Do You Speak Dog?

My little Nina Beans has really come out of her shell... I just got her last July and when I first got her she was pretty timid and withdrawn. But, she has warmed up immensely and has such a freakin cute personality. She seriously talks to me... I tell her I love her.. she barks. If she has to go potty... she barks.. If she wants a hug.. she barks... She has been a fun addition to my home and I wub her.

Baptism of Hope

Charlie got baptized tonight. He has initiated all of this on his own.. called the missionaries, took the lessons, and asked if it was true... His reason for getting baptized is what impressed me... it all happened so fast, and he pointed out how it was fast. He mentioned that he asked for a sign of hope to lead him in the right decision.. he then said that he saw a red robin the next day... and it made him think of the quote "Hope springs eternal from a robin's red breast." He had his answer... this touched me and renewed my hope.. Through all of our mistakes, sadness, or hardships... we must hope for goodness and change. Thanks Charlie for being good to my sister, and for reminding me of my testimony of hope and baptism.

Where Will You Be?

So... I know where I will be November 21st at 9:35 pm with my friend Shell......














Do you know where you will be ???? :>)

SHAPING LIVES

So here is one of my classes... done with all their work so they are coloring. Got this idea from my brother... :>) High school kids love to color.. and I use it as a reward... or if I don't want to teach !! Yah, I do a good job shaping lives and preparing children for the real world. :>)

MY PERSONAL HAIRDRESSER

So my sister is going to school now to be a hairdresser... and I went in last night to do my yearly haircut. I just can't sit there very long and let someone primp me, so I don't go much :>) It was fun and I love it. I got some blonde highlights and a trim. Stace wanted to cut it shorter but I just can't do that. I feel like my long hair makes my fat butt look smaller.. yah I know weird.. :>)

THE LOVE BOARD AGAIN ....

So some more changes to the "Love Board".... read my earlier post to catch up. And now it looks like this... Ha !!

DIXIE HALLOWEENY

Dixie Faculty showing off their costumes... I didn't dress up this year. I only dress up every other year.. this was an off year. :>)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BRIANNIE

My Briannie had a birthday this past weekend !! She is such a good girl, and I am so proud of her... She always brings a smile to my face with that boisterous voice she got from her mother. One of my favorite things about Brianne is her hugs. She is always giving.. and even lets me sleep in her bed when I come see her. I love you baby girl and hope you had a great day..

THE GREATEST THING IN LIFE !!

One of my favorite quotes is from the movie "Moulin Rouge". To be honest it is kinda a fruity movie.. but the colors, music, acting and quotes are awesome. Anyway, the quote is this... "The greatest thing in life is to love.. and be loved in return." I love that because it stems from one of the basic commandments of life... you have to love to be loved !! I thought of that as my board at school has undergone some changes... It started out like this...


My Kels Kels... came and saw me awhile ago and wrote this on my board... Love her... :>) Over time the image on my board changed to this....



Other kids from school came along and added their names.It is good to be loved. It makes me happy and makes my day always.... It is the greatest thing in life !!

NERD DAY

Last week was spirit week at our school. Some teachers dress up some don't... On "Nerd Day" Jackson dressed up in Snow Canyon clothes. It was awesome... Snow Canyon is one of our rival schools here in St. George. So .... Snow Canyon... Nerd... Get it?!! Ha

TIGGER BUNS

Nellybuns came trick or treating at my house on Halloween. She looked sooo cute... the cutest Tigger I have ever seen. I gave her like four handfuls of candy!!

THE DEVIL WENT DOWN AT DIXIE

We had our first playoff game early Halloween afternoon. We have played Springville Devils before and won both times... But this game was a little too close for my comfort !! The boys pulled out at the end by hussling their blue guts.. and the devils went down !!! It was a great halloweeny treat.. :>)

Dallin making the catch... Maxi defending him :>)


Go Big Blue !!!


Love this pic... Mikey scored and celebrated right away.. :>)


Dixie pride is illustrated here... die hard fans doing push-ups for the amount of points the boys have scored so far.


Chunner had a huge tackle... It rocked, he lifted this guy up over his head and flipped him !!
