Crazy Preschool!

Holey Moley!! Time is flying by. It has been almost a month since I last wrote on here. A lot I guess has happened since then. Preschool is going pretty good I suppose. I won't lie about it. It's a little rough for me. It is quite a bit different than what I am used to at Small Wonder. I have learned to really appreciate Small Wonder and the wonderful effort that Patty has put into the program. That is where I have learned basically almost everything that I know. I have team taught twice now. The first lesson was on cows, and I just taught on chickens on Monday the 23rd. I don't care if I am from Montana, I am so sick of farm animals. We just finished that theme at Small Wonder in March and I come to school and for preschool here we start farm animals. Thank goodness we get to pick our topics now. I won't complain though that I got to play in the mud! I loved that myself. :) I am finishing up my  next two lessons now. They are both on spiders. We have a pet tarantula in our room named Webby. The kids love him! Well..we don't know if it is a girl or a boy we just always usually say he or him. haha. I will be glad when my teaching is over and well the whole thing too. ha!
I had the opportunity to go home last weekend of the 21st and I got to see a little bit of Ethan play in his tennis divisional tournament. HE WON DIVISIONALS!!!!!! I was sad to miss him play in the championship but happy that I got to see a little bit, I don't really get to since I have been at school for every season.
I also went home that weekend because for work our staff appreciation dinner was on our dinner train, Charlie Russell Choo Choo. I had a lot of fun on that!! It was a mexican themed dinner. I enjoyed being with everyone that I work with again. Patty, my boss told me that it has been too long already, even though it has only been a little over a month. I am so grateful for the opportunity that I have to work there and be a part of that.
School is going pretty good right now. It is flying by so fast. It is almost June and I feel like I just got here. It can't be midterm next week!! Crazy stuff!! I love it here so much! My classes are great. I am learning a lot from..like..when we practice our circle times in class it is the only time we can call our teacher Mike not Brother Godfrey, and that he throws frog toys at me or plays with my hair..or I can take other people toys. I think I enjoyed that part of class a little too much. I am taking a religion class just for fun called Doctrines of the Gospel and I love it! It is only twice a week. I have learned so much from that class. Our teacher said he was going to be gone for a couple classes and so they will be canceled, I think that was one of the only few times I said to myself 'no I want there to be class!' Now if I say that that must mean something! haha.
Well..it has been a lot of fun and pranking thing semester. My roommate and I just might be prank queens by the end of this semester! We have pranked our FHE brothers a couple times this semester already. My favorite is that we taped a music chip from the music cards to their door so that it would play whenever they opened their door. Now we are just hoping that they will prank back and turn it into a prank war..I know we may be a little wierd. :)
All is great, enjoying life, friends, and wonderful experiences!! :)

ING Words..Concerting, Shopping, Calling!!!!!

               This past weekend I went to a Beatles concert!!!!!! Now you may be wondering how this is because the Beatles are no longer with us..well two of them. There is a groupd called 1964 the Beatle Tribute. Let me tell you it was AMAZING!!!! I think I discovered from that concert that I really like Ringo!! haha. After the concert Paige, I went with Paige to the concert, went to one of our friends apartments and watched Batman Begins with them, oh, after we went and got Jamba Juice! Let me just say, Dan sure knows his movies!!
            On saturday I drove to my friend Paige's house so we could go shopping in Idaho Falls! That was a lot of fun too! I love Paige. We went to the mall, saw a slightly creepy man, ate some delicious free smoothie sample, and subway, along with a little bit of shopping there. It was some great times!
            Sunday I got a calling! Guess what it is................................well if you guessed Sunday School Instructor you would be correct! I am excited for this calling and looking forward to teaching and learning from others. I actually taught sunday school on sunday and the sunday before that too before I even was extended the calling. I was called that Sunday morning to meet with a member of the bishopric, I won't lie I was kind of expecting it. :)
            We got our FHE groups last monday, but had our first official FHE with them just yesterday. We have a great group of people. We are looking forward to having a lot of fun with them this semester.
Peace!

