This is how Spencer Rolls these days.

This is my buddy Spencer. We have always been friends. Well, lately we are mostly friends but sometimes he likes to use me as a punching bag. He is cute so he gets away with it! He was rather funny on Sunday night. He went from cuddle buddy to The Hulk. Hilarious!

His brother Henry also made me laugh when he said: "Alice, thanks for coming. I kind of like you!" I love four year olds.

I also love teenagers. The first day of school went very quickly and smoothly. Only 179 to go!

Off to School

Well, today is the day...the first day of the new school year. It doesn't feel any different than yesterday or the day before but I am still just sitting in my bed. The view from here is often the same as any other day.

I don't feel as prepared as I could be, but I think that is the same way I felt last year at this time and the year before that and the year before that... I am excited to meet my new students today. I hope my PowerPoint works when I get to school and that all goes well.

I am actually pretty excited to get back to my Weight Watchers meeting tonight. Funny how that can be a highlight for me as well.

I better get motivated and dressed. What a day it is going to be.

I thought the photo of my brother from another mother with his new backpack would be appropriate for the first day of school. Doesn't he look ready?

Utah.

Well, I made it back safely to Utah. I was just in time to celebrate Morgan's(sister from my other mother) birthday. Sarah, Morgan and I went to The Olive Garden. We then played ladderball. The kiddos did a good job of being patient while we played so we decided to be nice and let them play a few rounds!

I bought a new Shark steamer. It cleaned my kitchen floor, stove, toothbrush holder, and bathroom sink very well. My house is still not up to my liking in cleanliness(who knew I had a standard, but lots of things about me seem to be different these days.) but in time it will get there. By the way, I LOVE the new little steamer. It rocks!

This weekend Megan came to visit me from down South. I just realized I did not take any pics from our adventures.(except of the walls in the hotel, cool eh? We shopped, ate, met Morgan and Derek and the kids in Provo Canyon for a bit(isn't Oliver adorable?), went to Salt Lake and stayed in a nice hotel, ate, and soon will eat again, then it will be off to Provo again and my Relief Society lesson at church. Nice little weekend.

Oh and I learned which sidewalk users should walk down in Provo Canyon. In case you were wondering! Silly signs make me chuckle!

Better go get ready to face reality. Cheers!

Last few days in WI

I am back in Utah but thought I would put the last few pictures of Wisconsin in here. Monday, Elijah and I helped my dad resurface the driveway. Tuesday, my softball team won both games which helped put us into second place(we were third all season and beat the number one team our first game on Tuesday). Now I am back in Utah and in denial. I have work in the morning and am trying not to think about it! It is hard!

Elijah was pretty funny both at our lunch break on Monday and he was the official filmer if the softball game. He did a good job. I will miss his silliness!

Back to denying reality!

The Packer Game.

>
I went to Green Bay on Saturday with Marla. We went to lunch with two of my awesome Aunts. Then we went to watch the Packer game. It was do cool to be there. I had a blast being in Lambeau Field. So much history! It was a blast even if the Pack lost!

I was also able to have breakfast withy Grandma and other family members. Wish I had taken some pictures there. Oh well!

Good times. It is sad to think that I actually leave tomorrow. Sigh!
