Train Park Fun
Sunday, May 30, 2010
We met my parents at
the McCormick-Stillman Ranch Railroad
Park again. It was a nice, sunny afternoon.
It is a very fun park and has lots of
entertainment!
Email to Miss Sara
Wednesday, May 26, 2010
Last night, Skyler and I were talking about
school and he cried and said "I want to be four
years tall and not five years tall, so I can be
in Miss Sara's class again."
This morning, he asked "Can I visit Miss Sara's class next year?".
That is a testament of your impact!
Thanks again for two great years,
Jeff
Her reply:
Thank you for sharing that with me. I have tears in my eyes. You never know for sure how you impact a family or a child. So, Thank you.

retired from Hillcrest Middle School. This is

Skyler 365
Tuesday, May 18, 2010
I took a photo of
Skyler every day during his 4th year, starting on
his birthday on May 18th, 2004 to May 17th, 2010.
It was a lot of work, but well worth it. This is a
work-in-progress...
Skyler has been crossing off the days until his birthday. He likes learning about time and calendars. I also took Skyler to Toys R Us on his birthday to buy Army Man Legos!

Fishing With Grandparents
Monday, May 17, 2010
While Renea and I
escaped down to Mexico, my parents took Skyler on
his first fishing trip. They didn't catch anything
that first time, but I look forward to going on the
next one!
Rocky Point 2
Sunday, May 16, 2010
Renea and I went to Rocky Point (Puerto
Penasco) again
with some friends from work. Saturday was a
looooooooong day of...having fun.
Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to dinner!
It may be our last time in Mexico for a while, since things have gotten more negative in taking trips down there. Maybe someday in the future we can visit again with Skyler.
See all the photos (choose the album).

Dinosaurs Vs. Superheroes
Tuesday, May 11, 2010
Skyler and I like to
line up his millions of toys to play out battles
between the good guys and the bad guys. He has a
lot more toys than I remember having as a child,
but I had to share (or not) with my younger
brother. Now, I have to share with my young son!
He likes to get things for himself and comes up with creative ways to do that!

Mother's Day
Sunday, May 09, 2010
We had a great time with family on Mother's Day!
Everyone enjoyed watching Skyler and his cousin
Nathan get rocketed into the pool by Josh. We
took lots of underwater photos, too.
I didn't take photos of Skyler and his mom, my mom and me...but, we really had a nice day and I look forward to more Sunday afternoon get-togethers this summer!

Mommy Day
Thursday, May 06, 2010
Skyler invited his mom
for one of the last days of school. They sang
songs, played games, and made crafts. He has really
learned a lot these past two years of preschool
with Miss Sara and he will miss her.
Teacher Appreciation Day
Wednesday, May 05, 2010
Actually, it is
Teacher Appreciation Week, and our school's
P.A.T. has been treating us like
royalty.
Yesterday, I had to drive way out to ASU East to get my master's project printed, but after noticing a typo, I decided to come back home and fix the mistake at my parents', where I also printed copies. We wanted to get a free meal for teachers at Applebees, but saw a huge line out the door and quickly decided to go to Uncle Sam's next door. Back at my parents' house, dad helped me out a lot to make sure the printing looked good. Today, I went back to ASU East, paid a gazillion dollars for the binding, and then drove home with a big smile on my face. I will be graduating with my master's in a couple of weeks!

Scorpion!
Sunday, May 02, 2010
We caught a scorpion
in the bottom of the pool and decided to have some
fun with it. Josh almost dropped it in his mouth
and I scared Skyler when I was showing it. I
ordered a huge blacklight to help us in our search
for scorpions in the yard.
