Teacher in Training

Hey Family! I just wanted to let you know that I have created another blog. In my Technology for Teacher class, we learn about ways we can implement technology in our classrooms to enhance our student's learning and one of our assignments is to create a blog. I wanted to make this blog a good resource for myself as well as for my friends and family. On this blog I will post random classroom assignments, but also I will post some really great resources that could be beneficial at home and with your kids. I will post some great online resources that children and also parents can go online and use. Also I will put on some lesson plans and activities that could be fun to do at home with your kids. I hope that you find this blog helpful and fun! I know I will!

This is the address for my blog:

The Best Job in the World!

I have the best job in the world and I didn't even have to fill out an application! Thank you brothers for finding some amazing girls who graciously agreed to marry you and have the cutest children in the world! I absolutely love being an Aunt!!!!! Being around my nieces and nephew is the the best thing in the world and makes me so incredibly happy! Sweet little phone calls that you can't understand what their saying, but so cute to hear their voice, dressing up like princesses and going to the ball, changing all the stinky diapers cause their dad's don't want to, reading stories at bed time, making cookies together (well, technically making a mess!) watching Kyan break dance, listening to them talk (Header, chiwakas, hey dude, i yuv you, thingers, etc.) getting spit kisses, always getting asked for treats cause they know their mom will say no, pretending to be ballerinas and leaping across the floor, seeing them for the first time and hugging them so tight, teaching them things only aunts get to teach them, and watching them grow. The only part I hate about being an aunt is saying goodbye to them when they have to leave. Thank you my brother's and my sister-in-laws for giving me the best job in the world!

#1 Family!

I don't think many of you know this, but I am the mother for my family home evening group. I have 18 children (not all of them are pictured here) and we have so much fun together. We took this family picture to make Christmas cards for the Bishopric. For one activity we all made shirts that say, "#1 Family" because we're group #1 and then took a picture. We always have a lot of fun together no matter what we do. Also, it is kinda fun being a mom. I'll see my children all over campus and they all shout, "Hey mom!"
