Visiting Grandma in Oregon

My grandparents live in Eastern Oregon. This is actually where I am from and all my relatives live in Oregon besides my parents and my brother. Anyways, we had to take Sister Lou to a doctor in Boise (we'll talk about that later) and my mom to my grandparents house for the remainder of her visit. We had lots of fun. Grandma and Grandpa live about 7 miles from town out in the boonies on a 5 acre lot. Lots of things for the kids to see especially deer and catching butterflies. Yes, butterflies. The little buggers were slow and the kids caught them.

This is a view from our car on the way back to Grandma's after visiting some more relatives.


This is on the furniture store wall downtown. Sorry, the pole is in the way. I love these murals.


This is the backyard view at my grandparents. What a nice view to wake up to!
We went walking up the way to give the kids a chance to let off their steam, I mean energy.
Here is a picture of my son with his great grandpa.
Sister Lou adored him and kept by his side and he didn't mind at all.

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...
