Life as I know it....

So, I have had a lot of craziness the past month or so. I finished up school, went to Oregon for the fourth, went to Utah for my nephew's baptism, and have been packing and in the midst of moving.....so much fun....thought I would share with you a few pictures :)


At J.V.'s baptism, my nephew, doesn't he look so handsome??? Lucas, my nephew, and I, this is in Utah of the same weekend. We were trying to keep him out of Amber's family picture with grandma, and I ended up with a picture of him!
My new nephew, Spencer, and I. When we went to my cousins wedding, one of my other cousins was walking around with this tiny baby. I was thinking, well that is a cute little baby! Come to find out it was my new nephew :)

These are my other super cute nephews all together at my cousins wedding, making mischief and playing in the water...

My brother Alan and sister Amber at the wedding, along with Mike and Isabel.Fourth of July FIREWORKS!!!!! OK, so I had so much fun over the fourth of July and Isabel was super cute... I thought that this was cute with Isabel.

Another of our whole group, minus dad, at the fireworks.
We were in the bird atrium at the Zoo, she looks half scared, half interested...hahaha...I like this picture:)

Have YOU Heard of This Movie??

So, I just have to say that I am way excited about this movie. I really love the book and I am excited to know what they are going to do with the movie. This trailer makes it look as if it will be a very good movie....

Rain, Rain, and Thunderstorm...

Let's just say that I love thunderstorms...This last month we have been getting an absolute ton of rain storms, although the weather has decided to be sunny now...I love rain. I know that it has something about growing up in Oregon sunshine. I have decided that extreme rain coming down plus thunder and lightening is my new favorite, it's true... I would go out on my porch all the time and watch the extreme rain and feel the thunder and lightening. Yes, thunder and lightening and rain, I love you :)

Complete and Utter Excitement...

Can I just say that I am so excited for this?? Yes, I do have midnight showing tickets, and I will be seeing it soon!! Two weeks from tonight :)

Catching Up

Yes, it's true....I am a terrible person the last few months at the updating of the blog:)
I have been busy in my LAST semester of college! Can you believe that I will be graduating in three weeks??? I know that I can't:) I will miss all of the good times here at BYU-I, but I am also excited to move on from my classes.
This semester, my practicum placement was in a developmental kindergarten class. I was really nervous about it, and I was scared that I would have no idea what in the world I was doing. But, it turned out to be an amazing experience. My students were so cute and they were so smart! I don't think I ever realized how much kindergarteners really know about the world...
Anyways, after that was over, I was put into a summer school kindergarten classroom where I was able to work with hispanic students who had very limited English. It was really an eye opener on how to help students who are not at grade level or are not understanding what is taught in the classroom. I really loved both experiences and I think that they both helped me to understand more about my abilities.
Now, I am done with practicum and summer school and am sitting around in all this extra time that I now have, wondering what to do with myself:) I am trying to be productive, let's see how well that has gone...
