My little Nollie was missing!! Come to find out 2 hours later
we finally found her in the trampoline Hole. WHAT? That is
exactly what I thought. Well finally Mckay got home and
I knew they were playing with Nollie all day and I figured
McKay and Ellie had to have been apart of it. Well dont worry
Come to find out................Yup, McKay threw her in the hole
and left her there!! I was sort of upset but just more sad for
Nollie because she has not come out of my closet the last few days.

Our Friend Puck and Jess

Our Friend Puck just got married a few days ago to the cutest girl named Jessica West. It was the most beautiful wedding. I am so sad I did not take more pictures..
Her dress was the most gorgeous dress I have ever seen. I am going to try to find more pictures and post them later. But I will post the Pictures that were taken.

Casey & Courtney- Me&Aaron- Heather&Jared- Becca&Andy

This is Case, Courtney, Heather Jared and MJ at the lunch in. I am seriously so sad that the pictures of Puck and Jess did not work here. It was at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and was wonderful.

This is just another angle of us at the table.

It was a beautiful wedding and I will try to post some more pictures of the actual couple.

Night Of Fun

I am trying really hard to update my blog at least once a week and the other day we went to the B.Y.U game with our friends Jared and Heather Benson, but of course, like always I forgot my camera so I took some in the night time.

We went to Costa Azul which was delicious as always.

Jared and Heather.

We had a really fun night, just went to dinner and then watched "Fracture" which we rented from Cougar rental and for those of you who have not seen I suggest it. It was a really, really great movie.

Sorry this blog was sort of boring but you know what.. I try my best.

Family Weekend

As you can see, We just couldnt get enough of our dirtbiking action last week so we decided to go again and take the whole family.

Me, Whit, Jax, Mom and DAD

This is me and aaron just doing our thang.. You know how it is. On Wednesday I was just running out the door for the best thing in the World -- Kickboxing--(besides Aaron). Aaron had just pulled up with a big green something in his truck... Yup a new dirt Bike.. and Yup it was a surprise to me. Oh well whatever makes him happy right? Just kidding but we are so excited for him and his Big Green Lean machine.

Missed the rest of the family like Ryan and Trev. We love you!!

AARON, ME, WHIT, JAX and MOM.

This is us at Daniel Summit just eating some yummy lunch. We rode up from Wallsburg to Daniel Summitt. It was quite scary because it just snowed last weekend and there was snow all over the trails that turned into ice. We slipped and fell a few times (really scaring mom) but we were fine in the end.

Whit, Jackson and Mom. Lookin SENSASH ow ow!!

U.E.A * Break

UEA weekend was so much fun! I tell you what, it is great being a teacher because I dont have to ask off for time when there is a Holiday I just automatically get it off, its wonderful.
This is me and my wonderful, amazing, hubby Aaron. He surprised me and took me DirtBiking we rode up to Daniel Summit, it was so fun and such a nice day.I loved it. I was so mad because I forgot to bring the camera with us, dang it. After we packed up and headed off to Vegas.

This is me and Aaron just chillin with my Grandpa and Grandma Hill checking out the Hot Spots in Vegas.

After Shopping and playing on the strip we met up with my Family at the BYU vs UNLV game, we had so much fun. Whit, me, Aaron, Jax, Mom and Dad. Oh and Grandma and Grandpa came too.

Just Me, Whit and the lady in back of us. Whit is sporting the BYU shirt and I'm supporting the Rebels (UNLV). Oops I had no idea that the colors were red and black. Tell you what, I really got in trouble with those BYU fans in back of us, but Honestly I did not know!

Grandpa, Grandma, Dad and Mom, what BEAUTIFUL people!!!!

After the game we left for Hawaii and this is us just in front the Matchicada Falls.

Just Kidding!! Were only at The Wynn in Vegas.

4th GRADE!!!

OKay here it is, MY FOURTH GRADE Class ROOM!!
Fun huh. I cant believe it!I just cant believe that I am teaching school! YIKES! I absolutely love my class they are so much fun and I definetly am so blessed with the students that I recieved.

SEE, here they are just as cute as can be and just a mature as can be! Yeah right.. But they really are so much fun and I love them! Alot of times I just sit there thinking "How in the world did I get here?" Time goes so fast, I will admit that its good when your having a tough week but today I had a teacher say to me, "Can you believe that it has already been seven weeks?" Geez before I know it, it will be summer time soon and then I will be getting ready for another year.

