Ok, so I know some of you have been wondering what has been going on and I cant believe it has been over a month since my last post! For all of my teacher friends, you know why it has taken so long. The beginning of the year is ridiculous. This year I have transitioned to a private school called U CAN LEARN where I teach students with dyslexia and other slight learning disabilities. Even though I only have 6 students in grades 1-3, I have been so busy with some of the administrative aspects and my students range from a 31/2 year old cognitive level to a 8 year old. But... I love it! Phil is starting his last year at BYU and working on his second major. We will be applying to dental schools this spring so we will keep you posted! He continues to work from home and is beyond busy! We are so lucky to have my mother in law Lela living with us. I know most people think its crazy and totally asking for trouble, but we are so blessed. She has her own space downstairs and spoils us all so much. Lucas loves to be able to spend everyday with her and I love having another female around! With Lela here, my house is always clean, dinner is made and Lucas is so happy. So, needless to say I am spoiled and who wouldn't want their mother in law living with them! I am so appreciative for all the time I get to spend with Lucas now and for all of her help. Shes amazing!
I am going to include some random pictures of the last month or so. Its hope its not too boring but I included them for family to catch up. I promise to be better this next month! I love reading all of your blogs and being able to stay in touch. We are so lucky to have so many wonderful friends in our lives!

Lucas and daddy had a trip to the aquarim in late August before school started. They had such a great time together and bonded with the fish. Lucas went exploring through the caves!
Lucas loves to help, especially with cooking. Lately he is such a chef. Here he is inside our pantry, wearing his apron and "getting the ingredients". I love how much he helps!
Last Sunday, we had a Brazilian feast! My mother-in-law, a friend of ours and I spent 5 hours cooking. We made homemade bread, noodles, lasagne, and pastel (a brazilian hot pocket)! It was so much fun not to mention the food was amazing! I cant wait to do this again and hope to one day share this food with my own family!
These are my ever so adorable students on our first field trip to the farm. They are all so much fun and I love them!
We had family pictures taken at Wheeler Farm. Suzy is so amazing at taking pictures and we can hardly wait for our pictures to get edited. These are pictures that my in-laws took from the sidelines. They are cute and we really did have a good time. Lucas was pretty cooperative. We will post the pictures from Suzy as soon as we get them!
Still so in love after 3 1/2 years. I am so lucky. I have the best husband and an adorable son! Life couldnt get better!

Amie,
I was nearly in tears reading your post because it made me miss you so much! I miss teaching next door to you!!!! It is sad that we only live a half hour apart and never see each other. We should plan a play date so that our little ones can meet. Lexie might actually be able to keep up with Lucas soon...she's walking all around the house now! I am glad you are enjoying your job. What a big change to only have 6 kids! Even if they do have learning disabilities, to only have 6 to worry about sounds wonderful!! Seriously call me and we will take the kids out to do something fun. You are the busy one, I am just here and available whenever, so let me know what you think!
