I know you must all be wondering where I have disappeared to... it's like I have dropped off the face of the blogging world, but I am back. I'm taking a quick minute away from lesson planning to say hello to all my blogger buddies. I am almost half way through my 5 week practicum block, week three starts tomorrow and I have a wicked sore back but am ready to go. I get to experience parent teacher interviews again this week which is always a great learning experience. I am learning so much and realizing just how much work being a teacher is. It's been fun this week to come home and all Brandon and I do is talk about our day at school and discuss the different issues we may have faced in our day... we are such teachers. Other then that I've been sticking pretty close to home because of school and lesson planning. I did have a great treat last week when my amazing big sister took me to see 17 Again which was such an awesome movie... we laughed so much... and Zach Efron is a total stud... I would totally go see it again... I recommend big time!!

Here is a backwards recap of some of the fun things I did this past week... see facebook for all the other pictures taken at these events... I'll be posting them sometime this week!

Today is Mike and Kathy's 32nd and 30th birthday!! Happy Birthday Guys!!! We had a wonderful family lunch today, and had so much fun visiting and laughing at the kiddies, especially Georgia! Then last night Jeff threw Kathy a 30th birthday party, since it was such a beautiful day it was a BBQ with so much good food- I was stuffed. Kathy got to blow the candles out on her cake in the spot that the kids always sit which was really cute and she got some super thoughtful gifts. Mom and Dad drove me home last night and when dad was dropping me off I was trying to carry some grocery bags into the house and balance some food for Brandon... when I shut the car door with my food the hamburger fell to the ground and my Dad RAN OVER IT!!!! hahha I laughed so much about that... what is random though is that the burger isn't outside on the ground today... maybe someone was hungry at night?

The night before Kathy's party was Sonja's Birthday... Happy Birthday Sonja!!! Phil had some friends over to celebrate Sonja's special day. It was a nice get together and I got to play with some of my favorite little friends. We had a DELICIOUS ice cream cake, which has me wanting more!! I took a bunch of pictures and got to watch some pretty awesome rock band performances!! It was a fun night and a fun celebration of my friends birthday!!!

Wednesday night Brandon and I took a few hours off lesson planning and went out to dinner with the Bing Family. We went to the Delta and had an amazing dinner. I had pumpkin cheesecake for dessert which was ummmm yummy it can't even be described. Brandon and I always have a wonderful time when we get to spend time with either of our families!!

Monday night One Tree Hill was back on and I couldn't have been happier. The gals and cooper headed over and we had so much to eat... which wasn't good since we were all stuffed before we even brought the snacks out. Lesley and Kathy picked up the new stamps I ordered and I can't wait to have a few free minutes to play with them. Cooper is getting to big and chubby, the sleeper that he is wearing is one that I gave him on the day he was born and it looked so big back then... and now he fits into... so crazy and so cute! What a BABE!!!! I love him!!

Uncle Brandon always loves to hold Cooper when he comes to visit... how much do I love these to cuties!!! I'm back to the lesson planning, my goal is to be in bed by eleven which I hope happens. I'm feeling pretty good right now, Cooper and I had a little nap this afternoon, but I don't want to just catch up on sleep only to loose it again!!! Have a GREAT week!!!

Welcome back and wow what an update. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KATHY, MIKE, and Sonja. April is a popular month.
Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU TOO...it is coming soon.
It sounds like you have had a lot of fun happenings going on, good for you. I am glad you have been able to take a break from school and I am also happy that you are enjoying school so much.
Sorry your back is sore...Halle missed you today in nursery, hope you are feeling better soon! As for the teaching, it really is hard work. My dad is a high school teacher and teaches part time at the university too. He is always lesson planning, grading, figuring projects...etc... You will be an awesome teacher, kids are just drawn to you and love you! And last, I bet a raccoon got the burger!!! Those darn things! :)
Yeah Zac Efron is pretty dang hot in that movie. He's cute in HSM, but he definitely crosses over to HOT in 17 Again, haha! I'm also a HUGE Matthew Perry fan, so it was a double shot of yumminess for me. Oh yeah, and I was sitting by Nate, so make it a triple!!! :)
yeah, teaching can be loads of work at times. I hope you are both having fun with it though. The best part is that after your BEd is done, you don't have to make those really detailed lesson plans anymore (unless you want to).
Hope you recover soon. Back pain is not fun. What a busy time for you. Too bad about the hamburgers, lol!
Can I just say...that when you have your own classroom...it'll be the best most fun one in the schoolboard! You know it's true! You need a cricut!
Glad that you were able to come over the other night! It was a good surprise from Phil! Hope your back is doing better, meant to call you yesterday to see if pain killers were necessary, BUT forgot!
I have a blog...but I need lots of help to use it corectly. Love reading yours!!
Beautiful pictures of a wonderful family
