a ten day break before we are back at it again. I received a summer job working for Food + Nutrition’s Summer School Program at Rhodes Junior High where Janice is the manager (hurray!). I am really excited to be working with Janice for the summer. The program goes for four weeks, Monday – Thursday, but they want me and Janice to work Fridays testing out new products and creating recipes for these products. I am honored that they think I have the skill to do this – ha ha ha! We are in full swing prepping the school for the demolition this summer and looking forward to the new challenges next year will bring. I was “volunteered” to be in charge of the Cupcake Wars for our end of year party. While I wasn’t looking forward to it at first, in the end I had a blast and received 1^st place for the popular vote and 3^rd for the judges vote. I have registered at Central Arizona College for their Nutrition Program and will be starting online classes this summer. I am excited and feel that it will help me a lot in my desire to continue working for the public schools. I am thirty-one and starting on my five year plan – YIKES!

Curtis and I are still serving in the Nursery and we love every second…well minus the toilet trainees!!  It certainly tests your skills to find a parent before the kids have an accident! I didn’t know I could still move that fast! We serve with some amazing people and feel blessed everyday for our wonderful Ward Family. We shared FHE this last Monday with our neighbors and their family by hosting a game night. It was so much fun! I made caramel corn and I think half the bowl ended up on the floor, I loved it! Nothing like a messy floor to show how much fun you had! This is the family that is moving, and although we pray every day that they will be able to find something in the neighborhood, they will probably be moving out to Queen Creek. It’s about 20-30 minutes from here. We plan on staying in contact with them. They are a great family and have become good friends.

Caitlyn will miss them a lot, she has become good friend with their three youngest. Caitlyn is excited for school to be over and is counting down the days. She will be attending a summer school program called Kids are Gifted at her school for the first four weeks of summer. It is only four hours but works perfect with my work schedule. She had her first field trip this last Thursday to the Mesa Natural History + Dinosaur Museum. She had a blast and talked about it all day. Especially the ride on the bus and her lunchable she had for lunch! Oh the little things in life! She was accepted again into the advanced learning program that she was in this school year. But we are looking into sending her to the Franklin Academy. This is the school that will be moving into our school next year, so along with the wonderfully impressive curriculum they offer is will be fun to see her everyday at lunch! We are hoping to get her signed up for swimming lessons during the summer. She is such a fish. She has to give a talk on Sunday about her baptism, she is so nervous but she will be great.

Curtis is loving his job and the theater along with all the perks! We have enjoyed taking friends with us to the movies for free! He will resume school this fall and is grateful to be moving along with his degree. He and Caitlyn made me a gorgeous herb planter for Mother’s Day to hang in my kitchen. They planted cilantro, chives, rosemary and oregano. We have loved watching those littler seedlings pop up. I am always impressed at the skills my husband has and the creativity he loves to share with Caitlyn. He still works on his “little men” and has a few other models too.

I guess that’s all from us this week! Love you all and miss you!
