Today Rocked.

It's late. One day I will get enough sleep.

Best thing about today: going to the temple with Reuben followed by wingers.

2nd best thing: being silly with another teacher at faculty meeting. I don't typically like meetings but this one was majorly positive. Some great changes will happen at my school next year!!

3rd best thing that happened today: picking out fabric with Denise(she's making my wedding dress.). We also had a great talk about life and work!

4th best thing that happened today: singing a conversation with a colleague in the hallway.

5th best thing that happened today: getting to sleep.

Good night to ya. (these pics are from today, except the ones of little boys on a trampoline. That was Sunday. Ez's hair was crazy and it is fun to watch the littlest ones jump!)

Viva Las Vegas

This is the post with all the fun Vegas happenings. I hope you enjoy!

That is a lot of pictures. I will go through and write about them in order:
1. New York, New York: It makes me feel like I went there, almost!
2. Windmill at Bellagio. I love the garden there. I think I could live at the Bellagio
3. Kari in our room at the Luxor. The windows are actually part of the pyramid outside. It's angular and cool.
4. Toes at the pool. We spent quite a bit of time just being at the pool. That is my kind of vacation.
5. The strip at night.
6. Alyssa and Rylan. It was so nice to catch up with Alyssa again and to see her cute little family!
7. View of the Sphynx from our window.
8. Me wasting another dollar.
9. Ice cream lunch: This was part of the day where we used a flip of a coin to make our decisions.
10. Garden at Bellagio
11. Kari with a Thunder from Down Under. She was silly and was offered a necklace while in the Excalibur and took it not realizing the next step was for that gorgeous young man to then pose for pics with her. She wanted us to join but I had been there and done that! :) Very funny.
12. Lesley and I at Cheesecake Factory. Great appetizers for dinner. Fried macoroni and cheese balls, boneless wings, sliders, and spinach dip and chips. I think the company was more delicious. I loved catching up with Lesley. She is one of those friends who never changes and it is like you were never apart.
13. Raising Canes. Delicious.
14. Kari with glass at Bellagio
15. Bobble heads at sport bar in NY, NY
16. Me punching bobble head.
17. The fountains at Bellagio. I wish I had one in my front yard!

From the pics you wouldn't know that I also vacationed with Jane and Janette. Kari and I were the lazy vacationers and didn't rush and go and do much. J and J on the other hand did. We did see KA by Cirque de Solei and it was phenominal. Too bad you can't take pics there. It was amazing. Driving was also fun. When you have good company, road trips rock. We stopped at a whole in the wall in Beaver on the way to Vegas and the french toast is yummy. I like those kind of places. It was like walking into the show "Alice." It was very 70s. What else? I think that is it. It was a fun trip. Vacations go too quickly. Good thing there is only about six weeks left until the lovely summer vacation!

Weekend

I have been sick for the weekend. Yesterday, all I did was lounge around in my pajamas. I haven't changed clothes in about 36 hours. I will have to change that in the next hour or so, seeing I will head to Las Vegas with some friends from school. I am still not 100% but I'm getting there. Colds are not my favorite.

Friday, Reuben and I met up with Morgan's family to celebrate Oliver's third birthday. Man, these kids are growing like weeds. It was a blast.

Saturday, Reuben and I went to Thanksgiving Pointe and had a picnic and then watched a movie. It was nice. Of course, anything with Reuben is nice.

Here are some pics and then I gotta go get ready for the party in Vegas!

Pics of the day.

Happy holy Thursday. My lent give ups of no candy toppings on yogurt or caffeine are now gone.

I am getting sick. I do not like it. Better sleep.

My students have some amazing art talent, no?

Cheers.

A blog in three minutes or less

Here is a mini post. It is always late when I write. I always should be sleeping. This is probably why I just skip writing lately.

Today was a good day. The kids were in good moods at school and I was in a good mood too. I had many laughs and good interactions with the kiddos. I wish I could carbon copy days like today. I guess then I wouldn't appreciate them as much. Here is the funniest quote. We're talking about relationships and communication in health class and the writing prompt to start class was this: "Why do people get married and what does it take to have a good marriage?" Kids usually write about sex and I was thinking of a way to steer them clear of that and cleverly lead them right to it by saying: "Your journal today is why do people marry and what is needed for a sexful marriage?" I was highly embarrassed, one of the kids nearly fell off his chair he was laughing so hard, and I am sure I will never live that one down. It is hilarious looking back, though!

Tonight Reuben and I went on a mini hike, ate jimmy johns in rock canyon, went to the batting cages, and ate yogurt. Very nice night.

Monday we watched the NCAA final championship game at my friend, Troy's. His house is amazing. It has a theatre room and a sport memorabilia room. Awesome sauce.

Tuesday I did taxes and laundry. Nice. Last time to file single!

Found a target card with 30 bucks on it. Today is my favorite!

This has really been a five minute post. I forgive me.

Cheers!
