Storms rolling through...

We had a huge storm roll in on Tuesday night that destroyed my whole school. Only 3 classrooms were spared. Someone shared this pic of the storm just dumping rain on top of my school. On Wednesday when I walked in my classroom was raining, it was the craziest thing I've ever experienced. 









Ashlyn's art...

We had a bunch of news people come through our school and one featured my classroom, here it is...


Rick is making sling shots for Mountain Man coming up in October..




This was the scene that I walked into on Wednesday...the debris on the floor is from the ceiling tiles falling down...
































Abby went to her 2nd gymnastics class on Thursday night and is absolutely loving it!


We watched the football game from home on Friday night and got to watch Ashlyn perform!


Rusty likes to stand guard in our backyard waiting for his chance to try and catch a lizard or a bird...it's so funny to watch him being so still and waiting for his chance. 


 We are waiting to hear back from the school if we will be moving back in tomorrow or if it's going to take more time. It was hard to walk into my classroom and see all of the materials that I worked on for hours just destroyed in seconds, all of the pictures that I took may be destroyed as well because they had to heat up the school to 120-150 degrees to speed up the drying process. It has been quite the adventure.

Week in Review...

Ashlyn's latest art drawings...


Rick and Jacob went dirt biking on Monday morning and had a great time...



One of my teachers caught this cute moment with one of my students, I love my job...
Jacob got his license on Tuesday! He's already driven all over the place and he took a friend to the movies last night, he's loving his new found freedom...

 Lots of COVID is going around at my school and this morning I woke up super achy and congested. I'm hoping a day of rest will help kick whatever this is fast.

Week in Review...

Yesterday my co-worker had a surprise party for her 50th! It was fun to gather with other coworkers outside of work. I'm blessed with an amazing team!


Memory from years ago at Thanksgiving...

Rick and Jacob got out to go dirt biking yesterday, since the weather cooled off a bit. This was a big hill that Jacob was scared to go up, so Rick had to ride Jacob's dirt bike up the hill...



Jacob turned 16 on Tuesday! He requested ribs and cheesecake for dessert, Rick worked from home so that he could cook the ribs for several hours. Jacob is our hard-working helper, he's always willing to help out and especially to cook. He loves to help in the kitchen...we are grateful he's in our family.


Abby loves to go on dirt bike rides around the block with Rick...



One of my coworkers sent me this photo, I love my job!


This weekend Ashlyn got to be a nanny for a family in our ward. She spent the night at their house got them ready for church and brought them to church and then took them home until another family member could take over. It was a lot of work but I'm so proud of her, she had great patience with the 3 kids and they were so cute with her. She's learning valuable skills!
