I finally Graduated!!!!!

It is official as of August 6th 2010, I am a college graduate. I'm so excited, I will have a degree in Early Childhood education and I already have a job, I'll be teaching 1st grade at Lewiston Elementary in Cache County, Utah. I'm super excited and a little nervous also.
Most of my summer and this past year has been spent studying and working as usual, but I'm finally done with that and can finally focus on setting up my classroom. I have three weeks until I will be teaching my darling little first graders.

Long long time

Okay so it has been a really long time since I updated my blog, but I haven't had a lot to post. After taking a summer off I started back at Utah State. I'm doing my Level 3 in the early childhood education program which means I had 9 weeks of classes and I'm at the tail end of my 9 weeks in my practicum. I have been helping out in a First grade classroom and it has been a great learning experience for me. I have a great cooperating teacher that has given me many opportunities to teach and take over the class. I have really enjoyed this time I have had to be with these cute little first graders and though I'm still shooting for teaching Kindergarten or Preschool I am going to miss these cute kids and I have enjoyed being in the first grade classroom.
I will be done with my practicum on December 11 and get to have a pretty good Christmas break then it will be onto my student teaching and hopefully I'll be able to graduate in May.
That is pretty much the update here, I'm still working as the director of the day care at the Sports Academy and loving it there also, though I haven't been around too much and I am sure missing all the darling little kids that come there.
I hope all my friends are doing well and that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

Summer fun at Lagoon

My brother Darren's work always does a Lagoon day each summer and he is always so sweet to let me tag alaong. This year Bre and her kids came and it was so fun. My nieces and nephew Kylee, Kenley, Berkly, and Braxton all hung out togther and usually I hang out with them and go on all the rides with them but I had just got back early that morning from my trip to Yosemite so I wasn't feeling so well from lack of sleep, so I just watched them ride the rides in the rain. Bre and Steve and Daxton and Corban hung out with my Brother and Sister-in-law and my niece and nephew Boston and macy. It rained like crazy and it was so cold but the kids didn't seem to mind one bit.

We decided to do the bounceback a week later since we were so wet and cold most of the time. Unfortunetly most of the kids were so busy with other things so the older kids didn't get to come but we got to take Bailey, Braxton, and Berkley and my good friend Kydee came with Bre and her family and the rest of us. It was so warm and so much fun, I did realize that I wasn't just tired on my last trip to Lagoon, unfortunetly I think I may be getting to old for rides because after the fourth ride which was the collases I was so sick I couldn't do anymore the rest of the day but it was still a blast. Berkley, Braxton and Bailey are my Hero's because they did the sky coaster and that was way fun to watch the three of them lean on each other's bravery and ride it and they had a blast and it was really fun to watch them.

 

Yosemite National Park

I just got back from an amazing vacation to Yosemite National Park. I went with my dad, stepmom, and my half brother and sister. We left Saturday morning the 13th of June and got back at 7:30am after driving all day and night on June 20th.

On Wednesday my oldest Brother Rhett and his family joined us for the rest of the week.

My Brother, his wife, and their oldest two boys along with my dad and brother hiked Half Dome on Thursday (an 18mile hike) so while they were spending the day hiking I got to spend the day with their youngest two and my sister and step mom hanging out at the hotel pool and also certifying them as "Junior Rangers". It was a ton of fun and after seeing them all return from the hike sore and way tired I wasn't too sad I missed out on the hike. The following slide show is after my brother and his family showed up and most of them are taken while I was with the younger two and the others were hiking.

My 28th Birthday

So I just had a birthday and well, most of you know I'm not big on birthdays and I don't do much to celebrate them especially my own. Thanks goodness I have a sister who loves to celebrate. My sister and her cute kids and I went to the fun park to celebrate. Daxton kept on insisting that I wanted to go bowling and play lazer tag for my birthday. I didn't really care what I did as long as I got to play with them it didn't matter and especially cause I wasn't at work; even though they threw a pretty awesome party for me there as well. Anyway we went bowling and played lazer tag and some video games and it was a blast.



My way cute Friend Kydee came along with us. It was fun having her there though I'm pretty sure she didn't know what she was getting herself into when she agreed to come cause she was then stuck with us the rest of the night. After hanging out at the fun park for a couple of hours we met up with my mom at the Olive Garden for dinner and that was a ton of fun and it was good food as always. They had them sing to me and bring us these new delicious doughnuts they have with chocolate sauce can I say Fattening but worth it.
It was a great day and I want to thank everyone for making it so great I really appreciated it. Kids Klub girls you were great thanks for the gifts and the decorations and the party I really had fun even though I wasn't there very long I really enjoyed it and appreciate all your hard work I love ya tons.
I love ya Bre and Kydee and my cute little nephews and niece for a fun day as well and making it memorable.

These last set of pictures are of me and my sister, we get a little silly when we get together and sometimes out of control but that's why I love her.

Wow, Can you believe it I'm finally updating my blog, and well its still going to be behind. For spring break my Friends Kydee and Ashlee and I headed to vegas for a couple of days. And well, I would like to say it was a total blast but it really wasn't. It was fun to get away but I would have rather stuck to the original plan of heading to Zion National Park. Maybe next time I'll remember Vegas isn't so great. It was fun to spend time with my friends and take time off of work and school though. Thanks Jennie for letting us crash at your house and thanks Uncle Kelly and Aunt Mary Ann for feeding us.

Baby Brielle is finally here

Okay, I know I'm way past due on a new post but I haven't had anything really fun to post until now. Anyway, as many of you know Bre finally had her baby, a really cute and beautiful little girl born January 9th. He name is Brielle Brooke Boren she was 7 pounds 8ounces and she is the cutest bundle of joy ever.
