Summit Academy's First Football Game!

This past weekend we drove down to Salt Lake to watch Summits first ever football game! This year they are ranked as a 1A school for football. The team they played was Millford High which is 3 hours southwest of Salt Lake, the town is very small and they only have one restaurant which was Subway. It was such a cute little town, you could tell the recession hit them pretty hard but those boys were so excited to be playing! So to start the game there were some pretty dark clouds over head and then it decided to pour right when the cheerleaders went out to the middle of the field for the national anthem. Linda was smart enough to bring an umbrella, she got it out and we thought it should blow over soon but it just kept raining harder, all we could do was just laugh! Then the lightening came and they delayed the game, Linda and I ran to our car and on the way we got even more soaked! It was so funny.....mostly because we were so unprepared. It was a great first memory of Summit football!!! Summit won the game and it was awesome!! I can't wait to go to more games this season!! Way to go Bears!

Oh I almost forgot on the way down we stopped in Beaver at the cheese factory outlet and got squeaky cheese it was amazing!!!

Exciting Stuff!

Wow I really am terrible at this blog thing....I am going to make it a goal to post at least 2 times a month.

So some really exciting things have happened here lately. First we will do a little recap of what has happened.

We went to Orlando in April and it was so FUN! It was a great little get away, and it was fun to spend some time with Zac's family! Then it was also my birthday and it was pretty low key we just went out to dinner and hung around home! Zac got me some sweet new kicks as well as some new GOLF Clubs! I will put a picture up on my next post....promise! 

In May I started my Get Golf Ready golf lessons that i teach with my friend Kelly and they were so much fun! We just finished our first ladies session and now we are on our second ladies sessions and our first Juniors lessons! I am loving it and learning so much! I also wrapped up the school year with my Title I and ERI job and it was exciting but sad at the same time, I am going to miss working with those kiddos every day! Oh I also had a job interview with Summit Academy and they offered me an assist teaching position which was awesome! 

Okay ready for the most exciting part of this post! I was offered a full time teaching position with Star Elementary and I will be teaching 4th grade! I am SO SO excited, I did my first semester of student teaching in 4th grade and LOVED working with my mentor and now we get to be teaching colleagues and I am way excited!! When I found out I had to immediately go out and do a little shopping! 

Anyways we are getting the car all packed to head down to the OC to spend sometime with Zac's family and I promise when I get back I will post a lot of pictures of the last few months! 

Love love

Where has March gone....

Wow I have been really bad at this whole blog thing....so let me back track a little on what has happened since the last post we have celebrated 3 birthdays in the family and 1 anniversary and they all occurred  a week.....first up was my little brother Ben, he turned the BIG 21!! Oh and he survived Vegas! Next up was my parent's 26th wedding anniversary, Love you Mom and Dad you guys are an amazing example! Then Granny had her birthday! I was very sad I didn't get to go to her birthday brunch but from what I hear it was very nice, Happy Birthday Granny!!! I love you so much! Then finally to wrap up the crazy week was my Dad's birthday, we had a nice little evening at home and ate way to much lasagna, pie and cookies.

So you may ask what has been keeping me busy right....well teaching for one thing has me really busy I am always trying to find new ways I can help my little kiddos on their reading skills and I absolutely LOVE it! Another thing is the golf course is back up and running and this year I am a teaching professional so every chance I get I am at the course either practicing, helping give a lesson, or watching my mentors give lessons! I am so excited about it! 

OH AND HOW COULD I NOT SAY ANYTHING I AM LEAVING FOR FLORIDA IN 1 WEEK!!!! I am so STOKED if you could not tell hehe. Until next time.

Date Night

So the other night we had a little date night but we didn't go out we stayed home and just enjoyed each other and it was so much fun! First we started off with making our dinner....pizza...he made the pizza perfectly round and I grated the cheese and then he finished it with his magic touch. While we were waiting for it to be done we just sat and caught up with each other about life and work. 

Then when the pizza was done we ate it in bed and watched Dexter. It was so simple yet it was perfect. 

