Launching a New Brand

Jordan School District launched a new logo and tagline today. This is the fourth time I've been involved in a branding project. It's always involves an incredible amount of time and research, but it's so exciting when you unveil your new look. Here's our logo. Our tagline is lead, educate, inspire.

Longer Commute

In preparation for the division of Jordan School District, I moved to our offices a few weeks ago. I'm now commuting from Draper to West Jordan. It takes about a half hour each way. Our new offices are conveniently located at Jordan Landing and we have a great space. I miss coming home for lunch to spend time with Connor and Ian. It's taking awhile to get used to, but I'm slowly adjusting.

A Great Mother's Day!



It has been a great Mother's Day weekend. It started on Saturday with the boys' tee-ball game. of course they won (everyone wins in tee-ball)! Then Connor and Ian took me to Midway to Zermatt Resort. The boys love the pool, carousel and miniature golf; Kim loves the gelato; and I love not having to good. It's one of the few places we can truly relax as a family. We always have such a great time there. I love being Connor and Ian's mother. They always tell me, "You're the best mom we've ever had." Look at these adorable faces...they are the best boys I've ever had!

Tee-ball Season Begins















The boys started tee-ball last night. Connor and Ian are the Cardinals and their first game was against the Nationals. Tee-ball is great because both teams win and every game ends with a treat. It's also a lot more fun this year to have both the boys playing. Ian seems so little out on the field, but he does his best to run with the big boys. Our coach is very patient and it looks like it will be
a great tee-ball season!

Circus Day!



Today was Circus Day at Newcastle Preschool. The boys L-O-V-E-D it. Connor left as a little boy and came home as a ferocious lion, and Ian turned into a hilarious clown. Ian said a clown and her invisible mouse also visited the school today and entertained the students. They love preschool. Connor loves the activities and Ian loves the art projects.

Spring Projects



Finally, the weather has turned a little warmer and it actually feels like Spring, at least for today. Kim and the boys did a lot of Spring projects outside today -- including restaining the playset. The boys love to be outside with Kim. I think they got more stain on the ground than they did on the playset. No matter, they love to feel like they are helping. Too bad they won't always think this kind of work is fun!
