Peter is now a Bear scout

Peter completed all his requirements for Wolf Scout and is now advanced to Bear. 

Mother's Day, Mile Run, & a Wedding

Mother's Day last week was wonderful.  I received the best gift:

Pepper and tomato plants and soil

Peter and I have already planted them and they have survived our relapse into winter this week.

Peter and Lucy had their mile run in elementary school.  Lucy came in 5th out of both 5th grades and Peter came in 3rd out of both 3rd grades.  They did well! Brian forgot to take a picture of Lucy during the race and so made her go back out on the track and took a pic of her running!

One of Emma's very good friends got married on Friday.  Emma was the Maid of Honor and had to make a speech at the wedding and did a great job!

Walking back out after the ceremony

Emma looked so pretty and I love her cheesy smile

This was the father daughter dance.

Peter caught the garter and didn't quite know what to do with it.

So he wore it on his head!

Wedding selfies are fun.

The next day we went to one of many graduation parties since graduation is today.  Kids found a gravel/dirt hill and, of course, had to play on it. (Peter is on the left, Andy and Eric are standing with their friends Keira and Kylie Woffinden.  Emma is hidden behind Kylie.

kids, kids, kids

Eventful week for the Edholm kids.

Eric had his final track meet of the year.  He had a PR in the 1600 meter at 6:32.  He improved a lot over the season and is excited to do track again next year.

Emma is home from Dixie!!  We are very excited to have Emma home for a while.  Brian, Andy, and I were in Utah to bring her home.  Brian and I discovered the wonderful concept of driving long distances with children who can help drive.  We split the drive home up and each of us only had to drive about an hour an a half. 

Driving on the freeway for the first time and did great!

Always fun to drive in the middle of nowhere!

While we were in Utah we got to see lots of family. 

This is at my mom's place, she gave us the hat and flower and they fit Andy so well.

Lucy's 5th grade class had some outdoor adventures today. 

Lucy shooting a pellet gun (with the hat on).  She looks pretty good!

Learning about bear spray and how to use it, a useful thing in Wyoming.

Here she is learning about trapping.

Andy played Buffalo in soccer today and the JV won.  It was a typical May day in Wyoming, cold, slightly rainy, and windy.

Piano Recital

Last night I had my end of the school year piano recital at the Museum.  All the kids did so well!  I was a very proud teacher.  Here is the program and some pictures.
