Happy Valentines Day!!!

Remember back in grade school, laboring over which valentine card to give to which classmate? Not wanting any sentiment to be misunderstood. At the same time hoping you gave the right one to that special someone you wanted to notice you? Oh the drama. Then we grow up, and find our special someone, and take goofy pictures together. Happy Valentines day Sweetie, I'm so glad we found each other!

Here We Go!!!

I'm going to try my had at blogging. We have had alot of things going on in our family. I'll do my best to do better. Here are a couple of pictures of the special little people we love. They keep us busy traveling to see them. We love every minute we get to be with them. Being Grandparents is the best!!








Aren't they the most hansome group you've ever seen?!?!!?

COUSINS!!

This post was started last March 2009. Just found it in the drafts and decided to add the picture and publish. "Spring is here and there is no time like the present trying something new!! Last weekend we had a great family get together. We all met in Utah for the blessing of Jen and Mark's new bay, Tyler. It was the first time Charlie and Tyler had met!! We had such a fun time!"

Calling all family members...

Alright everyone, its time to whip this blog into shape! I think we should all make a goal to post something atleast once a month. It could just be a little thought you have, or a funny story to share, it could be ANYTHING! Even just a picture with a caption. But I'm pretty sure we all have something to share! So let's do it!
Are you with me?!

A point of no return...

This is a picture of the hook-closure on the slacks I wore today. I don't think any more explanation is necessary.

I'm basically MacGyver now.

I dress myself using a hair-tie and a paperclip.

Family Picture

Yesterday after the game, we saw Cosmo out in front of the stadium! It was SO exciting -- we just HAD to get a picture with him:) The crowd was going crazy all around him so we had to take a really fast "one-armed" picture - too bad Brian's aim was a bit off...


Isn't that hilarious?! I think this means we won't be able to use this picture for our Christmas card this year...oh well! (Do you like the bag under my eye? Its been a long week at school!)

Here's one for you!

So school starts 2 weeks from today and I decided to go to my school and start organizing, cleaning and setting stuff up. I did not get dressed up for the occasion because I was going to be moving around and working hard so I was wearing jeans and had pulled my hair up in a ponytail. Lo and behold, registration was happening today! Not a big deal, I was not a part of it so I was not worried about how I looked. Well, I left my classroom in search of the secretary with a list of questions to ask her. I went into the main office and swung the door open to find at least a dozen students there helping with registration. I took one step into the room and a girl asked me, "What grade are you in?". I was completely caught off guard and put my hand up and said, "I am a teacher!" I can't even describe the faces I saw but I can tell you about the whispers I heard. From one, "She's a teacher?" Another, "What is she teaching?" And finally, "I heard there are 2 new P.E. teachers this year." I did not know whether to laugh or cringe. School has not even started yet and the students have mistaken me for being one of them. Should I be concerned whether or not they will take me seriously? I don't know. But I do know I will not wear my hair in a ponytail to school and next time I am going to tell them what I am teaching and do some recruiting for my class! =)
