The Graduate!

The best looking graduate! It was a beautiful day! We were so lucky.

It has been a great 2 years! Thanks Shumways! We will miss you.
Kev's parents so proud of their son!

Yea! We're Done!

On Saturday June 14th Kevin graduated from the University of Washington with his masters of HealthCare Adminstration! He has been working so hard the last two years to earn this degree. I am so proud of him! Kevin is such a hard worker in general and I know he has enjoyed his last two years of school. He has made great friends within his program and has loved spending his days at the UW with them. I know he is going to miss school just a little bit. Now it is on to his administrative fellowship with the Fransican Health System based out of Tacoma. I know he will be so successful and will be a phenominal healthcare leader! Go Kev!

Kiss the school year goodbye!

It has been quite the week! I have lots to blog about, but first things first. Today was the last day of school! I love that summer is here, but so sad to see my 5th graders go. It is hard once you have the same kids over and over...you get attached at least I do. We had such a fun week though. We had a "Pirates" party because we were the Pittsburgh Pirates this year for our school reading program. Play day was the best...I am a bit competative as is my class and we kicked butt at tug o' war, which is my personal favorite. Our 5th grade celebration was on Thursday and that is where we graduate our 5th graders onto middle school. I have just loved my 9 5th graders. They all hold a special place in my heart. I will miss them dearly. It has been a delight working with such great kids. I also love my 3rd and 4th graders, but I will see them in the fall. It is always a surreal day on the last day of school, because it always feels like it was just the first day!

I love the fun cycles!

We went to the Oregon Coast last weekend and had so much fun! It was great visiting all the places we would go when I was a child. The beach was beautiful and it didn't rain on us. Yea! Enjoy our pictures from our great weekend.
