Tooth it was nice knowing ya

This girl's tooth has been hanging for weeks and she wouldn't let anyone near it! Just like her sister was with her first. So funny how nervous they get about teeth. But I guess it is the first big change as you grow. Anyways, it finally fell out while brushing her teeth and I love the excitement on her face. The tooth fairy came and left $2.00.

Last day of school. . . but much more

 

The last day of school for the children and for Grandma. . . 

 

Saying good bye to friends, teachers, colleagues,

Goodbye to being helpers and running the school

Now let's blow this place. . . with bubbles. We are that serious about moving on.

Hoard Sale

Last year after seeing the awesomeness of the Hoard sale I told myself I would not miss it this year! And so I dragged my mom to Utah Friday night to sleep on a couch and then I dragged some more family to eat waffles and participate in the 'black Friday' of yard sales. If you don't know what I am talking about go to Vintage Revivals and then come back. . . . I will hold. . . .Exhilirating right? My family was pretty disappointed that I didn't enter the dance off for early entry. But I know how many followers Mandi has over there. Enough said.

And then I took a picture with my 'bestie'. Which my husband does not understand how that works. But we have been besties for awhile. . she just didn't know it. Thus is the life of a blog follower.

Then we ran home, I changed in a church classroom and watched my daughter perform in her piano recital. All while my husband dreaded to look at the back of my vehicle and our bank account haha. Here he is being all dramatic about my treasures. And I do not use the word treasure lightly. I ran through hoarding women to snatch my treasure's tag before someone else tried to claim them. All while the theme song from the Lego Movie played in my head. Now behold the magical creatures. . .

Until next year Hoard sale!

When did this happen?!

Fifth grade dances,

Graduation dress shopping,

and all of a sudden the day is here and my baby is graduating out of elementary school. sniff sniff. . .

Memorial day took us to a graveyard

 My family were first to get there and so me and the girls walked around. It just felt so special to know why we were there and that every headstone held memories, stories, tears and love.

"To the outside world, we all growold. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time." Clara Ortega

 I love my family and it may seem odd, but I love this holiday. To stop and thank those who have lived a good life.