Last but not least I thought it would be a good idea to put a picture of myself just so you knew it was my class room and so that you could see just how happy I am. THANK GOODNESS! I was trying to figure out a theme for my class because I wanted to make it a fun atmosphere and I thought of polka dots, thats why you see all the polka dots in the background. My students love it they are so cute about it. I had these two little girls come up to me on Monday and tell me that their moms took them to get pedicures and "they asked for polka dots because they were Mrs. Binghams favorite thing." Cute huh. That is the kind of stuff that makes me want to be a teacher. The students just adore you, especially in Fourth grade, and they are always trying to please you. Its the greatest feeling in the world. It makes you feel so special.

NOLLIE

After kitty died in April I was so sad because I loved her so much. I kept on bugging Aaron to get another one and he kept saying NO!! Lately he has been working like every weekend, and I teach every singe day and look forward to the weekend. Well guess what.. there is nothing really to look forward to because Aaron is gone so finally I said " I am going to get a new kitty" and so I did. She is so stinkin cute. Her name is Nollie and I love her. She is only 9 weeks old and totally crazy. I feel bad because I am at school all day but she doesn't mind because she just plays all day by herself, she's entertained very easily.
This is her just playing with me and my little sister Whitnie. She is so fast its so fun to watch her.

Its a great day to be alive

Yeah We Got a New Car!!!

Yea so we got a new car, and I do not know how to turn this underline off!, anyway we found it online Friday and went and picked it up that night.

Ta-DaJust some other pictures of the car. I am so excited because its a bigger car and it has 4 wheel drive which is really good because of the snow and driving up these huge mountains, it gets really stinkin scary.

Just Conner, my dog, in the car chillin like a villan.
Word Hommies. Well thats it and I cant wait to drive it on my first day of teaching Tuesday August 21st. Yeah 4th grade and Im so excited. Ill for sure let you know how it goes.
Love Everyone!

Miralcles DO HAPPEN

Well folks I have some bad news. The Friday August 10th I was driving from my house to go to my elementary to finish setting up my classroom and thats when it happened. I swear I saw my life pass before my eyes and thought I was a goner. I was waiting at the light for it to turn green on the busiest street in Provo, University AVENUE. It turned green and so I started headed forward when I heard a very loud honking noise and thats when it happened no later than a second I was T-Boned by a large SUV going 60+.

I was hit so hard that I was just tossed around in my car, luckily I was wearing my seat belt because I am pretty sure that was the thing that saved my life. After I was hit my car went spinning and the back drivers side hit into a diesel.
As I hit the diesel I hit my head and shattered my drivers side window.

Thats when I just waited for the next thing to hit, I swear it was never going to end well my brakes wouldn't work and my car wouldn't go into park so before hitting the light pole I pulled my E-Brake and it was over. I probably have never been so scared in my entire life. I just went into shock and then my dad was there just a minuter later. Thank goodness.. I was then taken in an ambulance to the ER where they did cat scans, and x rays but thankfully everything came out positive and I only had bruising and I was just really sore. PROMISE I had angles looking out for me because the police man said that was a fatal accident and he could not believe I did not have one broken bone.
At the hospital my entire family was there to see me and I am so thankful for them, they are just amazing. When I got home from the hospital my phone and Aarons phone did not stop ringing with people calling to check and see if I was alright. I have never felt so loved by everyone in my life. People bringing me flowers and gift baskets, Jamba Juices... It was crazy.
Thank you so much everyone you are all great. I am embarrassed to post these next few pictures they are hideous.. Thank mom for the flowers they are so pretty.

This morning.. well afternoon I woke up with this big flower bouquet and a balloon from my brother Ryan and his wife Mandi and just wanted to tell them thanks also and I love you guys.
Well its all over thank goodness no one was with me.. So no worries, I am just lying in bed recovering and its all gravy baby.

It was so nice cause his mom and brother were in town and they got to come and then his two sisters Amber and Em and her husband Donny. My family was also lucky enough to come mom dad whit and cute little Jackson.It doesnt look like Whit is very happy but promise she is... This is A's birthday barbeque.
