Busy, busy, busy!!!

Just thought I'd do a post since it has been awhile. I have just been so busy. I don't have time for much anymore. Which in a way is good but sometimes I would just like to sit down and watch tv, read a book, and relax. Oh well. I love my job. It is just stressful at times. It's just so much to take on. I'm trying to learn as fast as I can! I just hope it gets a little easier on me. I love the kids and the teaching isn't bad. I kind of enjoy it. The kids are adorable. They want someone to pay attention to them but when you have twelve kids there...it's not that easy. I wish I could have more one on one time with them. But they are good kids and I've learn to love them. Some I have to admit are harder to love then others. Each day I end up taking home many, many, pictures that they color for me! Today I took home seven! I think I'm going to get a folder and put them in it. I don't know what else to do with all the pictures I'm getting!

Well...I hope everyone has a good week. I think I'm ready for bed!!! :)

Last Monday storm and my new job...

Last Monday me, Mom, and Stacy went to the gym to workout. Have I mentioned yet that I joined the gym? I LOVE it!!! I did my free week last week and I joined yesterday. I'm really excited about it. It helps that my whole family goes. If you have fun working out...it seems easier to do.When we left it started snowing pretty heavy. Thankfully we got home before it got to bad. Then we got a bunch of snow dumped on us! I think we got at least a foot!!! So I wandered outside and took a few pictures. They're in the slideshow below:

My job hunting has finally come to an end! It seemed that I have applied at every daycare possible. I had three different interviews at three different day cares. I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do so I told God to decide for me. That might seem kind of strange but I knew He would know what kind of job I needed. Today me, Mom, and Stacy went to the gym. Around 11:00 Sarah called and told me that Harvest Hill Daycare called me back. I was kind of shocked and disappointed at the same time. I was shocked because when I left the interview yesterday I didn't think I would get the job for some reason. Then I was disappointed because I would have preferred to work at a different daycare that I had a interview at. After thinking about it, praying, and talking to my mom and Stacy I decided if when I called back if she offered me the job I would take it. I called back and she asked if I was still interested in the pre-school teaching job. I said yes! She told me I had the job then. I start Monday. My hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 8:00 to 4:30 p.m. On Thursday I work 9 to 5:30 p.m. I'm excited but also kind of nervous. She said she was going to help me this week that way I get the schedule down and get to know the kids. I'll still update one my post but I'm not sure how often I'll be able to do it. With working full time, going to the gym three or four times a week and going to church three times a week...I'm gonna be busy! I am excited though. I just hope everything goes well!!! Pray for me if you think about it!

This is a slideshow Of Grayson. He seems to be the only one I get pictures of lately. Probably because he's living at my house for now. Enjoy and I'll try to get pictures of the other kids, too.

This last slideshow is of the kids in Cubbies. Since I've been home I've been teaching pretty much every week for the Sunday school hour. It's been fun!!! The kids are adorable! I only hope my pre-school kids are as good as they are!

Last week's game and Stacy's birthday...

Just thought I'd do a new post. It's been about a week since my last post. Things are going great. Last Friday we all went to watch Latoya cheer at the game for Calvary. I have to admit I kind of felt weird being there seeing how when I was in college I rarely was able to go to any games. Then it was sad. It made me miss high school. I missed playing volleyball soooo bad. I miss practice, I miss warming up before the game, and how I miss playing volleyball! Winning always made it better and made it a lot more fun! I don't know how to properly express how I feel. As I watched the girls play volleyball I couldn't help but want to go out there and help them!!!
It was really neat to watch Toya cheer. She did a really good job. They all did a good job. There was only four cheerleaders who were allowed to cheer last Friday. The rest of them were benched! They are really cute to watch. Tomorrow is the last real home game so I'll be able to see her cheer again. I do look forward to that. I guess they might have another game but not in the league. So the cheerleaders probably will cheer for that too.
Tomorrow is Stacy's birthday. Or birpday as the twins say!!! :) Tonight me, mom, and Stacy went to the gym to workout. Sarah and John stayed behind and watched the kids. As they did that they made lasagna, garlic bread, and baked a cake for her birthday. When we came in the kids were all hiding under the table and then sang happy birthday to Stacy! It was really cute to see Kelsey and Kaylee peeking out from the table to see if their mom was there yet! By the way if you're reading this Stacy, I wish you a very happy birthday! Hope you have a great one!

