YES!

So, the cutest thing happened today. Last night Caleb and I had some friends over and lets just say that our house was a MESS this morning. But of course I was racing off to class and Caleb was racing off to work along with trying to get Daisy to the sitters. Anyway, when I got back from class I was reminded of the MESS when I walked in the back door. However, I decided to go and pick up Daisy first and then deal with the MESS when we got back. Come to me surprise I walked into the kitchen and the place was SPOTLESS! Oh I just couldn't help but say "wow!" with a big smile on my face! I called Caleb right away and told him "THANK YOU!" ...I guess he came home to eat lunch and remember hearing me say our house was a MESS, so he decided to make my day and CLEAN IT!! Oh man!! Gotta love the guy!!! He really is the best husband ever!!! What would I do with out him?

Because Caleb was so cute with the cleaning and even asking me so cutely to a dance, I figured I better reply. I had no idea how to reply or answer him, so I just came up with a stupid one with a whole lot of YES'! I would have gone to his work and placed them all over his car at work but Daisy is asleep and on his note that he left me, he is going to be home early. So I just had to come up with the next best thing. Soooo, I decided to place my answer on my truck, that way when he pulled in from work he would see my answer right away! I hope he likes it. If not, Oh well, its the thought that counts!

Well, the other day I was feeding Daisy lunch again. I decided that because she was eating I would hurry and get some homework submitted. Well, when I came back into the kitchen this is what I found.....once again. Poor thing is always so tired when she actually takes a minute to sit still! (she did finish her nuggets though before she fell asleep!)

But no worries, that night she LOTS of energy again and really enjoyed her dinner and playing with her Daddy!

I Got ASKED!

I was getting dinner on the table last night when our doorbell rang. I went to the door but no one was there. I looked down and this is what I found.

Awww.... isn't my hubby just the sweetest!! Now all we need to do is find a babysitter!

Studying HARD...Test Tomorrow!

I take my PRAXIS Test tomorrow morning at 7:30am for two hours! I am tested on Math, Reading, Social Studies, and Science. Pretty much everything you learned from K-6th Grade! I have been studying every day for the last month. Today I am trying to learn/remember the last couple of things I 'think' I should know. My HEAD is hurting like CRAZY!!! I just really don't want to have to take this test again nor do we have the money for me to take it again!! Just wish me luck!! I should get my results back in a month or so. If I pass you will hear from me.. if not..... then I will be sad and will take it again. :0( But honestly, I really think I have done my part in studying, still getting my homework done, taking care/spending time with Daisy, and still spending time with the family. So, I guess I just leave the rest to the Lord and if I pass then I pass. SO WISH ME LUCK!!

Warn Out!

This happened last week, and I can't believe I caught it on video.

I just couldn't decide what she wanted to do....I was totally enjoying myself!!

Ha Ha...Oh Good Times!

The October 2008 Update

Well, I haven’t quit decided how I am going to post all of the cute pictures of all of our events. So humm… Lets see… lets just post them in order of how they happened. So first thing first. Daisy loves to play the Wii with us anytime we play. She has caught on very quickly and would probably kick our butts if we actually plugged her control in. (Dang it! I downloaded the pictures to be on the right side, now the wording is off. You will just have to match pictures with wording yourself. Sorry)
This is the first year that I have actually decided I liked Halloween. I am not a big fan of the scary part of Halloween and ugly looking things, but I do love the cute little witches, ghosts, and so on. So this year I made us some magnets. I got the directions off the web and even in the directions they made the candy corns wrong! What jerks!! I was so proud of my magnets and their made wrong. Because it got cold here in Cedar over night for just one week we had our heater on. Daisy was wondering what the noise was that kept coming on. I think she found the spot! A couple of weeks ago we went to Vegas to visit the family. Because Vegas is our vacation we decided we would take Daisy to ‘Pet Land!’ Daisy enjoyed the dogs at first but then she got tired. We got Grandma to come with us. She wasn’t a big fan of the dogs but she did love to watch Caleb with them. However, she wasn’t too happy when he put them in her face!

For Halloween Caleb and I thought it would be a fun idea to put on a Halloween Party! Our turn out was really good. I made homemade chili, German pancakes, and we played Mario Kart, carved pumpkins, played Seek ‘n Hide (with glow in the dark sticks) and had tons and tons of candy!! It was a blast! Maybe next year we will do it again!

For Halloween night Daisy dressed up as a Fairy Princess! She looked so cute!! That day while she was taking her nap I decided to make her a bag to collect her candy in. It looked freaking cute but I don’t have a picture of the whole thing. In one of the pictures is shows one side of her bag. Daisy loved the trick or treating! She thought it was a game and at most houses the person would play along. They would hand her a candy and put it in her bag, and then she would reach up and take another candy and put it in her bag, and then she would start to go for another one and they would say “sure! Of course have another one!” So Daisy got lots of Candy! At one house she even got a stuffed animal because she was “a little one!” She held on to the animal until she saw the next house with lights and then jumped down to get more candy!

Soon everything will slow down...

I've been SO busy with school for the last couple of weeks and more than likely I will continue to be busy until the semester is over!

I have taken tons of pictures of little things that have gone on with us and things we have done but I wont get the chance to probably post those until everyone SLOWS WAY DOWN.

By the way.... NO CANCER! The doctor totally shouldn't be a doctor. :0)

Also I have finished teaching my first four weeks in the 4th grade! I loved every minute of it!!

Last Tuesday I taught for my first time in 2nd grade! I liked it too....but we have a lice issue in that class!! I know I am sooo mad!! I really don't want to teach there for the next three weeks. But please wish me luck because I have to.

My Praxis test is coming up in two weeks and I have been studying a ton, but I still don't feel ready for the Reading part of the test. So wish me luck there too.

Caleb will take his CPA a test two days before mine, so wish me luck too.

Daisy will not be taking any test but she is doing great and getting really tall.

Sorry again for no pictures but I just don't have time. Sorry.... time to get back to homework and lesson plans.
