An Aunt Times Two

Alright so I haven't blogged in ages...for some reason every time I think about it I can't think of anything I'd rather do less. That must mean my life is boring!

A lot has gone on since the last blog. First I have to say GO UTES!!!! Ha ha...you should have known that was coming.

But my favorite happening of the past few months is my new adorable niece. I now have the two cutest nieces ever! MaryJane was born on January 21st, weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz. and was 20.5 inches long. I can't wait til I have two nieces old enough to take shopping with me and do lots of fun stuff with. So as the proud aunt here are some pictures of my newest cutie pie and of course some of my favorite 3 year old!

GO UTES!!!

So here's to all those BYU fans who are so full of themselves and are so rude about it all! GO UTES!!!

Yippee!!!

So as many of you know we were doing a bag drive at my school in October. Wal*Mart gives our school $5 for every garbage bag full of plastic bags...now these aren't small garbage bags these are garbage bags bigger then me. Anyways my class worked their little tails off hauling in bags all month and then spending recesses in fluffing up the bags so that we could get more bags full. Anyways on the 30th we had 33 bags full and the next class behind us had 16 bags...so basically we had it in the bag (no pun intended). Then one of the parents called and made the lady over the whole thing go pick up 26 garbage bags full of bags on the 31st. So we technically lost...except that the contest was supposed to have ended on the 30th and they didn't even haul their bags in. So here my little darlings worked their tails off just to get beat by a class that didn't do anything. In other words I was upset (yes I am a little protective of my little darlings). Anyways today when I got to school they had brought has donuts for the donut party we were supposed to have won. It made the whole thing much better! So congrats to my kidos for all their hard work...they truly earned those donuts and totally deserved them!

Venting!

As you are starting to do your Christmas shopping may I just recommend not buying any Sony products. Don't get me wrong I totally love my cute pink Sony Vaio...but what a pain to try and get the dumb screen that keeps turning red while I'm writing this fixed, even though it is under warranty still. It took me 3 hours on the stupid phone with them and yet they are still going to have my computer for a month and won't even guarantee that it will be fixed at the end of that month. When I first talked to them they told me they would come to my house and fix it just to fax in my receipt...then when I called back they told me to send it to California for a month. They were impossible to try to talk to and get information out of not to mention rude and they couldn't even speak English...seriously annoying! So Sony you just lost a customer.

Field Trip Fun!!!

Last Wednesday our class went to Red Butte Gardens for our field trip. We learned about plants and animals and the plant life cycle. It was a gorgeous day and we had a lot of fun. From playing games on the bus to walking around the garden exploring and playing at the park while we ate lunch...it was a great day! Here's a few pics I snapped of my cutie pie kids!

Bad Omens

So if you know me very well you know I hate the cold. Which means I hate snow and winter. So it's not even the middle of October and I've already woke up two mornings to snow on the ground. I am thinking this is a bad omen of things to come. I am already ready for summer. I'm trying to remind myself of the few good things that winter brings...like hot chocolate (I've had 4 cups in the last two days trying to stay warm), Christmas, Christmas lights, and warm blankets and hoodies. Anyways I'm already wishing for Summer to come fast. So here's my countdown to warm sunny days full of flip flops, shorts, ice cream, and lots of sunshine!
