TKO (total knock out)

I was informed that Van punched a kid in primary yesterday, and gave him a bloody nose. What does that mean? Aaron and I were still in Las Vegas, so Shannon and Kevin took the boys to their church. In primary there was a kid who was bullying Van and pushed him. So I guess in return he decided to punch him. I am glad he can stand up for himself, I just wish there was a nicer way to do it. Anyway, Shannon talked to him, and I talked to him when I got home - I think he knows it was not the best way to take care of the problem. Pray for him please! (and me cause obviously I am doing something wrong).

EIGHT years

Aaron and I have been married for eight years. Isn't it amazing how time flies - we thought we would celebrate by taking a weekend road trip to where else but Vegas. We stayed at my dads house in Hurricane and are heading to Vegas today. It is fun being on our own, when you have kids your life seems no longer your own. The boys are having so much fun with Kevin and Shannon this weekend and they have some fun things planned for them, thanks so much guys for helping us out!

We came to Hurricane by way of Delta and stuff, Aaron spent all Friday cleaning the car so it was pretty for our gaunt - now look at it...SICK.

Back to school

Were did the summer go? It is already time to head back to school, I am so lucky I get to go back a week before everyone else. Today it is not so hot in my class room, yet.

My kids have been tossed around between friends and their favorite babysitter - dad. Thanks friends who have so willingly helped out, this is always a hard time to work out, daycare doesn't open until next week.

My list of things to do here at school seems to continually grow, and I wonder if I will be done in time for school? I guess we will find out.

I really do love teaching though, so I can't complain

Crater Lake, Oregon

Wow, how cool is this? This lake is super blue, and I was told that it is the deepest lake in North America (almost 2000 ft deep). It was a little cooler up at the crater, anything is better than the 105 degrees down in the valley. As we were driving it was weird being in that setting, with Kristi living here it is a quick jaunt up the mountain. Most people we saw were vacationing in motor homes, or motorcycles, ect.
This trip has been fun, especially watching the boys play. Although it will be good to get back home and see Aaron!

The closing of summer

I can not believe how fast this summer has gone by. I think I spent so much time chasing my little escape artist (Finn) we chased the summer right away.
We are now in Medford, Oregon enjoying my last week before I have to go back to school. My sister lives here, Van has been so excited to see and play with his cousins!
Today it was supposed to be 107 degrees, we have been inside most of the day.
We have a few other events on our agenda for the week, watch for new pictures from Crate Lake or something?
Thanks Gary for bringing us to visit.
