Rexburg Parade

Before...anxiously awaiting the arrival of the sugar bugs
Cute horses...I loved how they did a huge circle in the intersection..but did not like what they left behind.


Uh....he went off and collected more sugar..


She was getting handfuls of candy at times. Don't ask me why she is only wearing one gardening glove. We just tell people that it is in honor of MJ.


We have never been to this parade, but we will keep the tradition of going each year. I miss these kind of hometown parades. We left at 9:10 and headed up to Rexburg. We parked on the street above Walgreen's and then walked down and sat at the intersection where the parade starts. I loved this spot for the kids. My kids were crazy for candy and even my nephew got a bunch..Brayden was getting alittle worn out and will probably sleep great tonight...The parade...I really enjoyed it.

Lyndee Highlights: I try to keep her grounded and near me but she has a little mind of her own. I swear I do my best...but....She went up to the truck to get a little red frisbee that they were handing out and got caught in the middle of the briefcase dancers. This is the funniest moment...she was chasing the dog (stuffed animal) that was stuck to a guy's pant leg and he was acting like it was biting him...Gotta love her! She ate tons of candy and warm chocolate milk. We went to Gringo's after and she threw up..in cup..no mess there!


Cool fly-bye!

Star wars thing...

Hope you had an awesome 4th.. I love America!

We went to Rexburg also, but we were at the end of the parade by Porter Park. It was fun, but long! I have a grumpy husband when it comes to parades and his parents came with us and they wanted to leave too. Oh well! Glad you guys had a good time!

Do the beginning of the parade next year like we did this year. I think that was the best...We will definitely do that again!

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...
