Graduations, Rice Krispies, Picnics, and MORE!

Hi All! So, due to a growing number of complaints, I thought it was about time to blog again...last night my good friend noted that it had been over a month...oops. So, what's been going on in my life since last month - not a whole lot of anything important really, but maybe enough to make a decent blog. Here we go.
So, my good friend (same one mentioned above) graduated a few weeks ago, and I got to go to the ceremony. It was super great! The speeches were short and sweet, but still meaningful, so that was a bonus. There was some good food too, which I didn't complain about. Also, there were four of us altogether there to see this friend, and we recruited some young folks in the row behind us, and gave up a huge cheer as Natashia crossed the stage! Good times had by all! After the ceremony I went home and slept for the rest of the afternoon because I was sick as a dog. I'm feeling much better now though, thankfully. I guess when you work with a bunch of kids who are frequently sick it is inevitable that you will eventually succumb to the illness as well...boo.
I've been going on lots of walks and bike rides, mostly because I'm part of an exercise challenge at work, but also because the weather has been awesome for the most part! My sister and I walked downtown a couple weekends ago, and saw some ducks (see picture below). Things are still going super well with Jenn being here, and she finally got 2 jobs this past week! She's super excited and relieved, I think she was beginning to worry she'd be unemployed all summer.
I've been helping out in the Sunday school program at church the past few months, and that's been a blast! Today was the last day, so we had a little party to celebrate the end of the school year and the coming of summer. It was a good time to hang out together, play some Bible pictionary, dodge ball, have a 3-legged race, and eat some food. That's where the rice krispie squares come in...So, last night Natashia and I went to a dance recital for one of the girls in the Sunday school (from the family I was living with when I first moved west). The recital was amazing! They had little 3 year olds in litte tutus, jumping around and waving frantically at parents, all the way up to moms! So fun! After the show, Natashia and I got busy preparing for the Sunday school party and for the church picnic. We stayed up good and late making rice krispie squares, jello jigglers, and puff wheat squares. Sticky stuff I tell ya. We also spent some time taping candies to shirts for a picnic game. All in all, I think both events were a success. I had fun at least!
Anyways, I'm going to post this little blurb, and some pictures, and then get ready for the baseball game tonight! We're 2 losses, 1 win for the season so far...gotta pick up the pace!
Hope all is well with each of you.
