June Fun

June 11th was the last day of school. Sophia surprised me by coming to school with ME painted on her face! I laughed so hard! She was very proud of it and made sure to tell everyone to "look at Mrs. Hoffman on my cheek!" Sooooo cute!

Now... usually the last day of school is the BEST day EVER for kids. I tried to make it fun by having them dress in costume (I was a skunk or "a little stinker" haha). We even did a count down of the last 10 seconds of third grade and then blew party noise makers to celebrate.

While "celebrating" I was shocked to see faces like these..... sad faces..... and a lot of tears! I had to hold it together and not cry myself. It was soooooooo sweet and sooooooo sad all at the same time.

This might just be the saddest picture in the ENTIRE WORLD! They were ALL CRYING! I am going to miss them so much. I tried to comfort them by telling them that they would see me again next year because I was going to substitute when their 4th grade teacher was out. Then I overheard a bunch of them talking about how they were going to "cough and sneeze all over their teachers next year so they would get sick and I would come back". Uh-oh.


Next up... Father's Day! Jeremy is so excited to be a Daddy. Look how proud he is of the little whale bathtub that will soon be used for his little boy or girl. (Thanks Aunt Tiff!)

Thank you Ryan and Bethanni for letting us borrow your bassinet! Every time I look at it, I smile just thinking about the little angel who will soon be sleeping in it.

7 months and still growing.... eeeeeeek!


For our ONE YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY we decided to go to Vegas and see a Broadway Show. Here we are on the road... we had just stopped at Sonic to get watermelon slushies. It is a Vegas roadtrip tradition.

The first night in Vegas we went to a restaurant that both of us have ALWAYS wanted to go to... Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. It was AMAZING! The steaks come to your table still sizzling and soooooo delicious! It was a wonderful dinner.

The second day we decided to go to ESPN zone and play some games. First up... mini bowling. Look how cute and small the bowling balls are!

Next.... football. Yes, I was reeeeeeally putting some effort into it. Jeremy was cute and kept making sure I felt okay and wasn't hurting. I think he was worried I might go into labor from playing these games, haha. Very sweet.

After the games, we dressed up for the show. We went to a restaurant that Jeremy has been wanting to take me to for a while now... Nobu. We enjoyed the delicious Black Cod and Rock Shrimp. Sooooo good!

Showtime at Mandalay Bay!

We LOVED the show. The costumes were amazing, the music was so beautiful, and I think we were both smiling the entire time.

As an anniversary tradition, we decided to find a piece of cake after the show and feed it to each other like we did on our wedding day. The orgin of the cake eating tradition says that it symbolizes that you will both always be there for each other and provide for one another. Afterwards, we exchanged cards (homemade construction paper cards of course)!

Hurray for our 1 year anniversary.... one AMAZING, WONDERFUL, and EXCITING year together.
