All Done!

I just finished my last final today! I am so excited for a 6 day break before I have to start my math class, which won't be too bad. This semester has been a ton of work and information but I loved learning how to become a better teacher!

My favorite part of the semester was when I got to teach fourth grade for three weeks. The students were so much fn and it made me so esxcited to finally become a teacher. I went and visited my class I taught last week and read the storybooks the children made on the unit my partner and I taught them. We brought rootbeer floats and had a little party. The stories were amazing, way better than what I was expecting. There was one boy who made a really good book and when I told him this, this was his reply, "I am going to have my mom make copies and then I am going to send one to you, and the rest I am going to sell! I am also going to write a book 2 and 3!!!" It was so funny that he thought of that! And he probably will try and have his mom make copies! The class also made us a book mark with pressed flowers and glitter and then they all signed their names on the back. I love it!

As excited as I am to have a break, It is kinda sad to see this semester end. I have made a ton of new friends in my classes this semester and I am going to miss them this summer! But good thing we will all get to see each other in everyone of our classes next semester! I only have two more semesters in school and then my student teaching, I can't believe my college career is going to be over so soon! Another bonus of being done this semester is more time to write in my personal blog!! YAY! No more school blogs!

School and Blogs

I can't even express how crazy school is and how many blogs I have to write for all of my classes! I seriously have 2-5 per week to write and it is driving me crazy!!! I know critical reflection is important but do we really have to write 5 paragraphs after each lesson for every single class!!! So if i don't keep up on this blog- it is because I get so sick of writing blogs for school I don't want to even look at another one! But I still love you all!!!! Thanks for listening to me vent, it was well needed :)

Jazz Game!

For Valentine's Day, I gave Mckell tickets to the Jazz Game. We went Tuesday night when they played Memphis. It was a really good game and we got yummy ice cream! There was also a player on the Memphis team who we think is Paul Gasol's brother Marc, who is just as nasty as his brother and even more spastic!!! We had a ton of fun watching the team and beating Memphis!!!!

Baby Kennedy

One of my best friend, Carolyn, had her baby just over a month ago. Me and Britni went up to visit her in Rexburg a few weeks after she had the cute baby girl Kennedy! She is so adorable and a really good baby! Her name is Kennedy Jane Taylor, which I think is so adorable!

We Love BOWLING!

Mckell and I go bowling a lot, especially with his sister and her husband, Cass and Jord, who got married 2 months before us. It is so much fun and we alsways love hanging out with those two! Here are some pictures from our last trip to the Wilk to go bowling. (After we always play this football game and win tickets to get huge slappy hands and have slappy wars! Another bonus to going to the Wilk:)

McKell's Haircut

So a couple months after we got married, I tried cutting Mckell's hair. I thought I did a great job, especially for my first haircut. Well a little while back Mckell's hair grew into a mullet again and needed to be cut again, but he wouldn't let me help him for some reason... So this is the hair you get when you try to cut it yourself- Another Mullet!

Christmas!

Even though Christmas was FOREVER ago I felt left out with not having a post about Christmas. This year was our very first Christmas together and it was so much fun! We spoiled each other!! McKell got a paintball gun and a lot of new clothes as well as Scene It Seinfeld edition which we played all of Christmas break. I got all new snow gear including a new yellow and zebra helmet, goggles, yellow snow pants, really cute coat, and the best of all.... THE warmest snowboots ever! They are made for -60 degree weather, I don't even have to wear socks (but I do becasue it would be gross if I didn't) We spent alot of our Christmas break snowmobiling and playing Hearts and Farkle which we are all addicted to now. Overall, Christmas and New Years were a blast and I hope there will be more fun to come with this new year!

Bad at Blogging!!

It has been over a month since my last blog! I guess it does have to do with 2 other school blogs taking up all of my blogging time and the tremendous amount of homework I have this semester- well it is probably about average for college but I am used to the easy UVU homework that takes about 3 hours every week, not 3 hours everyday! I just started my elementary education program this semester at UVU and I love my classes, they are just a lot of work but I know they are just preparing me for the amount of work that I will have to do when I am actually teaching. Mckell is staying busy with his job creating Uncle Kenny Cash as a safety incentive for the guys at CCC (Condie Construction Company) and traveling up to Ogden and back once a week. But life is still great!

Merry Christmas!

Cookie Party.... Yummy!

This past weekend, my mom's side of the family had a cookie party where we all brought two dozen of our favorite cookies and the recipes and had a delicious dinner! It was a lot of fun! We all got to take home goodie boxes of everyone's cookies.
