June Adventures

On Monday, June 6 we hiked Bell Canyon with Dad Burr. It has rained a ton this spring so it was a wet hike, but very green. Here we are at the lower falls.



My attractive husband about to jump in the falls...j/k.



Me at the falls



Father and son



We even saw a fawn on our hike. Good times.



On Thursdays we work in the Provo Temple. This particular day it was so beautiful. So many roses and such a sunny day.



On Thursday, June 16 we had a picnic at Rock Canyon Park. We obviously took this picture ourselves.



After the picnic we went to see Bridal Veil Falls. I guess we really like to look at waterfalls.



On Friday, June 17 we went to the Hill Air Force Base Museum. Greg is a little obsessed with airplanes. He likes airplanes as much as he likes classical music. We didn't have to read about any of the planes because Greg already knew everything and just told me!



Here we are in front of the Wright Flyer.



Greg's favorite: an F-16.



We had a lot of fun and it was totally free!!



That night we went to the tumbling gym with Greg's family.



Greg was pretty impressive.



Here's the crew: Malerie, Mom Burr, Dad Burr, Greg, Haley, Aubry, Jesse, and baby Joel. We know how to have a good time!

Good bye, Farrer Elementary!

On Friday, May 20, Greg and I went to the BYU Planetarium. Pretty fun and it only cost two dollars!! Doesn't this picture look so cool?



On Monday, May 23 we went to Ashley and Ben's for dinner. We also taught them how to play the game 'Ticket to Ride'. We know how to have a good time.



Last week I had 15 students in my class receive their Accelerated Reader Awards. They have to pass a series of comprehension tests to get their medal. This is a big deal when you're only in 1st grade. I was so proud of them. (There are only 14 in this picture because one of the students was absent).



There are some scary kids at our school...



The last day of school at Farrer Elementary. Next year we will be going to Provo Peaks Elementary. I had a really great class this year. By far the smartest group of kids I've ever taught.



Of course they insisted on doing a silly picture...



The last day at Farrer with the Farrer faculty. We will miss Farrer.



We went to Horseshoe Bend for Memorial Day weekend and my brother, Dillon gave a speech at his high school graduation. He's so grown up.

Spring Fever

On Friday, May 6, we went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point, in Lehi, Utah. It was so beautiful... and VERY CROWDED!!! I guess everyone thought it would be a good idea to go to the Tulip Festival on such a beautiful spring day.


Happy Spring!

Just taking a walk...



I should have taken up modeling...jk.



This is my FAVORITE kind of tulip: pink with yellow tips. So pretty!



Tulip Paradise



Until next year, I guess.



I turned 27 last week. Greg made me an awesome dinner of wild rice, rolls, salad, corn, and of course chicken cordon bleu!!! It was awesome!



Then he gave me roses and made me a cookie cake to celebrate. Okay, okay, I'm old!



On Sunday Aubry and Jesse blessed their baby Joel. (Notice that me and Aubry are matching: black shirt and a pink skirt. Great minds think alike.)


Baby Joel with his favorite uncle.



Baby Joel with his favorite aunt... we're naturals, right??



Today Greg came to my class and brought his violin and viola.



The students LOVED playing them.



Greg is a good teacher.



It was a "moment in time"!

Amazing April

I am always so proud of my students who reach their reading goals. This last quarter I had 12 students get medals for reaching their goals on their comprehension tests (unfortunately two of them were absent).



Greg's birthday was on the 15th of April. He turned 27 and he got some cool gifts from me.



The cake turned out okay. It was actually homemade brownies from scratch. Our favorite!



Last weekend we had a great visit with my cousin, Anthony and his family.



My mom came to Park City, UT to have a retreat with her sisters. They came to Provo one evening for a visit. Here she is with her favorite grandchild, that is until I have a baby.



A four generation picture: grandma, mom, Ashley, and Cheyenne.



Of course we had to eat at Brick Oven when they came. There was quite a group of us including cousins, grandma, aunts, etc.



Last night we had my old roommates over for dinner and games. Jenga got pretty competitive.



We got up to 32 stories... pretty intense.



Here is the group: Serenity and her husband Bradley, me and Greg, Kami and Cynthia. Good times!
