HALLOWEEN

We had a fun Halloween this year. We started out trick-or-treating our neighborhood with the Wilson kids. Maya and her little friend Emily Jo are so cute, they held hands the whole time.
Here are Mason and his friend Mel, we had no idea they were both going to be Hulk but it was pretty cute. Both of them refused to wear their masks, I guess they weren't very comfortable.

All the cousins at Grandma's house. Brandon and Kristy were here this year, it was really fun for the kids to get to spend time with Aspen and Jaxon.

First "Loose Tooth"

Mason finally has his first "loose tooth." He's a little confused about what a loose tooth is. He thinks that a loose tooth is a "wiggely tooth," and after it falls out, then it is a "loose tooth."

He's been waiting for this day for a long time. The first thing he said to me on his birthday in July was, "now that I'm 6 I think I'll have a loose tooth today."

He was also very excited about the silver dollar that the Tooth Fairy left under his pillow. I'm starting to wonder if there isn't a little truth to this Tooth Fairy myth, I still don't know where the silver dollar came from...

Yes... I suck at blogging!

To all of you out there who are still faithfully checking my blog, I'm sorry. I just never got around to it during the summer and now that school has started I have NO time. On a typical day I have a list of 10 things that need to get done between work and home and I usually get about 3 of those things done. So blogging just isn't my priority right now =( We had some family pictures taken recently and when I get those pictures I'll put those on for you all to see. I'll try to get the big stuff like Maya's b-day (coming in November) and Christmas, etc. But that's about all I can promise right now. I keep thinking I'll get a handle on working full-time, but it's been 2 months since school started and still don't have it figured out. So I'm starting to realize that this is just how it's going to be until May, sucks!

See you later...

Major Update!

I have been so lazy about blogging lately, but there are a lot of things that have been going on that I want to share, so here it is. Almost a months worth of blogging in one day. Have fun!

School's Out

Well, one more school year has come and gone. This year was my first year teaching at a high school, it was so much fun, I absolutely loved it. The kids were so much fun, and so much easier to deal with than Jr. High kids. Here are some pictures of my classes this year, I only teach part-time so I only have 3 classes, pretty easy huh?

This calss has by far been my favorite class of all-time. We had so much fun together, they were the funnest group of kids I have every worked with. They would sit so quietly and listen to the lesson and take notes. But when the lesson was over we would talk and tell stories and jokes. We would argue about American Idol and talk about other favoriet TV shows, they were so much fun, I'm really going to miss them.

It was raining outside the day I took this picture so they didn't get to go outside like the other classes =(

Yeah! David Cook - American Idol 2008

Yeah!!!! David Cook won! I guess I'm one of the 10 people in Utah who is excited about David Cook winning. Along with my mom, and a couple of kids at school, and I'm sure there are a few more. I couldn't be happier. I liked Archuleta, but I loved Cook! And I was getting a little sick of Archuleta's perdictable performances and his suprised face every time the judges praised him. He was a nice enough kid, and he represented Utah well, but I was always a Cook fan =)

Bye Bye Apple Tree

Kevon cut down our apple tree, I'm ticked! He waited until I was out of the house, then he had a friend come over and the cut all the branches off (the first phase of getting rid of the entire thing). I was pretty upset at first but I'm getting used it now, at least I got this cute picture of my boys in what's left of the tree.