Yay School??

             The first week of school is now complete! Well, almost first whole week minus one day. haha. I think this semester will be a good but busy one! I am excited to see what a new semester will bring for me. I am in the same ward as I have always been. I just love it too much to leave. haha. We had the beginning of the semester fireside last night with our stake presidency. We got a new stake presidency last semster when I was not here. I am looking forward to seeing what they will bring to the stake. Last night they told us that our goal for the stake is to "Come Unto Christ." What a great goal. Our stake president is a religion teacher and he has so much energy. The second counselor is a girl on the jump rope teams dad. That was exciting.

I had a great birthday last Sunday. Thank you to all of you are wished me a happy birthday.

Easter was good too. I won't lie it was way different not having Easter with my family. It was the first time that I had not been with them, so it was a new experience. Kaite and I, well it was mostly Katie, I just sort of helped make dinner yesterday for some of our friends. It was a VERY entertaining dinner. Who knew how hilarious four boys could be over dinner? We sure found out. haha. It was great though!
Peace!

Finally..

Tonight I finally started packing for school. I am going to leave on saturday to head back for spring semester. I'm a little excited, anxious, and nervous about this semester, but I'm sure that it will be a good one! It has been one crazy week! It is also WEEK OF THE YOUNG CHILD!!!!!!!! Oh goodness, this is a super fun week. A wicked busy one, but fun also! We have so many cool activities planned for the children and their families and ways the community can be involved. Look for cute people and handprints around town if you can. :) I just love this week. We had a carnival today for the kids. They all had a blast. Shandi and I and Wendy basically manned the whole thing. Let me tell you it can get crazy! I enjoyed it though. Tomorrow morning we have breakfast for the children and their families. I'm excited for that. It is way good. What a great week to end at work! I will miss it as always and will be back in there in July! :)

Slumber Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night for work we had our slumber party for the kids! Well, we say for the kids but at the same time its for the staff also. :) It was lots of fun! We had pizza, ice cream sundaes, yes, that was fun, I came out with whipped cream, ice cream, and sprinkles in my hair! Let's just say that some of the staff had a little too much fun during the sundaes. :) We then played hide and seek in the dark with the kids. They all loved that! Oh we must not forget the lovely pillow fight! I think the teachers might find more joy in the pillow fight then the children. I kept being told before the fight to beware because I was going to get beat up by some of the children. I then insisted with one of them that I had more on my side then theirs..was I right..not to brag but yes, yes I did!! :) To finish the night we watch Toy Story 3 and the teachers ate chocolate! haha. It was one long, fun, awesome night!

Great Weekend

Conference was amazing this weekend!!! I love that we get the opportunity to listen and hear from our Prophet and Apostles every six months. I really liked Elder Scotts talk. It was good. They all were good. Let's just say that I'm excited to read them in the May Ensign! I always look forward to getting the conference issue of the ensign. Oh after the first session of conference today my mom's side of the family did like a group skype thing to catch up with each other and to see and hear how everyone is doing. It was pretty cool to see them since it has been like 7 or more years since I have seen some of them.
I made Eryn's birthday present this weekend while listening to conference..I hope she likes it..she should danget. haha. Just kidding.
On Friday night I went with Shandi from work and her family to go see the movie Hop. It was so good. I laughed pretty hard! I really liked it and would recommend seeing it. Now, I want to see Gnomeo and Juliet so if anyone has seen let me know what you thought of it. It was overall a pretty good weekend!
Peace!

Its New!!!

So, I thought that it was time for me to start my own blog, so here it is. I don't really know how to work this just yet so bare with me. There will most likely be lots of different changes while I'm trying to figure out just how I want it to look. I hope all is doing great! I'm excited for General Conference this weekend and that it is now April!!!
Peace!! :)
