Spring Break

Well, I have never enjoyed Spring break this much. In just 2 days of being home with Cayley all day I have realized 2 things.
#1 I don't ever want to work away from home ever again. We don't really do a whole lot but it is just fun being with her and seeing how she checks up on me to make sure I am not going anywhere. She will be playing with her new easter toys from Grandma V and drop what she is doing, crawl over to me, lay her head on my lap or leg or some other body part, and then go back to her toys. She is getting so big. She is into some 12 M stuff and she still has 3 weeks till she is 1. I love it.

#2 We really need to get our own place and find another babysitter. We love the free grandma daycare but I have really noticed some bad habits Cayley has picked up from her slightly older cousins. All habits I am sure she would have discovered on her own but not for a while such as whining, opening the cupboard with cleaning supplies and freaking out and crawling away when we change her diaper. I know these are all normal baby things but up until last week, Cayley did none of them. Oh well, enough ranting.

I really am loving spring break and we are going to finish the week off with a trip to Las Vegas to visit cousins. I have never been to Vegas to hang out, just drive through. It should be fun.

Ah! the first day of Spring

OK, so it was yesterday. So, a lot happened yesterday. First off, Cristy turned 16!!! Crazy I know, I can't believe my baby sis can now date and drive. News from her, she got extreme highlights in her hair and her friends T.P.'d their house. My parents caught them the first time, they ran off and so my dad turned the lights off as if they were going to bed; and of course, they came back. This time, my parents sat in the living room and just watched. Kinda anti-climactic if you ask me.

Second, I finished my first Quarter of school as a full time teacher. I am not a contracted teacher yet so I have to find a new job for next school year but can't beat $17 an hour to lift weights and run on a treadmill... anyways, I try to keep the grades up to date which in turn makes it feel like I am constantly doing calculations. It is fun though. The 2 other P.E. teachers I work with are very unique in their own way. One of them, Naomi, is amazing and is teaching me so much and the other I feel I am teaching him and he is relying on me to save his grades for him...whatever.

Third, I am starting my Spring break. Yeah!!!! I have been waiting for this for a long time. Unfortunatly, if you remember back a few paragraphs I am an hourly teacher, I do not get paid if I don't work. It is worth being able to spend 9 straight days with Cayley though. I miss her so much during the day. On my computer at school, I have downloaded her adorable portraits and set them for the screen saver. Now, anyone that comes into our office gets to see her. I leave the house at 8:00am (sometimes Cayley is awake when I leave) and I get home around 4:45 or 5:00pm when Cayley is usually waking up from her afternoon nap.

Well, I guess I need to write more often so people will check out our blog. This is pretty fun.

Just Chillin'

I was just hanging out with Cayley and thought I'd say hi. By the way this is a pic of my pinewood derby school bus I made for a church activity. Pretty cool huh! : )

This is our little Cayley. These pictures were taken when she was about 10 months old. Isn't she just a "cutie"!

Hello! Just want to say hi to everyone. This should be fun.
