So my friend Breanne and I went to a Cougar basketball game in November and hardly anyone was there so Cosmo was roming around the stadium to try to get everyone pumped up so I took advantage and got a picutre with him. GO COUGARS!

Something I love about Ephraim is that 5 minutes away is the beautiful Manti temple. It is my favorite temple I absolutely love walking around it in the spring time with all the flowers, it's so amazing!

Some of the family at the Sanpete County Parade! From left to right: my brother Tyler, his daughter Ashlee (behind him), my dad, mom, neice Krista in back, sister-in-law Jen, and neice Katie on her lap.

I need to find a picture with my entire family. I love hanging out with my family we are very close and my neices and nephews are so darn cute! I have 7 1/2 neices and nephews ranging from 13 years-4 years. 2 Nephews and 5 neices, soon to be 6 neices. Yep we went from a male dominating family to a girl dominating family and I love it!

This is me and my roomies from B.Y.U. As nice as it is to be done with the stress, homework, etc. I have to admit I miss my college life at times. I can't believe it is all over!

Work Life

So I just decided it was time to get a blog because pretty much everybody else has one and I enjoy looking at them. So my first post I thought I should talk about my knew career this year.............Teaching 7th grade!!! I love it! I just graduated from B.Y.U in August of 2008 and I took a job at Fort Herriman Middle School teaching 7th grade Utah Studies. I work with amazing people and the school is only 4 years old so it's nice and new. The kids have a lot of energy but they are overall very good and very fun to work with. They leave me with a lot of funny stories everyday. For example...........this week I had the students correct a short quiz. I kept looking at one of my "known-to-be-off-task" students because he was writing on his hand. Since I always call him out I tried to be suttle and said "I don't want you to do anything else but correcting your quizzes!" This didn't stop him, so I finally went over there and stopped everything to ask him what he thought he was doing, he then told me that he didn't have a peice of paper to write the quiz on, so he used his hand! He had 10 answers all over his hand! And that is how the majority of my sweet little 7th graders minds process. He didn't think through how he was going to turn in the assignment (he wasn't to fond of the idea of chopping his hand off) but by darn he was going to write that quiz down somewhere even if it meant sacrificing his hand to be completely overtaken by black ink! Anyway, my first year of teaching has been very adventurous and I have really enjoyed the experience!
