Gotta love the fall

My beautiful fairy princess


This is my favorite time of the year. I love the colors of Fall. I love seeing the changes from summer greens to vibrant autumn colors of oranges, reds, yellows, and brown. I love the smell of pumpkins and cornstalks. How random!


I love Halloween decorations. I am putting mine out this weekend. I know it is early but hey! I love FALL. I even already bought my kids their costumes. Brayden and his cousin, Tyler are Batman or should I say BatMEN. My beautiful girl is going to be a princess fairy. We were going to have her be Batgirl but she would be too cold in it.

Who is scared of big black bat?

I was thinking about my favorite fall memory. I went back into time.....high school. Remember the dances and the crisp cool air at night. The outside games or bonfire before the game.



Here is one of my favorite fall memories.


Do you remember Sadie Hawkins...where girls ask the guy? My friends, Bobbie, Amber, and I asked our guys and decided to make dinner for them. We (I mean Amber) made chicken fried steak and I can't remember what else we made, and with added touch...fake wine. I brought fake wine (Martinelli's). Amber went Safeway (mind you the only grocer in town where her dad was manager at the time)) bought the real stuff. She thought she bought fake wine. It was strawberry wine by Boone's Hill/Farm. As I was the only non-LDS person there at the time, I told them it was the real stuff having tasted my dad's wine several times and knowing the smell....They did not believe. One of the boys started mixing the fake stuff with the real stuff. They plus me nevertheless drank it. Let's just say we were a little buzzed for Sadie Hawkins.



What is your favorite fall memory?

Busy week

Sorry no pictures. I have been so busy this week to a point where I am sure to have a nervous breakdown. First, I have a student teacher in my room over the next 10 weeks. I thought it would be a welcome relief to give her things to teach but I am more exhausted and it is tiring work. Then grades had to be put in and it was down over the Christmas break so I had a huge pile to get in. Parent teacher conferences were on Thursday. I didn't meet with alot. I met with most of my students'  parents. The one that I wanted to talk to of course didn't show. My own children are doing great in class. Brayden is started to read more and more each day. He is reading near the end of his grade level. Lyndee knows all of her alphabet and sounds. They finally let her check out a library book. Yippee! Sometimes I wish that they would treat Kindergarten with more rigor toward the middle of the year to get them ready for first. Just my opinion. My house is feeling very neglected and wil...

Day 5 -- Vacation

On Wednesday, our last day in the land of the heat. We went to the Mesa Southwest Museum. I guess it is call the Museum of Natural History. In all my years living in the valley and in Eagar, we never went to this museum. It rocked! I wished that I could take my students there. This room was all black with flourescent lighting. The kids could write on those white board with light wands. Whatever the kids wrote would be gone in about 20-30 seconds. It was pretty cool. I loved the interactive the stuff. I have been wanting to do this for years with my classroom. I have wanted them to create their plays. Then act them out in front of a green screen and then use a computer program to put their scenery in. I think I am going to find a grant and write one! Sister Lou loved being on T.V. We would couldn't drag this little starlet off it. Isn't this cute? They got behind the TV and now they are projected into an old western. They had a part of the old territorial prison in th...
