Goodbye ELC!!

Today was my last day at the Early Learning Center Preschool in Corinne. Russ sent me flowers at work- how cute is he?! This year I have come to love the kids and teachers that I work with so I couldn't think about it when I said goodbye or I would have cried... alot! I'm going to a new elementary school next year for more experience but now I am so sad that I'm not going back to the preschool! And I'm so scared to go to a new school were I don't know a single person (again)! I think teaching is a horrible job! You fall in love with new kids every year and then they leave you or you leave them! I love my little kids so much! They always said the funniest things and always made me smile. Here's just a few to make you smile:

*While pretending to type on the computer, 'I'm going to facebook.com'
*During planning time: 'I'm going to be a white bad guy', another child: 'I'm going to be a black bad guy'
* Really trying to give me a compliment: 'I like you a little bit'
*This kid said his /s/ like an /sh/ and the first work I accidentally made him say was 'sit'
* While making leprachan headbands, 'We're like Nephi!'
* Me: what did you build with your legos? Kid: 'The great wall of China'
* 'Computer has the /r/ sound. Wii and nintendo doesn't have the /r/ sound.'
*'My tongue is too tired. I need to go lie down.'

I love Preschool!!!

My 365 kit!

A few months ago my friend at work showed me her 365 kit that she bought on New Years from Creating Keepsakes. It is the most amazing thing ever! It comes with all the scrapbook supplies for you to take a picture every day of the year and scrapbook it. They only made 4,000 of them and it was a big mess and I've been looking on ebay and all over for one. My friend told me today that her friend had an extra one that she would sell me and I got my kit today! I am so excited! I haven't scrapbooked in forever! But this is just different enough and prepared enough that I think I'll like it! Russ and I don't have the most exciting life now to take a picture everyday but one day we will!!

'That wasn't a 'sand'wich that was kitty litter!'

Sorry I haven't posted forever! If I don't take any pictures I feel like I can't post. But don't worry, I'll do a few new posts today!!

Last weekend we were down at Mama Sue's and Russ helped move sand into her new sandbox. He shoveled sand all day! I supervised... :)

P.S.- I know the title of this post is kinda random but it's from one of the greatest movies of all time!

April Fools!

For April Fools day I made Russ some 'special' chocolates! When he popped it in his mouth he was so excited and he chewed and chewed and chewed until he finally got to the COTTON BALL center! HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!!

Happy Birthday Kristen!

All my recent posts make it look like all we do is go out to eat- but really it's just the only time we take pictures and these events were all weeks apart! We went to Goodwood with my familia for Kristen's 19th Birthday!! Then we ate cake in Sue's car! Good times were had by all! I was the photographer so I'm not in the pics but I really was there! (The boys look so happy to be there!)

Jess!!

My sister, Jess, flew in from California for the weekend so we all went out to Texas Roadhouse. It's one of our new favorite restaurants! You have to wait in line for an hour or two but it's usually worth is! Jess got her own picture posted here cause she got cut out of the group shot!

SBO7 Reunion!!

Maddox Steak meal: 13$

Lunch with friends: PRICELESS

Valentine's Adventures!

So, I totally skipped telling you about our Valentine's adventures. I was at a conference down in Provo on Friday so Russ drove up and met me in Salt Lake that night. We went to an Italian Restaurant 'Al Forno's'. It's right next to a tatoo parlor so we were a little hesitant but it was a beautiful YUMMY italian restuarant. Then we were too early to go to our next activity so we went and walked around the gateway for an hour. As we were leaving we realized we didn't have any money to pay for parking so Russ drove around and around while I rummaged through every bag (I had about ten of them in the car: for the conference, for the night before, for that night, for my hair stuff, one with Russ's valentine's presents in it, my purse, etc.!) and I searched all throughout my car and not a dollar! I found 68 cents. So I had Russ stop and I ran up and asked the teller what I should do and he directed me to an ATM. After getting some cash we left the parking garage and the total we owed was $0.00!!! Who knew that when you're there for less than an hour you don't have to pay!? Then I surprised Russ by taking him to 'Romeo and Juliet' at the Pioneer Theatre at the UofU campus. It was a very well done play. We liked it the first three hours. After three hours when they weren't dead yet we decided to leave because it was already eleven o'clock. I know that 's bad manners but three hours of Shakespeare was enought! We hadn't checked into our hotel yet so I started freaking out that they wouldn't let us in... but they did. We stayed at the Peery hotel- it's an old hotel that they've redone. The rooms are small but it was nostalgic and beautiful! We left the next morning in a snow storm (in seperate cars) and barely made it to Kaysville. Later Sue took us the the Draper Temple Open House- BEAUTIFUL temple! Then we had chinese and played TICKET TO RIDE (the greatest game ever!) at Brent and Tristin's house. It was a VERY memorable Valentine's!!! I love my husbando!! :)

SHOCKING!

I don't know about you but I've never been shocked by an outlet before... until two days ago. I was pulling my computer cord out of the surge protector and being the intelligent person I am, wrapped my fingers underneath where the metal is and touched it while it was still plugged in. It surprised me and, of course, shocked me so I fell on the floor and started laughing like crazy! I know... kinda weird response. Anyway, I thought I'd just let you all know how smart I am and that I now know what it feels like to be shocked!!

HANDYMAN

Russ was my little handyman the other day. He put up the mirror in our bathroom (It's just been chillin on our sink for the last six months!) and fix some handles on a cabinet. He was so excited to use the drill that Mama Sue got him for Christmas!
