Wow! I have been busy and my poor blog is the last thing to ever get up dated
I have been enjoying substitute teaching and learning so many new things about myself and getting out of my comfort zone to enter into strange schools, different types of classes and face new kids that I have to make a connection with in such a short time. I have taught in many special ed settings and been able to teach many different grade levels. The thing I love most are the kids. Children are incredible and I love watching their faces and seeing the good in them.
Allan had a great game this week. He sacked the quarterback, did an amazing job blocking for the guy running with the football to make a touch down, and made a 45 yard run which was10 yards shy of a touch down. Needless to say, his mamma was soooooooo proud of him.
Darin and Aimee have been decorating pumpkins for school projects. Darin made a Harry Potter and Aimee made Clifford.
Elena, Kacie and I enjoyed a girls night out (Aimee was not interested) and went to see the High School play - A Mid Summer's Night Dream. It was lots of fun.
After a month's worth of trips for Jeff in September, he has stayed busy preparing for this weeks Stake Conference.
Julianna and I are running tomorrow is a 10K run supporting the research in finding cures for cancer. It is my first run to do and I hope the weather cooperates. It should be lots of fun. Elena and Kacie are preparing to enter another 5K run in December.
I also have loved, loved, loved having Thomas with us during the week while his mom and dad are busy with work and school. What a treat for Grandma Jo (I'm seriously thinking to make things easier for everyone to become Nana Jo - I'm a Texas Grandma and Nana is what Texans say)
