My baby is 3!











Yesterday Tucker, my baby, turned 3 years old! I can't believe how fast time has gone. He is so big and so smart! We had a fun day and celebrated with a family party that evening. His Grandma Hanson or "Grandma Mel" as Tucker called her, came and got him on Tuesday and took him out to lunch and shopping for a present. He was so excited. She took him to pick out a cake and he loved that!
I asked him what Grandma and Grandpa got him and he kept telling me cake!
My little baby is growing up! He is even fully potty trained. WE love you Tucker!!

My kids really listen to me

I have to be careful what I say because evidently Tucker is listening and can hear everything i say...something i am not used to with Fisher.
Last week Steve picked some of the corn he grew and cooked corn on the cob. We picked it too early and during dinner commented that "the corn sucks this year". I didn't think anything of it at the time.
Today I made corn on the cob this time from our friends garden. His corn turned out and was great, however, Tucker saw the corn and said "mommy, this corn sucks!"
Oops!

Teaching ASL

It has been awhile since i posted last, and that is because I have been so busy with my new job! I am now about 2 weeks into the school year. I teach 3 periods of ASL a day to high school students at Morgan High School. My students are doing well (i have 60 this trimester) and learning fast. They still struggle from time to time with the no voice policy, but hey they are high schoolers!
I love the teaching part of my job, but am getting used to the grading, prep time and classroom management which really isn't that bad.
I love the fact that I am part time so I can be home for my kids. I am there to greet Fisher as he gets off the bus and still get lots of bonding/teaching time with Tucker.
My hat goes off to all you working moms! It is exhausting many days working part time i don't know how you do it full time.
All in All i love my job and still get to be a stay at home mom (most of the day)!

Our trip to Hill Cumorah/Kirtland/Philly

Our trip was started out in Philadelphia where the Constitution of America was written. Without the wonderful founding fathers of our great nation and their faith in God, our country and therefore church, would not exist today. this First slide show highlights some of our stops along the way. I am still working on part two. We saw many of the historic sites of our country, then headed over to Palmyra New York and Harmony PA to see the restoration sites of the Priesthood and church.When I post part two of the slide show i will add to the post and tell more about our trip. I gained a better appreciation and love for both our founding fathers and Joseph Smith, and everyone who helped him to restore the church and gospel to the earth once again.
