Love This Picture

I just had to post this picture. These are the Chase grandchildren. Age does not matter with this crazy group of kids. Whenever they are together, they are wild and crazy and have so much fun. This picture was taken at Alyssa and Will's birthday party. They had so much fun that day!

Biking at the Beach

Last weekend was beautiful. We decided to load up the bikes and head to the beach. The weather was amazing. It was a little cool but perfect for a day in Balboa. We ate lunch at Ruby's on the pier, rode bikes all through Newport and Balboa, took a ferry over to the island, then made our way to McD's for an ice cream on our way home.

This crazy character kept stealing the fish from the fisherman's lines. It was the funniest thing to watch. Then he just stopped and posed so I could take his picture.

Taking a break and enjoying the amazing weather.

I Tried!

I had every intention of keeping my blog up-to-date. However, life continues to let me know that sometimes I'm not in charge. School is my biggest reason for not keeping this updated. I am happy to report that I am down to two weeks. Two weeks until I am free from essays, reports, and endless math problems. Needless to say I am just a tad bit excited. Student teaching will not start until September so I will have an entire summer to do.....well...I'm not sure yet but I know there will be many things I can do. It has been a challenge at times but I am so thankful the end is this close. I am so anxious and excited I can hardly stand it. I have a really, REALLY bad case of Senioritis. Scott and the kids have been amazing though. They are the ones I lean on when I am tired and need extra support. It is still hard to believe that my time as a student is almost finished. I know I have more to learn with student teaching but that is so different from what I am doing now. The interaction with the students is what I most look forward to.