Lewiston Mainiac Hockey game:

Last night we went to the Lewiston Mainiac hockey game. A guy in our church got a bunch of free tickets for our church members. My dad wasn't feeling well; so he and my mom didn't go. John, Sarah, and baby Grayson went. Also Doug, Stacy, Latoya, Jordan, Kelsey, Kaylee, and I went. There was quite a few people from our church there. We had pretty good seats. I love going to hockey games. Mostly because I like to see the guys slam each other into the walls. I just do, I'm not sure why? I guess it's funny to me for some reason.

The Mainiacs ended up losing 3-2. I was kind of disappointed. I don't like going to a game and the team I went to see loses. Oh well. We had a lot of fun, that's all that matters.

Tonight there is a home game for Calvary Christian Academy. I'm excited because I will finally get to see Latoya cheer in person. Yesterday, I was cleaning at church and I heard the girls cheerleading. So I went and peaked my head into the gym and I watched Toya cheer for a few minutes. She was so cute!!! The twins love watching Toya cheer. Kelsey and Kaylee were both telling me that they were going to a game and they were gonna watch Toya cheer! :) It should be interesting tonight though. Toya said there was only going to be four girls cheerleading. The rest of the girls are benched for some reason. I told her they better cheer really loud!!! :)

Well... that's about it for now! I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Happy New Year!

Well...it's hard to believe another year has already gone by. The past few weeks have been fun and quite interesting with six people in my parents house! Especially for my parents seeing how they are used to just having the house to themselves. Yesterday was New Year's Eve. Me, Sarah, John, Doug, Latoya, Jordan, Kelsey, and Kaylee all went sledding! Boy was that fun and also a major workout!!! We went sledding at our church. We have a HUGE hill behind the church that is perfect for sledding. In fact I have seen many people use it. Sledding was a lot of fun. The twins were both scared at first seeing how the hill was so BIG! I took Kaylee down first and the whole way down she got snow blown in her face. When we got down to the bottom her face was covered and all you could see were her two little eyes. She was crying needless to say by the time we were at the bottom of the hill. Sarah had taken Kelsey down before me. I didn't know what happened at first but when I got to the top of the hill I asked her and she said the same exact thing happened to Kel. So from then on we took them done without a sled. They loved it! It was fast enough for them and they didn't get snow in their face. The hard part was walking up the huge hill. By the time you got up the hill you were exhausted and then it was time to go down again! We had a blast sledding even though we only went about a hour. We then went to Stacy's and Doug's house and we ate supper. The kids watched t.v after while the adults played games. My mom and Dad left around 8:30 or so because my dad wasn't feeling good...again! :( We played spoons, uno attack, pit, and then we went back to playing spoons. That has become a family favorite in the past few weeks! Before that it was uno attack. The funny thing is about spoons is it has been sitting in my closet for a couple of years! My mom got it for me for Christmas a few years ago but I never opened it for some reason! We played games until around ten and then me, Sarah, John and baby Grayson went home.

As you all know we have been hit with a bunch of snow the past week or so and as I am typing we are getting about a foot or more. I decided to take some pictures of all the snow we've been getting!










Last year was a great year and even though it's hard to believe it's over I'm aslo glad. I look forward to this year. Mostly because I'm going to be home with my family. It has been a lot of fun spending time with my family. I almost forgot how much fun it could be! I look to spending time with my nieces and nephews and watcing baby Grayson grow up. I didn't think that was going to happen and that's one thing I'm very thankful for! It's great having your family so close to you. Not everyone is blessed to see their family all the time like I am!!
