5 days down 175 to go!!!

I have officially survived the first week of school!!!! We should all get together and celebrate!!! This past week was a drainer. It really kicked me in the pants. To top it all off, I finished the week up with an awesome cold. Who in the heck gets a cold in the middle of summer. Just me.

Andrew is adapting to daycare better. He still cries every time I leave but what are you gonna do. He is such a momma's boy it's really sad. Not even Barry can help save him. Today Andrew also survived his first biting incident at Day care some kid bit his arm and then his finger. What a great kid. No worries he'll live through that too.

Off to another fantastic week!!!!!!

The First Day of School!!!

First off, I want to apologize to my loyal friends who keep tabs on me. I have not been to great at updating my blog so I apologize. The past two weeks have been crazy with school getting underway.
Today was the first official day with students. It was crazy! They had us run all eight classes. This year I picked up an extra class so instead of having a prep a day I only have one prep every other day. A bit stressful. Because I am splitting my time between dance and health, I was all over the place today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better since we are on a regular schedule. Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well!!!!
As for Andrew and day care, he is fine after an hour or so. But, he's going through a bit of separation anxiety. Last year it was me who cried everyday. This year it's him. Oh when will all the craziness end????
By the way did I mention that all of this was crazy?

Tubes for Andrew

Yesterday morning we took Andrew to the hospital to have tubes put in his ears. Barry of course, was freaking out and all worried, (he's such a great dad!) But all went well. They gave him a mini hospital gown to wear. When your that little those things are actually cute. The procedure took all of 10 minutes and he was good to go. All was great yesterday. You would have never even known he had a little surgery done. Thanks goodness for excellent doctors and nurses!!!!

Welcome August!!

I can't believe it's August!!!! Where did my summer go???? Anyone have any answers to that question? I start Dance Company practice in exactly one week from today!!! I am using Cold Plays FABULOUS new song and am stoked to use it. I hope I have my choreography complete by then.

Now on another note. This past weekend we had our first annual Sha-Ronn reunion. For those of who are clueless to what the heck a Sha-Ronn is, it's the drill team in Tooele. I sent invites to as many girls that I could locate that I coached from 2000 to 2005 when I left Tooele. What a great time it was to see so many of them again. Many of them I have been fortunate enough to keep in contact with. But, many I hadn't seen since their weddings or graduation. It was a blast.

Friendly reminder the "So You Think You Can Dance" finale is on this week tune into find out who America will pick as their favorite dancer. Heaven knows I can't decide I love them all.

Andrew climbs stairs and more creatures in my yard!

Andrew made his first trip up the stairs unassisted. SCARY!!!!!!!!!!! I am happy he is a free traveling soul but, couldn't find safer places to go??? Just kidding. I know it will just get worse when the walking starts.

Barry found this little guy in one of our sprinkler things. He's pretty cute. But I really didn't want a pet frog. Barry said there was a much larger one too. But, he hopped across the street to the pond before he got caught!!! Oh the joys of living right next to Utah Lake!!!

What I found in my flower Bed!!!

I found this little guy crawling up the wall of our front porch today. Snails aren't as slow as one would think. He was in the dirt when I went to retrieve my camera. By the time I got back, he was to the top of our stairs.

Happy 4th of July

Hope you all had a great 4th of July. We went to Stadium of Fire!!! Yes we saw the amazing Miley Cyrus. Really not so amazing but fun anyway. This has become a long time family tradition. The only bummer thing about it was that all 28 of us couldn't go and we didn't get to sit together as we have every other year. My dad and brother opted out of the Miley Mania so everyone else was able to attend. It was fun but we have all agreed that if we can't sit together we won't go. I guess we might have to resort back to the days of old and watch the PG City fireworks.
