Summer Update

Wow! It has been a long time since we updated this. The end school was crazy busy for me and Jeff is taking summer classes that have been keeping him quite busy too. The last few days of school were just crazy. The parents of some of my students decided to throw me a surprise birthday party the 2nd to last day of school. It was very sweet of them. One parent even made me a frog shaped cake.

The last day of school was nutty. We had a school carnival for the last day. Wow! I don't think that I can say much else except that I survived. Nikki, my niece, came along to help out that day. I was sure glad she was there to help and she provided good moral support.

Backtracking just a bit, in May our new baby niece was born. Little miss Lanie Mae Catt was born on May 23rd. She is super cute and growing fast. She seems to change every time I see her. I think she is now 12lbs. I think Vance and Katie are very blessed by their new little one. I have been told she is a good sleeper at night and not very fussy unless she needs to be changed.

Jeff and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary this summer too. We went to Cannon Beach for 3 days. It was so much fun to bum around the beach. We went down to the tide pools at Haystack Rock one day. We walked back to a different part of Hug Point that you can only get to when the tide is out. Seaside had a really good firework show for the 4th, and Cannon Beach had a cute parade that reminded me of our Sandy Mountain parade. I just love how relaxing the beach is. It was a very nice get away. Oh, and of course we stopped at the Tillamook Cheese Factory. There is nothing better that an ice cream cone and squeaky cheese. :)

Jeff's summer classes are going pretty good. He just finished his business class and is now on to accounting. His group project in his business class went so well that the teacher told them they didn't have to take the final. That is about all for our summer. We have mainly been doing little things here and there (going hiking with friends, catching a movie, etc.). It has been a nice summer. I don't want it to end but I still have a few weeks left. Well, That is all for now. I will try to update more often.
