The month of April 2019

Spring Break!

April 1

Track practice.. Ragnar helped run the boys a couple of days. It's nice that I can bribe them with her. 

 April 1

Sabrina and Thalia had birthdays so we went to McDonalds with Elise to play in the play area and have happy meals. It was the Nelson girls first birthday date with me.

 April 2

Traditional Spring Break Mountain Run with JeNae.

8 miles.

Trappers Loop.

 Breakfast afterwards where I ate ALL the foods (mostly, I shared with Derek).

 April 2

 Madison had her first pinewood derby.. her car was a sushi roll.

 April 3

How Ragnar felt about adventures getting canceled because the xterra tried to kill us.

 April 5

Last Course with friends.

Pricey. But worth it.

April 6

It's soccer season!

 April 6

Took the girls and grandpa to the Weber State vs. SUU softball game.  Traditionally I only take Madison to the BYU vs SUU game but this was cheap and the Nelson girls are starting to play to why not everyone go watch?

 Grandpa helping explain the game.

 Wendy's for lunch afterwards! 4 for $4 to the rescue!

 End of Spring Break.

It hailed so much that plows were needed to clear the roads by my house because so many people were slipping.

Ragnar was not happy. 

So. Much. Track.

 The start of my "Princess Pose".

While waiting forever at the Davis Invite, the boys convinced me to set up a Strava account for Ragnar. 

Ragnar made a new friend with Hunter. He didn't care for her at first, but when they started playing he was all about her, esp when I let her off leash and he chased her.

 Saturday April 20

Sabrina Wayment got married!!!! The first of 4 Wayment children I have coached. She was one of my ice cream girls and really made those first few seasons of coaching a joy.  My face is red because I was at a track meet all day then had to rush home, shower, and rush to her reception. She said she didn't care if I came in coaching clothes, only that I just come. She was so happy to introduce her husband to me (Carter was never with her when she came to support her siblings).

 Sarah Layton and Madi Burton.. my other ice cream girls. I just missed Megan Mott but she's getting married in June and then all my ice cream girls will have found their eternal companions!

Easter Sunday

Jessica Peterson's Farewell. Weirdos.

's

Science class wins:

Space project #1- Solar System

I let them paint their planet however they wished. Richie LOVES Saturn and he started painting it Red with too much water so it dripped down. It looked like a murder victim. Then he added more colors because he loves rainbows. Now it's a Murder Rainbow planet.

 Abiotic vs Biotic game, the winner got a "pet rock". I only glued on the eyes and told Hunter, who won, he could draw the rest of the face. He drew it to look like one of the English teachers.

April 25

Madison had a volleyball tournament.

 Elise being an "old lady".

March 2019

The month of March 2019

March 2

WICKED!!!!!
(It was also match day).

 Our group had 70 people in it.. thanks to Jan (lower right hand corner) and she brought yummy treats for everyone at inter mission.

 Someone was tired.

Movie night with friends and SOMEONE couldn't wait for dinner...

 NOT. EVEN. SORRY.

March 6

Birthday dinner out with family.

I originally wanted to go to Holy Smokes but they CLOSE at 4pm during the week. We showed up right as the owner was leaving and he explained why and then gave us a $25 gift card! So we went to Red Robin because it was next door.

 Jordan vs. the Ghost Pepper Burger

Ghost Pepper won. 

Birthday dinner with friends at LoLo Hawaiian.

Thanks to the Clegg's spring cleaning, Ragnar is now the proud owner of a garbage bag full of new stuffies.

Birthday Dinner at home with family.

Make your own pizza night.

The ever watchful Ragnar, waiting to help clean up any dropped food. 

Birthday Hike with friends.

Birthday adventure got snowed out (I don't camp in the snow unlike Derek) so we moved the trip to Spring Break which then got canceled because the cruse control on the xterra tried to kill us on the freeway. So now the birthday adventure will turn into a summer adventure. 

Outdoor track season has begun!

We started off with an invite down in Orem by the mouth of the canyon so it was FREEZING. And yet, almost everyone got a sunburn because we weren't thinking about it. 

 Nate's mom came down and brought Karen and I drinks.. she's so awesome like that.

 The tan lines were not forgiving. Nor was the burned scalp from my hair part.

Goldwest 5k for schools.

Ragnar came this year and she wore her doggles because it helps her stay a little bit more focused and not up in everyone's face.

Elise picked to me to walk with again. We walked until the last half mile where I gave her a piggy back ride so she could run to the end.

 Traditional shoe photo.

 Later that day Jaxson used his Christmas coupon for video game time with Derek.

Derek rediscovered his magic cards and the boys were into it so they played some together.

Don't let this glare fool you. He was really excited to play. Really. 

 Elise even wanted to learn how.

Coach Elise.

Ragnar wasn't feeling well which always worries me because I don't want to be woken up in the middle of the night by a puking dog.

Spring reminding us that it does what it wants and canceled the jr high meet we were supposed to host (not even mad about it).

Some students feel the same way as I do about certain classes. 

Some athletes stress so much about being excused for the bus that they don't appreciate my jokes, he just rolled his eyes at me.