Love Love

Crazy Last Few Weeks

Wow things around here got super crazy and I am finally making the time to sit down and write a little blog post so here goes.

In the past few weeks I took on a position at Star as a Title I Kindergarten teacher and and ERI for 1st-3rd grades and I absolutely love it!!! At first I was thinking that it was only going to be until April a few times a week but it turns out I will be there full time from now until mid May! This was a huge blessing and we are so thankful that I am able to partake in this experience. Oh and I will also be at the golf course again and I am so excited!!

I also took my middle school mathematics praxis test, if I pass this test then I will have an endorsement in Math and that makes me really excited so keep your fingers crossed....I will find out in about 3 weeks how I did!

Oh and my Mom and Dad are amazing.....they got me this little beauty for graduation...

I love it and I am so excited to have my own...the best part is it came with a few classes to teach me how to use it as well as a couple fun quilting projects! I will let you know how they turn out.

With my new found love....has come some very much needed craft time...I made my friend a tutu for her little girl who will arrive soon....okay so I didn't use my sewing machine for this but it got my creative juices going so we are going to let it count ;) anyways I had a fun day with my friend Bri last week and she was the one who helped me think of the tutu idea thanks Bri!

After I made the tutu I just craved to go back to the craft store and I finally finished my one wall....remember this one....

Now it looks like this and I absolutly love it!

With that trip to the craft store I also got a ton of cute fabric so that I can make a purse and a calendar quilt for February. I will post pictures soon!!

Oh and the best news of all I got this little puppy in the mail! I am officially a graduate now YAY!

Oh and it snowed a lot here in the mountains which meant that our ski resort finally opened and Zac and I enjoyed the slopes on Sunday! Im pretty sure we will be there again this weekend too! :) Well that is about it for updates hopefully I will be better at this blog thing.

Holidays

We had a wonderful very mellow and quiet Christmas, it was nice to just not have to worry about anything and just enjoy the time spent with family. This year we spent Christmas here in Idaho with my family, we have a Christmas tradition on Christmas Eve we always go over to my Grandparents house and we have a little gift exchange and just hang out....this year was a little different from years past in that my grandpa was in the hospital and we were not sure if he was going to be able to be home....so we waited in anticipation and our prayers came true he got to come home, the hospital released him at about 5:30 Christmas Eve! It was so good to have him there.

On Christmas Day we were with my parents and we opened gifts and had breakfast and then went to Mission Impossible 4....it was a great movie I loved it! Then we came back home and we all helped my mom make a wonderful dinner as well as squeezing in some Kinnect Sports.....lets just say I did not win the golf match so we will be having another game here really soon so I can have a rematch haha. We also got so spoiled by everyone and we made out like bandits....Zac's favorite things were all 4 seasons of The Big Bang Theory, his video game Skyrim, and the Roku. Some of my favorite things are I got a cute new purse, silver Toms, and lots of fun new clothes!

For new years we were down in Salt Lake with Zac's family, it was so fun to be with everyone....it has been awhile since we have all been together! We played Dance Central with the Kinnect, apples to apples, and a couple other games but most importantly we got to just hang out as a family and it was so nice!! We also went to The Red Iguana (if you are ever in Salt Lake and and good Mexican food you have to try this place it is amazing) anyways it was so fun...poor Jordan was not feeling well hopefully he is all better now :) and Zac and Wyatt ordered the same dish....oh and they didn't read all the way through the description of what they ordered....lets just say it was a very hot dish and they drank a lot of water and ate a lot of rice with it haha....minor detail in that there was jalapenos in it with the seeds...once they figured this out they started avoiding them....but they loved it anyways! Zac, Mom Linda and I also tried out another little Mexican place and they are famous for their fish tacos, I have the shrimp tacos and they were AMAZING!!!! We will defiantly be going to that place a lot more when we are down there. It is called Lone Star Taqueria (sp) so if you like fresh fish you need to go here!!!! 

Well that is an update on what we did for the holidays....I don't have any pictures this time a) because I am on a new computer and have yet to transfer pics and b) I didn't take a whole lot either!
