A Purchace with a Purpose

As you all may know we have had many cars in our past. Everything from a scooter to two different mustangs. Most people thought we were crazy and the truth is we probably were. Recently we have done it again. Roy got a crazy idea that there wouldn't be enough room for the family in either of our cars. So we went from this...

To this...

All because Roy doesn't think 3 people and 2 dogs can fit in a Mustang. Thats right, I said 3 people. We are having a baby!!!! This little Smith will arive in late May. We are very excited and can't wait.

A Little Bit of Halloween at Our House

I grew up in a house that was always decked out for Halloween. Now I do not have the space or the brains to come up with some of the creative decor my dad did. Here is my attempt to keep the Prisbrey tradition alive.

Nothing too Exciting

I never thought I would go weeks at a time without blogging. It is hard to get motivated to blog when nothing very exciting seems to be going on. We went up to Utah last week to say "See Ya later" to my little brother who is leaving on his mission to England in a couple weeks. We also had the opportunity to go to the temple with him and the rest of my family.
It was a quick trip and back to work and adding to the many students I already have. I guess admin either hates me or REALLY trusts me. They keep giving me more and more students. Students that are extra smart but too young for 1st grade they say give to Mrs. Smith because she will challenge them. Kids with behavior problems that other teachers can't stand they give to me because I must be good at fixing that too???? I don't know... All I know is my class is 5 students more than the other Kindergarten classes. Ahh sorry I am beginning to vent.
Roy is finally going back to work next week. We are very excited for him to go back, not only to make a little extra money, but he is BORED out of his mind.
Sorry this post was so boring, but maybe soon we will have more exciting happenings.

Caricature

Roy and I went to the outlet malls last week to spend some of my birthday money. On our way out we saw this lady who drew caricatures. I have always wanted to get one of these done of Roy and I. There was a sale going on and so we got it done. Hehehe

Catching Up

It has been a very crazy year. Lets just say I am glad I did not have to change grades this year. It seems each year the amount of stuff I "have" to do besides teach gets more and more. I can't imagine starting from scratch and trying to juggle all the additional "stuff" teachers have to do. I have 28 little 4 and 5 year old kids right now. Some days, Yes I want to pull out my hair. Other days they really do remind me of how lucky I am to be a teacher. As always I have my hands full of a variety of problems, very gifted, ELL, attitudes, behavior, lack of motivation, talkative, wiggly, selective hearing, winy, cry babies, and I even have a few that are VERY RESPECTFUL. Those will be the ones that keep me going. We have just finished up the 3rd week of school and I just hope I will have them ready for 1st grade because it will be here before we know it.

This past week I celebrated my 26th birthday. I woke up before the alarm went off not because I was incredibly excited but because I HATE the sound of that NOISE. As I went to kiss Roy good bye I got in a little trouble because he didn't hear the alarm go off... He WAS going to make me breakfast in bed... Oops! It was probably for the better since he woke up sick. I went to work and was trying to get a few things done when my friend Michelle (she teaches 1st grade right next door to me) walked in with her girls. She had donuts, chocolate milk and present for me. We invited some other teachers who taught in our same pod to come join us for breakfast. I opened the gift she brought me. She had made some blocks that said FAMILY on them. We had went to a craft fair two days before and I saw them and said I liked them but they would be way easy to make instead of paying a ton of money for them.

Later that day Roy showed up at school with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. He brought them into my classroom and had my students sing happy birthday. He also took and filled my car up with gas. AHHH When I got home we went out to dinner. We decided to go to CPK since we had a million unknown coupons and decided the chances were pretty good that we would end up with a pretty decent price on dinner. We were right one of them was 50% off!!! Then we came home and just hung out since Roy didn't feel well.

I didn't really get any presents on my birthday since I got them all a week early. Roy doesn't believe in waiting to have something if it is already purchased and you know you will get it anyway. I got new golf clubs

I also got a new phone

and a new lunch bag.

Like I said I am catching up, not only on my blog but hanging up cute stuff I have had sitting for years. I finally got this up and I wish I had decided to hang it sooner.

Thank your for staying in touch with us. I am pretty sure we are headed back up to Utah at the beginning of October.

Molly Got a Hair Cut

My little Molly is not a scruffy little orphan dog anymore. We got her hair cut because of the heat down here in Vegas. Roy got her Cubs collar and so between that and the short hair she looks like a boy. But we still love her.

I'm No Photographer

I know I have no clue what I am doing when it comes to being behind a camera. I am pretty sure I just got lucky with this one.
