spring is here!

Swimming in Florida

Kennedy

Costa Rica

We saw lots of monkeys in the jungle...and we fed them coconuts.

Our friendship bracelets.


We went on an awesome zipline and tarzan swing deep in the jungle.



We rode a little boat out to this island to snorkel (the best snorkeling we have ever seen) we even saw some pretty big reef sharks swimming around.




I guess it was one last vacation with just us before the baby comes.

Halloween

Think i won first place for my costume? .....yup!

My classroom

Well, I got hired on as a special ed teacher 4 days before school started this year. I have never been so stressed... but with a lot of help (thanks to jess for decorating my room) I have survived the first 2 weeks and counting down. I have 13 students ranging from 1st grade to 4th grade and only 2 aids (so if anyone is bored come volunteer in my class!) The kids are really cute and once i can get organized and used to managing my own classroom i can't wait to relax and work one on one with the students more.

I love his fanny pack!



Sam ran the St. George marathon in October and he did awesome! He trained really hard all summer, I don't know how he stayed motivated. He woke up at 5am every Saturday morning to do his long runs. I was not jealous!
