YuP, I HaD a BIrthDay!

Last week, I turned 38. Yes, I am 38 years old and I don't care. I don't act my age. I decided that maybe I should be more young at heart. Anyways.. I still  hate birthdays (only mine of course) but I had spirits lifted when some gals from my church came over to wish me a happy birthday. That was real nice since sometimes I feel so lonely and isolated here in the country...  I don't know why I hate getting older. I think 60 gray hairs popped out of my skull when it was my birthday. I know totally random... I was thinking of doing a top 10 list of things that I like/love/enjoy but since I turned 38, 38 things would be appropriate. Oh, they are not in any specific order.

1. Chips and Salsa (preferably homemade)
2. Sleeping in
3. Kids sleeping in
4. Church songs (not tabernacle stuff but contemporary artists)
5. Ice cold coca cola
6. Fresh rain smell
7. Sunsets with oranges, pinks, and purples
8. Brayden (my best boy)
9. Lyndee (my best girl)
10. Clay (husband)
11. Each of my dogs
12. A good book
13. Roses (I miss my rose garden at my old house. I had 6 different types that bloomed all year long)
14. Rhubarb
15. Huckleberry picking
16. Parades
17. Snow
18. Snow days
19. Sledding with kids
20. Wading in a cold creek
21. The clear starry nights
22. Good friends that cheer me up
23. Girls Night Out...whenever that is.
24. 20 years being LDS (best thing ever to happen to me)
25. Quiet moments
26. Reading the scriptures and enjoying it.
27. June, July, and August
28. Halloween
29. Clean House
30. My parents
31. My brother, sis in law, and nephew
32. Reconnecting with old and new friends on facebook.
33. Technology in my classroom
34. Mexican food (Gecko Grill in Gilbert...still my fave)
35. Cooking
36. Canning
37. Idaho (best decision ever to move here)
38.  Special moments with my kids and husband.

I'm glad you had a nice birthday and I feel your pain with the gray hair. It's no fair! I loved your list.

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...
