Primary program was today



Today was Brayden and Lyndee's first primary program. Last year, I admit that we stayed home due to the fact that Brayden was known for tantrums and did not like his sunbeam class as we were new to the ward and still adjusting to our life in Idaho.

This year was supposed to be different as Lyndee would be up there as a sunbeam and Brayden a CTR 5. We went to the practice and even endured practicing the songs with the kids in the van. The kids were so excited about being "higher" up than us in the chapel. We went into the chapel and even sat closer to the front (on the soft seats) as we always hide in the back so we can't be heard. Then as sacrament was passed and the little ones were called up, my little ones went so eagarly. I was elated!

Then the extremely loud crying began. I thought to myself...please do not let it be. It was.. I was so disappointed in her. I snatched her up and brought her back to sit with us with Brayden following. She calmed down after like 20 seconds and then they both went back up with smiles. Then the ear piercing crying began again.

I grabbed my crying child with the whole congregration staring. Thankfully, Brayden stayed up there with his class and sang beautifully. Lyndee, however, stayed with me for the entire program. Maybe next year will be different.........I just know it!

It was our Primary program today too. I am glad you found me on here. I do have a memory of you, once I went over to your house and you had a big bassett hound and you put a feather in his collar and said he could fly!

Hi Angela!! I'm so glad you found me- I've actually been wondering about you lately. They are doing some remodeling on the house you lived in so I think of you every morning I take my kids to school! Your little kids are beautiful and I'm glad you are doing so well. And I bet most of the congregation got a big kick out of your little girl today. Something to remember and tease her about when she's a teenager! Take care- glad we'll be able to keep in touch now!

Hey Angela, glad to connect! Your kids are beautiful! And good taste on the name Braden (however it's spelled!). Hey, I'm confused. I don't remember you being a member in high school. Do I have a bogus memory or when did you join the church? Hope all is well in Idaho!

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...
