Surprise!

A couple weeks ago I was asked about getting Jaime to a farewell party for him at his assistant principal's (Scott Raab) house. I made sure to keep the evening open for us. Even letting our friends know when they wanted to get together for a game night. Scott and his wife invited Jaime and I to "dinner" at their house. When it was time to go Jaime realized that he didn't have the address! I had the address from the invite that was sent to me via email but I couldn't let Jaime know I had it! So Jaime texted Scott for it. Scott was busy getting dinner ready with the rest of the staff already at his house that he didn't see Jaime's message right away so we did get to the party a little late. Everyone was so good to park away from the house. As we drove up Scott walked out and lead us around the house to the back yard saying that we'd be eating outside. Jaime just chatted as we walked and then was totally surprised when everyone yelled SURPRISE!! He had no idea! Keeping something like this from Jaime isn't always easy. Many of the staff said they figured Jaime knew but he didn't. The surprise was a success.

Everyone loves Jaime so much. Many are sad to see Jaime leaving McClintock and going to the high school. Some even said if they could teach secondary grades they'd happily follow him to the high school. 

Jaime gave a good farewell speech. 

We were showered with themed gift baskets from each grade level. They are great gift givers! Date night basket, movie night basket, game night, BBQ, car wash and care basket, cookie of the month club, movie tickets and candy, dinner cruise, just so many great things! We had a really good time. I'm so glad that Jaime has such an impact on an entire school and so many people. People love and respect Jaime. He truly is good at what he does.

SURPISE!!!!

Yes, this is true. And yes....this will be our newest addition to the family. You think you're surprised! Just imagine how surprised I was! Big time let me tell you. And in case you are wondering, I am just starting my first week of month number five. Yes, I am in my second trimester already. Hard to believe it's really gone that fast. I haven't been sick at all. It's been very nice. I could easily not know that I was pregnant because I don't feel like I am. This explains why I haven't been sick. It's a boy. I wasn't sick with Aidan either. I kind of figured it was a boy and this morning confirmed that it was. Here's the little guy in action. , We got up a little after 6 a.m. and got ready to head to the hospital. My mom showed up at 6:45 to watch the other three at home for us. Thanks Mom! We got to the hospital and you know the rest of the story there...boy. :) Everything looks to be good from what we saw but someone else will look

Living Life Day to Day

My kids are wonderful. They are growing up into wonderful children. I love them so much. We've been very busy with this and that recently. This will be a long recap of some of what's been going on. :) The Primary Program was Sunday Sept 22. (I forgot to get a picture of them on that day but I did get pics of them the previous Sunday.) All four of them memorized their parts and stood at the microphone to say them without any hesitation at all. They were cute to watch singing the songs. Aidan was funny to watch with his gestures and making a heart with his hands through some of the songs. My parents and grandparents were able to come and watch. It was a special treat for the kids to have them there.  The Sunday this picture was taken there were hundreds of yellow butterflies all over the purple flowering bushes. It's hard to see them but on the left you can see one up close.  Tyler had his first talk in primary the Sunday after the program. He stood up to the mi

The Past Week...

This past week has been a pretty laid back one. I've been getting things done on my own schedule...whenever I feel like it. Haha! Took the boys to the library, I've been making time (a.k.a. not working) to read a book for my own enjoyment, planted some flowers, made a few trips to the park with the kids, done a bit of shopping (grocery shopping at Winco is a lot of work with just me and the boys and I really have to gear up for it.), and I have been playing Sorry and Hi Ho Cherry O with Aidan quite a bit. So I have been busy just not with the normal stuff that keeps me busy on a daily basis.  I love browsing Costco with Jaime and my kids in the evening of a week day. It's not very crowded then. If there's a fun movie on the TVs we like to stop and watch a little. We stopped to watch a bit of the Avenger's in 3D...hence Aidan's glasses. :) I spent a day at Mom's with the boys. It was fun to be there with her and visit and do stuff like we used t
