State Fair, and 5K

Gleason showing everyone how it is done
We have been super busy. Yesterday was one crazy day it all stated at 6:00 we got up and headed to the fair ground for the food for 5k run. This is becoming quite the family tradition now, this year I invited my friend Gleason from work. She was so amazing at running she placed second in the women's division. I on the other hand was not last, so I call that a success. After we ran we worked on service projects we made puppets for STRONG FOR DOM and painted bleachers for the fair grounds.
We are some good looking folks

Jason working on his ironing skills

Emily and Max making their puppet ....Guess whose is whose?

Emily's is pink weird huh?

It was a blast and great opportunity for nonmembers to learn about our crazy religion. After that we headed home for nap time. Woke up and went to Luke's for his birthday party. Then after hanging out for an hour we headed to the State Fair, which is always fun. They made some changes from last year, but it was fun. The kids got to milk a "cow". Play in soybeans, try some different flavors of honey, and see a whole bunch of different animals We even saw some fish. We watched a fireman'
s show, and we saw someone make a sculpture with a chainsaw that was cool too. All in all it was fantastic, but busy day.

My Classroom

So I know this is late, but here it is. The most amazing classroom in all the world. My mother in law helped me decorate this year and man you can tell that it was not me who did the decorating cause it looks good.

I have rearranged since than

My awesome boards

Check out the basketball court

Catch up

So I am a large slacker, but I am still just trying o get in the swing of things. School is going amazing, I love my class and I love my job. I am sad however everyday leaving my kids. I feel like I am missing out on so much. I know however that I am doing what I am supposed to be doing.
Max is growing crazy big, he talking counting, and excited to learn st uff (complete opposite of emily). He loves to color, and especially loves books.

Emily on the hand Emily loves Grammy school. She is always excited to go and often demands that Jason leave early.


Other than that not up too much, just getting it what family time I can between mine and jason's schedule it sure is hard.
