Wow! I finally read everything I've missed in the last month. Everybody is so busy. Ben and I went to the Dallas temple, did one endowment, 5 or so marriage sealings, and I got to be a daughter in a sealing. I had never done sealings before. It was fun, happy and spiritual doing it all with Ben there. He is doing well, though we still need the computer out of the house. We are doing well and are happy, though miss the kids, but know we are doing all we can to get to Utah, and the kids are learning alot in a happy, good environment - with Grandma and Grandpa. Ben and I are happy just being together. That's all! I love all of you guys, Lisa!

Hmm

Let's try this

Zacher's b-day present from Grandma and Grandpa

We waited until the other kids were in bed and gave it to him. He loved it and was actually able to play with it without 10 other hands grabbing at it.

Some pics I took while I was home... cute!

Home-Made Mad Lib #1

Tonight for dinner we are having chicken. Zach looked very hard to prepare it for the bookmark. Please sit on your pig and be crazy. Use your transfromer and your nose to eat the lamb. When you are done dancing, put your dishes in the yawn.

Home-Made Mad Lib #2

Today we went to the moon. I jumped a pumpkin. My best person bought a WAL-MART. When she was finished, we brushed our table. At the end of the day we decided to rotate, so my friend went to KMART to get her ring, her Lydea, and her blue bird. When she got back, we hammered our bicycles home. And that's the end of my tree.

Home-Made Mad Lib #3

On Friday my big bog pot goose and I visited Cinderella. On our way, Belle had a problem. The tire chewed. We screamed and hung to hammer it, but there was nothing we could do, so we caught our birdies out of the mouth and ate them the rest of the way. When we finally got there, ball talked us big bog pot goose and Chuckie Cheeses. We hit a tow-truck. It harvested on over and danced the tire so we could murder Aurora.

Gracie loves Grandma and Grandpa!

Hard...

Hi all. Yes it is me. But only for one short little post. I don't have time to do this right now as there are a lot more things above it on the priority list but I just wanted to check it and see if there is anything new. I will write more and update you all soon as I get done doing the Primary Presentation for Sacrament and the Trunk or Treat /Ward Halloween Party. Can someone tell me why Primary just gets swamped in the Fall??? We are doing good though. Just have lots of things to get done for both and Luke is looking for a new job! Yes we will probably be moving soon. Will write more later. I hope all is well and that Karl is studying hard, Megan is momming hard, Lisa and Ben are loving and learning hard, Bill and Bri are living life happily and hard, Kevin is working hard, Robert and Heidi are laughing hard, Nancy is dating and attending college hard, and Tino, Anjelica, and Michael are going to school hard, and Mom is sleeping hard, and dad is striving hard to keep going through it all. "Hard" is a weird word. This was not "hard" to write either. Not as "hard" as carving out the faces on both sides of these plastic pumpkin pails for jack 0' lantern centerpieces. Yeah I am attempting to have our Halloween party outside for some cool ambience. Don't you think that will be fun. It is still hot like in the summer here. Enough ranting because otherwise it will be "hard" on your ears. Sounds like a scary hard trip Heidi. Good job Robert, the first week is always the "hardest". Love you all!

Update

We made it through our first big week of Robert working. It is a challenge for the both of us. Usually they start new nurses with about 4 patients, but he has 11 or 12. One will be discharged this week and he has one for the rest of the week. He thinks he will be getting a few more. This will be another big week, he has a couple of recerts to do.
The boys are growing. Tyson will turn 2 on Sunday and Kaleb will turn 1 on the 21st. Kaleb is learning how to walk and tries quite a bit.
I had some bad luck in WalMart Monday. I went B-day shopping for the boys with the boys while Rob was working. I was checking out and went to use my debit card and it wouldn't read. The cashier tried and tried and tried and it wouldn't read. His supervisor came and tried and she couldn't get it to work. That alone took 5 minutes and of course there was a line behind me. She suspended the order and went to another register and it still wouldn't work. She then tried one more time at a new register and rang up everything up a second time. This time it worked. That took at least 10 minutes. The boys were getting restless and wanted to go home. On the way to WalMart I had a scary guy follow me from our house. I would walk faster and he would speed up. So when I got to an intersection I turned and took a detour to WalMart, it took longer but the guy stopped following me. Then I saw that same guy in WalMart.
The boys love it when it rains, they love to jump and splash in the puddles. The bad part was that is rained so much in such a little time that the drains couldn't keep up and there was some flooding around our apartment complex.
Well I better sign off the boys are fighting, (it is cute and kind of funny).

The sun on Mercury

So, I showed the kids the picture of Mercury.

Haylee said, "Mom, the sun is rising, not setting."

Megan, "Uncle Bill said that it is setting. What makes you think that it is rising?"

Haylee, "because it says mercury_sunrise." (if you click on the picture it enlarges it a bit and puts a caption in the title window at the bottom of the page.)

I don't know Billy, but I think that you may have been out smarted by a third grader!

LRA Teacher

This is a picture of the sun setting on Mercury. The second picture is of my school. My classroom is to the left of the flag.

When Karl mentioned that a professor told a student they were right but forgot to rasise their hand, I thougth that is sometimes me to a tee. Now if I was a college professor I probably would not be doing this. At my school where the students cannot ask questions tactfully because they don't care about learning or respect the teacher, I will sometimes have to go so far as to say no talking for any reason unless you are called upon. Then they receive an infraction if they even whisper to their neighbor. I only resort to this when the class cannot behave. I am so glad that I have the capability to do this at Logan River Academy.

I will sometimes put a student on shutdown. This means they cannot talk or they will be removed from class and receive a class II. As a teacher it seems that I am teaching students how to behave socially, be responsible for their actions, and treat others sometimes more than I teach how condensation works or what makes up a molecule.

I am signing off now. I have just written some emails to students' parents. I want a break from the computer.
