My new cute bags!!!
I am very blessed this year to have very involved parents in my class. I have a few moms who volunteer once a week and it is such a great help. I also have mom's who are supportive and it makes such a big difference. My little Madison's mom is super sweet and even offered to make me a cute purse...she ended up making me a purse with a matching bag that I use as my teacher bag now. If you know me you know my colors are black and pink so of course they're adorable and black and pink...plus I'm obsessed with everything matching...so having a matching purse and teacher bag is awesome! They are super cute and I love all the compliments I get on them! !

Disney on Ice
So I've decided that I need to start a new tradition. I will hopefully be moving out soon and so I probably won't be seeing my nieces as much as I do now with them living across the street from me. So I decided I need to do date nights with them every once in a while. We had our first official Kenzie Ally date night last week. MaryJane is still a little young for them at 2 months but her day will come.
I bought Disney on Ice tickets and took her. The week before I told her about it and gave her a Minnie and Daisy shirt to wear when we went. She was so excited and talked about it non stop for a week every time I saw her. We both wore our Minnie ears from the last time we went and we headed off to the Arena. She was so excited that the whole drive she talked a mile a minute asking if we were at Disney on Ice yet.
She was glued to the show the whole time and loved it. They had Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, and Donald and they were going on trips to the four different shows. The first one was Little Mermaid which Ally loves. Then they did Lilo and Stitch, she doesn't know this one very well and it wasn't as exciting but the music was fun so we were grooving to it in our chairs. Next was Peter Pan which she loved with TinkerBell, the crocodile (I said look it's an alligator and she yelled I'm an Alligator too because I call her my Ally Gator), and Wendy and her brothers flying. Then Lion King which was also a lot of fun.
Our favorite parts were when Wendy and her brothers flew and of course when the big crocodile came out and ate Captain Hook.
Afterwards of course they have tons of overpriced stuff to buy. She wanted a stuffed flounder but it was way overpriced so I talked her into getting ice cream instead. We were just about to the door to leave when she turned to me and said, "Kenzie I have a credit card in my purse that I can buy a Flounder with" I laughed and talked her into just ice cream again.
We stopped and got ice cream on our way home and even got some for Grandpa and Grandma then we went home and had a sleep over! It was a ton of fun and I cant wait for our next Kenzie Ally date night!

This ones for my students!!!
This year has been a tough year in school. I have a large group of my kids this year that are exceptionally hard and I have so many behavior problems that I sometimes question what I'm doing there and I just want to scream. I am completely exhausted all the time and wouldn't function without my Diet Coke. I know I complain a lot but I really do love them and I love my job.
Today as I was walking them out I had an ah ha moment and realized how much each of them means to me and how much I'm going to miss them in a few more months. They are mine even with their problems and I wouldn't trade them (well maybe a few of them). I have the cutest and sweetest girls who are so willing to help. My little Kimi, Madison, Lynzee, and Keisha are the 4 sweetest girls ever and always make me smile. Kimi and Madison always hide and come back for an extra hug at the end of the day and then try to make my hand numb with high fives. Then there's my Brianna who draws me a picture almost daily of me in the exact outfit I'm wearing that day. Then I have my boys Blaze, Darin, and Bridger who give me constant hugs and won't let go at the end of the day. My Ryan who always picks BYU as the magic word for the day when it's his turn because he knows I hate even saying it. My little Tanner who tries harder then anyone I know. My Kyle who tells me at least 2 or 3 times daily that I'm the best teacher ever. My Cayden who just has a way of making me laugh. My Maddie who wants to share every detail of her life with me.
So just so everybody knows I love them to death despite the complaining and they mean the world to me!

Winter blahs!
So I hate Winter...big time. I get really depressed and kind of mean this time of year. So I have to find things to look forward to and count down to in order to stay happy so here are a few things to keep me going.
1. Spring is in 32 days! March 20th
2. Fablehaven book 4 comes out in 35 days! March 24th
3. There are 74 days of school left until summer vacation!
4. Spring break is in 46 days and I'm off to Boston and New York! April 4th
So here are my countdowns to those 4 days and maybe somehow they will get me through this cold weather and snowy days without wanting to hurl myself off a cliff!

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!
