N.A.Y.C.E Confrence in Reno

March 1, 2, and 3 is the NAYCE conference in Reno. I'm soo excited, I was rewarded a scholarship to go!! The scholarship pays for the conference and some travel expenses. Scholarship's were given to one person at each center state wide and I'm the one that got selected from our preschool!! I can't wait to go, it's fun to get new ideas and get inspired by fellow ECE educators!! Dan and I went to the conference in Las Vegas last year and we had such a good time!! Dan is scheduled to work this year; but, he is going to try and get it off.

Marissa said the funniest thing the other night!! We came home late one night and Marissa had fallen asleep on the way home so Dan got her out of the car and was carrying her up the steps when she said "Daddy, don't drop me because I bruise like a flower." We started laughing, I don't know why she would say that!! It's funny any how! She comes up with some pretty interesting things!! She's always making us laugh!!

Spring Semester Starts!

Ready or not Spring semester starts tomorrow! I think I'm more not ready than ready too! I'm only taking six credits this semester though, so it shouldn't be to bad, I'll keep my fingers crossed!! I took to many classes last semester and got to overwhelmed! I really want to concentrate on my math classes and get them out of the way! I had no idea a person could get so mentally exhausted!

Wish me luck!!!!

My Dad!!

My Dad is the greatest Dad in the world! (Hi Dad!) He's always there for me (us) when needed, he's never judgemental; and if he is he never shows it, Instead he shares his knowledge! He's the type of guy who would give his shirt off his back if it meant helping someone in need. He's the one (with my Mom) who taught me everything I know! That's why I'm a know-it-all sometimes! Ha-Ha! I'm stuffed with good morals, values, beliefs, and stuff that I picked up on my own along the way....... Combine them all and you get ME!! Thanks for me!! You taught me to well!

You told me to update my blog! Well, there's your update! Your great!!!!

The Cheetah Girl Concert and the Ones We Love!

Last Monday we took Marissa, Mckalya, Kierra and Hailey to the Cheetah Girls Concert in Salt Lake City, it was what we gave them for their Christmas present. We wanted to give them a memory not another material thing that would be lost or broken or fade with time! The concert was a lot of fun!! I think it was more fun for me to watch them having fun than the actual concert!! They were soo cute!! Every song that they played, they would start screaming and they all would say "I know this song it's ..............."! Then they would jump up and down and start dancing. During the concert I realized just how old I'm getting and how old each of them are getting. It made me feel good that I was able to experience that with them, that's what it's all about though, right? Being with the ones we love!

During our busy lives we need to remember to take a time out and be with the ones we love and to tell them how much we care for them! Because in the end, family is all that really matters, it's not what kind of car we had or how big our house was or how much we had in our bank account! Sometimes I think people forget that fact! We are only on this earth for a short time, just waiting to go home! Even though material things seem nice here and now, I guarantee you that material things won't matter in the end, you can't take them with you when you die! In the end it will be about the quality of life you lived not the quantity that you had!! Don't get me wrong, a nice car, house and a fat bank account are always nice!! Some people are blessed with that life and some are not! I'm just saying don't base your whole life on material things! A really special person taught me this! ............It's the greatest knowledge that I've learned, on my barowed time that I call LIFE!!! Be happy and humble with the things you are blessed with and be happy for other's that are blessed with more! Be content with you!

Winter Days!

It's been very cold here!! It was nine below last night, brrrrr! The cold days make it a winter wonderland outside with pogonip everywhere, it's very beautiful! I must say though, I'm wishing for warmer days!

I've been sick for the last three days, I'm hoping tomorrow I'll be feeling better! Marissa woke up with a headache and a sore throat this morning. I gave her some airborne, hoping that we caught it in time!!

Tomorrow we are leaving to go to Salt Lake City to take Marissa, McKayla, Kierra and Hailey to go see the Cheetah Girls concert, their soo excited! I hope they all have fun!
