My son was baptized!!! Yay!

It was nice to wake up to a snow covered lawn. A clean slate! That is what Brayden got when he entered the waters of baptism today. It was a truly great experience for him.
My friend makes really awesome cakes and I found something similar (not really similar cuz this one rocks!) on the internet and we (Clay and I) totally KNEW that it was meant for him to make his day extra special. We were so pleased to have a golden plates cake. It was strawberry inside. His favorite flava! Here is a link to the awesome woman that makes them. We will totally do another one for Lyndee's baptism next year.

 Brayden and Lyndee were so excited this morning. This is where I figured that one of my little monsters turned my flash off. It is now all fixed.

This day was a very special occasion for Brayden. We had Clay's mom and aunt, brother and future wife, my sis in law, and all my nieces and nephews come to SUPPORT Brayden. It totally made it extra nice for him. It was very heart felt and it was great to spend time celebrating.

 Right before his baptism! Sorry no picture of Lyndee or me. Just the men today. The talks were fabulous. The first talk was about baptism and the choices that we make. The second talk was on the Holy Ghost. it is important to have a gentle heart to hear the gentle whisperings. Love it! I was great on crying up until confirmation when a member from bishopric asked me to say a few words. I was overcome with so many feelings. The spirit was so strong in the room. I could almost feel Clay's dad presence there as well. I don't get too emotional often. I like to hide....but...baptism and my membership to this church are my prized possessions. Some may not understand and that is okay. These are my feelings and no one can rob me of them.
My two favorite men in the world right now! He did a great job on the baptism and confirmation. Brayden said that the best part was getting baptized. I told him to pay special attention when he was in the water. He said that he saw Jesus. How cool was that!

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...
