Great Teachers

The kids all had such good teachers this year.  I love them all and am so thankful that my kids had them this year.  The kids really liked them as well.  It was a great 2012-2013 school year.  We've been out of school for about a week now and the kids do miss it.  Here are pictures of the kids with their teachers.

That Was a Good Day

When I was on my mission (Grant), I used to take off my shoes at the end of the day and it felt so good to finally take off the shoes.  And I would check out my socks.  If they stuck to my feet when I took them off, then I knew it was a good day that I just had.  I can't explain why, but to me it was a sign of accomplishment.

One night I was sitting in our room at the MTC and I had determined it was a good day - so I peeled my socks off my feet and chucked them against the wall.  The room walls were made of brick and both socks just stuck as soon as they hit.  I took them down and threw them again - sure enough they still stuck.  One of them was sticking to the wall right above the doorway.  As luck would have it, right then our Branch President walked in.  He stopped right under the doorway and just stood there talking with us.  It was a friendly chat, but I was praying the whole time that the socks wouldn't fall down right on his bald head.  Luckily, the sweaty socks hung long enough and the Branch President was spared.

I've told this story to our kids, so every now and then Brandon will tell me if it was "a good day" or not.  Today must have been a good day for him, because this is what I found when I came home from work:

Working Man

He really enjoyed his first day of work.  I think that he will really like working at the Scera this summer.  If you go to the movies, go on Monday mornings and say hello!
