LyNdEe TuRNs 8!

New Year's Eve was Lyndee's 8th birthday. I can believe how time is flying. She is getting older as I am getting older too. Makes me sad! For Lyndee's special day, she chose her favorites for dinner. She wanted just top ramen noodles. Not sure why but she loves them! I also made homemade chicken nuggets. My kids were quite impressed. Clay had three helpings of them. We even had them for leftovers for lunch the next day.

 
Lyndee's cake was triple chocolate fudge with a chocolate marshmallow frosting. As I was frosting it, she mentioned to me in passing that I could draw a cat in the frosting. So I did...just for my girl. Did I tell you that right now she is obsessed with cats. She loves our cat we got this summer and tries to hold it and love on it anytime she gets. 

 Lyndee is an extremely picky eater.  I think it has to do with textures as well. But..she gobbled down all her food tonight.
 Take two: the first shot of her blowing the candles out was blurry. I made her pose like that so we could get a wonderful shot. I sure hope that she made a wish or two.
 First gift, jewelry for her baptism. However, it was all white jewelry and she picked out the dress below for her baptism. I have asked her many times if she would like to get a white dress instead and she insists on the dress below. It doesn't matter to me because her baptism is NOT about the dress. It is about the promises she makes.
 Her very first set of scriptures...Can't you tell how excited she is! I think it has to do with her knowing what some of these presents were.

 Notice the cat stuff below. Lyndee just soaked it up!

 Next stop: Baptism on Saturday.

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...
