Minute to Win it

For the last day of school Miss Funk's class and mine joined together to play Minute to Win it.  This was such a fun idea we had to do with our kids.  The kids were chanting so loud for each other and really getting into the activities. I was only able to get a few shots of the kids which doesn't do enough justices. 

Fairy Tale Plays

The Emperor's New Hair

The Little Red  Robin

The Ugly Woodpecker

Slurping Beauty


Towards the last week of school the kids put together a small fractured fairy tale play as groups. The kids did a wonderful job learning their lines and performing well for their peers. It was a fun last week of school.

Sock Day

For the last nine days of school I decided to blow up balloons and put a different activity into each balloon. So we had bubble gum day, move your desk day, write with a  pen, lunch in the classroom, kickball day, movie day, read outside, minute to win it, and of course SOCK DAY!! I bought each kid a pair of socks in which they got to wear  only them in the classroom.  The boys thought they were so cool sliding around the room. I even had some boys wear their socks everyday after that because they loved them so much.

U Swirl

Shopping day with my friend Bridgette Funk.. We went out shopping for mother day gifts as we also pampered ourselves with a free manicure and yogurt stop!!

Katie's Wedding

Today I was able to experience a beautiful sealing ceremony for the first time for my cute cousin  Katie Gallagher's. It was so neat how the ceremony is done and how strong the spirit was felt as the two became one. I am proud of my wonderful cousin and wish her the best!!

Chopped

Paul, Ruth-Anne, Whitney, and Kyler

I came home this weekend to find my roommates Whitney and Ruth Anne having a chopped cook off with Paul and Kyler in our ward. I was even more surprised to find out that I was to be one of the judges. They were to create these foods with four secret ingredients maple syrup, ritz cracker, pineapple,  and bacon. Of course my roommates  are awesome and made an amazing chicken salad appetizer and also a yummy meatballs and rice.  

Drowsy Chaperone

 Tonight I was able to go and see a wonderful play Drowsy Chaperone at the SCERA with the gang. This play was perfect from the cast to the amazing  scenery. I am so grateful to have such a amazing BFC to hook me up with some tickets.

Easter

We gathered as family to have a beautiful picnic and small Easter egg hunt for the kids. I was so excited to see my cute Young family can you tell that Isaac was very excited to see me too and Bella with her bunny ears.

I am grateful to have such wonderful brothers, parents and cousins.

Key West

Today we had the chance to receive a tour of Key West by a native islander named Tommy. He took us out on a boat all day. We were able to see a shark, sting ray, and collect many beautiful shells. 

Fort Lauderdale Temple

Today we met up with the Gallagher family and headed down to Fort Lauderdale Temple for their open house.  It was a beautiful day for another chance to see another home of the Lord. This temple was tall and one leveled which was different, but of course very beautiful. 

Disney World

Today we headed to DISNEY WORLD!! We arrived at 11:00 am and stayed till 11:00 p.m we made sure to get all our money's worth. We were able to ride some great rides and even wait in line for 40 minutes to meet Ariel which was the highlight of my day. 

Captain America

Our first night we saw Captain America and did some shopping at a Mermaid store to buy some Disney gear for the next day. Plus it was raining so it was time well spent.

Florida

Look close to see my pant line :)

This Spring Break I decided to tag along with my aunt and uncle to Florida to see their daughter, Alexa. It was definitely a fabulous week of  food, sun and family. We left Sunday night arriving very early Monday morning so we were all jet lag and slept by the pool while we waited for our room to be available.  However while we were by the pool I was so tired we fell asleep in our pants in which I received a very nice sock tan line. Our hotel was a town house which came with our very own hot tub and very green jungle like backyard.

BFC Spa Day

Today was the first day of Spring Break so Danielle and I schedule a massage at Remedez. It was the most wonderful and relaxing thing I have ever done in my life. I even paid $10 more to get a hot stone massage which was so very needed.  I am totally making this a twice a year activity because it was definitely a bit of heaven. A big thanks to my BFC for buying me this gift. 

OES Faculty

I saw this the other day online, it's been pretty neat to be part of such a great school and team.

Valentine's Day

This Valentine's Day Amanda helped me create a bunch of sayings to be put together with heart pencils. My kids I then gave me so many cute cards and treats, my student  Paige gave me a big basket full of fruits and sayings like " you are the grapest teacher ever", I love this girl so much. I have to say being single and a teacher for any holiday has been the best.
