Santa Fun Run Photo Op

Because I'm real into fitness, here's the 3030 prepping for the 5K Santa Run. Stretching is an integral part of the process.


Fully decked out in Santa gear. Facial hair looks fantastic on the 3030.


Kader also caught the vision of the Santa Run.


More stretching. I'm taking the 5K very seriously.


Finishing Lap 1 inspires a hearty raising of the roof.


Paigmy finishes the 5K.


Marianne comes in soon after in a full sprint.


Exhausted and surprised that I ran 5K. This may be the longest distance I have run in my entire laugh. Once again, I'm interested in fitness.

happy birthday, stister!




P.S. Happy birthday, Kels! I love love love you, my stister.

Halloween

Scary faces for their scary pumpkins that we decorated for the holiday. Notice the handiwork of the spider and the spider on the wall in the background. Thanks, Mommala!


Their happy 2nd grade faces with the pumpkins.


I had them write descriptions about their pumpkins like they were real people, and this was what one of the students wrote: This guy is not an ordinary guy. He sleeps in the day he attacks in the night you will not like it he will give you a fright. Bday Oct. 31st 2009 Booooooo Aaaaaaaaah


Dressed up for the school's Halloween Parade.


More costumes

The kids in uniform are "fouled soccer players."

On another note, my grandpa passed away earlier this week (scuba diving in Hawaii--whaaaaat?), so I will be in Oregon next week. If you're in Oregon, maybe we should hang out. Give me a call.

trash day

At home mom and dad are always there to remind me when Trash Day is. In Utah, seeing as I am supposed to be a responsible adult, I have to remind myself. Turns out I'm not good at remembering things, and neither are Paige and Marianne. It also turns out that when you forget to put your trash out on the street, the trash men don't take it. And when your trash (i.e. meat) is left in your garage for two weeks, you might run into the following problem: maggots. I have one word for this problem: EW. How do you clean up said problem? 
1. Put on appropriate maggot-cleaning attire. For some reason this includes sweatshirts and spandex. 
2. Spray maggots with your strongest cleaning chemicals. 


3. Get someone else to find a way to empty your trash can. Andrew may have sat in the trunk while he held on the trash can so Paige and I could drive the car to a nearby dumpster. What a trooper.


Moral of the story: Remember Trash Day.

the 3030


At the 3030 we grade hundreds of papers on a love sac

We eat cake right out of the pan.

We grill pizzas.

We make delicious enchiladas

And have perfected the art of the self portrait.


We wear colors that pop

And stir punch with large knives.

And drive 65 mph down the freeway like this:

Needless to say, the 3030 is the place to be

FYI

I got a job (insert sigh of relief). Starting later this week, I will be a second grade teacher at Rose Creek Elementary School. This means that I will be in Provo for another year. Here's to year five.

rah rah sis-boom-bah

Unearthing old  cheerleading uniforms proved to be entertaining. It's comforting that we can still fit in them. Kelsey and Amy=real skinny



Lucy enjoys being screamed at through the megaphone. Go! Fight! Win!


Lucy magnifies the sound of her breathing. Why yell through the megaphone when you can breathe heavily with your nose? Lucy=future cheerleader for sure
