UTAH, THIS IS THE PLACE!!!!

So this week has been nothing but STRESSFUL.. it's been crazy. It was time for my fourth graders to perform the BIG UTAH program we have been working on all year! I was put in charge of teaching my class a Spanish Dance, that was the most stressful thing but it went so good. I wish I was a dance teacher, that would be so much fun... well its never to late.

This was all four fourth grade classes and I would like you to look above on the curtains... Yup, got in charge of that too. below, is my cute class with me right in the middle, aren't they so.. cute, I love them.

This is another picture that I took
and it was sort of blurry...figures.

This is another picture, but the only little guy that was looking
was Brenan, he transfered in during the middle of the year. When
they came to meet with me, me and his mom just started laughing
because she is my second cousin and had no idea that I worked there.

So it turns out that the night went fabulous, my little
kids danced and sang their hearts out.
That night I walked away a very proud teacher.

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

What is this?

So my computer has been broken for the past 2 weeks and I finally have gotten a loner one, you know the one that no body wants, until mine is fixed. So today I finally had a chance to get on my blog. After I looked at my blog I just realized I needed something new because I know.. pulling it up and seeing the same thing time after time after time gets a little boring..So I took some pictures of my class last night at our BIG UTAH 4th grade program which I will post later...
As I was looking at everyone else's blog this thing came up when I went to comment on something.. How annoying. I mean truly do we; just not trust people?.. I mean if this thing comes up before you post a comment Im not sure that it is going to scare off someone to leave a comment.
I dont mean to go off on a tangent I was just wondering where they came up with this???

Presidents Day Weekend

Me and Aaron were able to go down to St. George for Presidents Day Weekend with my family and take our Dirt Bikes.
Aaron, me, Dad, Mom, Whit and Jax

While we were out riding, we found some really sweet jumps and this is my AMMMAzing little sister Whit. She is not afraid of anything its so fun to watch her.

Just taking a short snack brake. It was so nice, it got so warm that day, I think it actually got up to 60. It was the best thing ever, compared to Provo.

My awesome husband, he is also so brave I can't believe some of the things that he was doing. Jumped everything and anything in sight.

Another picture of Aaron.

And last but not least my 50 year old dad acting like a kid again. Can you believe this guy? Who does he think he is? Gotta love him

While we were out, we found some Dinosaur Tracks and Trails. I thought that I had to get a picture of this because I am teaching Dinosaurs and Fossils to my Fourth grade students.

Some of the Trace Fossils. It was so cool to see them.

One of the Cutest Nieces EVER

Happy Birthday Ellie!!!

Me and Whit just hanging out, isn't she so cute?

We looked for a BIG Kitty Cat to get Ellie, she is obsessed with Aaron and my kitty NOLLIE but we found this great big coloring Princess Board and a little stuffed kitty.

Me, Ellie and poor Aaron in his sling (he just had surgery)

McKay and Ellie just gawking at all her presents, poor McKay is a little jealous

Aaron, Ry, Mom, Haley and Ellie

We Love you Ellie

Gotta Love being a Teacher

Okay so I know that I have not posted in so long, I have been major busy and seriously dont have a life!! But the other night we had parent teacher conference and I had two parents actually going at it.. I mean they were swearing at each other and I thought I might be on Jerry Springer, it was so.. funny.
So I am sitting there talking to parents and they just kept talking and talking and... Finally they left, I had this mom come and sit right down. Then another mom comes up with the sign in sheet and she says, "Excuse me, can you tell me who was next?" Well the mom sitting down freaks out because she was still three away. So she gets up walks over to the lady and just gives it to her... Yikes, I just did not know What to do, all I could do what sit there and apologize because I seriously DID NOT know what to do. Finally the mom left and it was sort of little settled down but, Promise PArent TeaCheR ConFereNceS can be SOOOOO SCARY!
Just thought I would give you a little piece of my life .... Fun right?

Christmas in Montana

I know that this post is way to late, seeing that we are now in January but I really needed to post something and so here it is....MERRY CHRISTMAS

We spent Christmas in Montana this year with Aarons family and had so much fun. The day before we left I got my Wisdom Teeth so most of the time we were up there my mouth was just killing me. Come to find out after being up there for 4 days I realized something was wrong and of course, after being so careful, I developed 2 dry sockets. It was horrible....


This is mom, dad and Dust. We just got done playing my very favorite game that we got for Christmas "Ticket to Ride" if you have not played it you need to go and buy it because it is THE greatest game ever.

Okay, in Montana there is really not much to do.. While we were there we played lots and lots of games, as you can see we are playing "Rummikub." We also watched lots and lots of movies which is also very great. Last, but not least we ate lots of food, except for it was sort of hard with my teeth, so I blended up everything I ate. Just kidding, how gross would that be?
This is Donny and Emily, just a really good early morning Christmas Day picture.
