Daddy Taught Me

At dinner Friday night daddy was teaching Anya what a pig says. . . Then Danna had to get into the action too. It was so funny I had to get a video of it. I hope it works.

Busy Weekend Doing Nothing

Well, not really nothing. . . just nothing all that productive. Saturday daddy needed to get some homework done and that never goes very well with all us girls around so we went to Grandma and Grandpa Reber's to hang out for the day. We watched movies and played outside and sewed princess dresses for Clarissa's birthday party (and Halloween.) Danna loves dressing up as a princess and Anya hates it. This should be interresting. Then daddy came down and had dinner with us and helped us take tubbies. Then he went home for more homework and we snuggled up on Grandma's couch and watched a movie. Finally daddy came and helped us home and we slept in our own beds. Sunday was church of course and then Mike and Kristen came down for dinner and a visit. It was nice to see them as it had been awhile since we had gotten to chat. Kristin is working at Target now and Mike is working for Washington County School District, Target and going to school full time. He is thinking of being a special education teacher. He is excited about getting his schooling started. We are proud of him for thinking thing through and figuring out what will best provide for him and his family.

Danna Doing Homework

After Danna did her homework we had to take a picture of her with it on the fridge. She thought I was being excessive and just wanted to go to bed. Then Anya wanted to get in on the action too. She is getting tired of Danna getting to do everything without her.
This cute picture of Danna on her first day of preschool. She was so excited to go and take her backpack with her. Such a cute girl.

Danna's first homework

Today Danna started her early childhood pre-school class. Daddy took her and momma helped her with her homework. The assignment was to draw a picture of herself. She had a lot of fun doing it. She knew that she had brown hair and brown eyes and pink lips. On her shirt she had Cinderella (blue), Sleeping Beauty (pink) and Belle (yellow). She is a very smart girl.

2 Weeks In

It's two weeks into the new school year and this is what I have learned so far. . . Don't get excited about your schedule. . . it will probably change by the end of the day. We are going through lots of changes at VVHS. Schedule changes are pretty typical at the begining of the school year but this year has been excessive. I was pretty excited for a couple of days because I had 7th and 8th periods off but I think when I go back to school tomorrow I will have 1st and 7th off. Because I am not sure I can't be late even though I really want to be just to prove a point. . .
I have also learned that I have an amazing husband. Last weekend was the Jensen Reunion on Kolob mountain. Somehow while we were there I really messed up my back. I couldn't do anything but lie flat so it was really good that we had taken the monster van. We decided Sunday that there was no point in staying up there because I wasn't getting any better so Gary packed us up and we came home. Monday I spent taking muscle relaxers and anti inflamatories on a regular basis and lying on the bed watching tv and reading to the girls. By Tuesday I could at least stand and it has gotten better every day although I still get "frozen" up if I sit for too long. This whole week Gary has picked up the slack. He has worked really hard to stay on top of the laundry and has been the go to for both of the girls because I have been too afraid to lift them. He is wonderful! And his reward for it. . . He has caught the girls' cold and is now feeling under the weather. Poor guy. Maybe I'll get ambitious tomorrow after work and make him home made chicken noodle soup. We can always dream!
