Wednesday Nights

Yep, this is how Sam and I spend our Wednesday nights. In our new ward we got called as the Bear Scout leaders a couple of months ago. It is a couples calling so that is nice since I don't know the first thing about scouts, but I'm learning! We actually really like our calling. The boys are a lot of fun!

HOME!

Last weekend I was able to go home! I went home to watch my brother Ryan's last homecoming game. He is a senior and has been drum captian for the past 2 years and I hadn't seen him perform yet. So, my parents flew me down and I was able to surprise him at his game. So fun! I was also able to spend lots of time with my parents. I love going home!

Me and RyanMe and Jake. It is offical. All of my 3 younger brothers are taller than me. Jake is only 13!Ryan before going to homecoming. What a stud!

Ways I Know I No Longer Teach Kindergarten In Happy Valley

-On the first day of school I ask a little boy his name and he responds, "Well, my momma calls me ghettos if you want to call me that."

-One of my students stole money from my desk.


-I heard a group of my students debating the scariest movie they have seen: Chucky, The Grudge, or Saw III.


-I call a parent to discuss their students behavior with them and their voicemail message is a rap song.


-I hear a little boy ask a little girl, "Let me see you boobies."


-One of my students takes a piece of paper rolls it up and brings it to his lips and says, "Smokin'!"


-During a fire drill we have a cop at school to escort the students across the street to the designated safe area. I hear one of my little boys say to another student, "That is the po po. You better watch out 'cause they'll get ya. Just like they got my daddy."


Gotta love it!
