Pictures, FINALLY

Well, I only have 3 more days in my long term (tomorrow and then 2 B days next week) and while there were fun things about teaching again, I am glad to have a break. I know now that I am not organized enough to be able to teach full time and have a baby (or more). Subbing is perfect for now! We haven't been too healthy here this week either - I don't have much of a voice, Kylan is a little stuffy, and poor Tim has a fever, aches all over and has a headache. It's just that time of year!

The view I've had for the last 3 weeks; classic Kylan

Other news here is that Kent gets home in THREE weeks from today. I can't even tell you how happy I am and excited. I can't wait for Ky to meet his uncle Kentie! Plus, it feels like he has been gone FOREVER!! Kent could always fix anything, so now anything that isn't working right at my Dad's house or office he just says he is waiting for Kent to get home to fix (Janet doesn't appreciate the back door not working right, but she'll have to wait) and since my washer broke, it would be great for him to be home now so that he can help us do some rewiring in our garage so that we can have a full size washer and dryer and not have to buy another stackable. Plus, I just miss him too much!

Pics from Billy's game this week - drinking from grandma's Sonic drink!

Another week down one more to go . . . and then . . .

SO I have been hoping to get a picture of Ky sitting at Mr. Billet's desk to put with this, but either Kylan is cranky or I forget my camera everytime I take him to work on stuff after school. Oh well. Things are going good - busy, but good. Mr. Billet will be back for "A" days next week (his AP class is on this day) and I will still be doing the "B" day, but that's fine since its the O hour day so I get to leave at lunch.
I haven't felt too great today, and Kylan hasn't either, so right now he is sleeping and I am supposed to be doing my powerpoints for tomorrow, but I would really love to be asleep also! I may be crazy, but I am actually going to do another long term, but this time hopefully not quite as long and for Kelly, who I student taught with. She is so organized and since I teach a lot like her it will be much easier . . . I hope!!
Well, that's all for now. Hopefully I will get a picture on here soon!
P.S. Kylan is showing some interest in walking finally. For about a half hour this afternoon all he did was stand up by himself (without holding onto anything, very funny to watch since he sticks his butt in the air and then stands up with his legs really far apart) and then hold on to my hands and walk. He will take a step by himself between my nightstand and bed, but that's as brave as he has been. I'm sure he will be walking before I know it though!

Pig for Punishment!

So, the new principal at the High School is awesome (she is whipping those kids into shape, but is only here a semester), however today at nutrition break I guess the kids were throwing snow balls, so since past punishments didn't seem to be working (shoveling the walks if caught), it was announced that there will be no nutrition break tomorrow - good idea, but when am I supposed to have a "nutrition break" or more importantly go to the bathroom?! Oh well, hopefully the kids will stop throwing snow, and at least tomorrow will be the end of week 1! Only 2 more to go (possibly 3, lets pray for 2)!

Christmas, New Years and all other Updates

Well, my new power cord finally arrived (it took 15 days to get here, when I had paid more for 2 day shipping), so I am finally updating my blog because I know I won't have time in another couple of days, so lets start at the beginning. . .

CHRISTMAS was awesome! We spent Christmas Eve with the Schank Family. A smaller group this year since everyone was here for Thanksgiving, but still tons of fun. Christmas Day was spent with both families. The best part of the day (for me anyway) was getting to talk to our two missionaries. We talked to Kentie first and then Carly a couple hours later. They are both doing great and it was an emotionally as it usually is due to the fact that Carly has only been gone a couple of months and Kent will be home in SIX weeks (he started his last transfer this week). Tim's family got a Wii which I still haven't played yet, but looks like tons of fun. A couple days after Christmas we had a couple good snow storms and were actually able to make a snowman in our front yard. All the Sorensen's helped at Lunch time after eating at our house, it was tons of fun.

NEW YEARS EVE we went out to dinnner with Gav, Rayanne and Bradon and then watched a movie at our house. Tim, Ky and I were asleep by about 10:30, but poor Gav and Rayanne ended up in the emergency room when Bradon had an allergic reaction to something - it just so happened that he had eaten about every food you would typically have a reaction to that day. Poor kid!

OTHER UPDATES:

Kylan is now 10 months - I don't know where the time has gone. He is turning more and more into a little boy. He crawls like a pro and can stand up by himself in the middle of the room, however walking doesn't seem to interest him at all. He has starting talking a little - he says mom, dad, "ut-oh" and "hi" while waving. He "talks" all the time, so who knows what else he is saying. The toilet thing is going well still. He doesn't like to go in his diaper, so if we are really busy and I don't get him on the toilet he will go a little bit many many times during the day, if I am good about putting him on the toilet he will go once or twice all day (poop). He will always pee everytime I put him on. I'm thinking this is going to help for full out training!

I know this is long, but it may be our last update for awhile. I am doing a long term sub job (3-4 weeks) for a teacher at the high school who is having his hip replaced. While I am really excited to be back in the classroom, I can't help worrying that Ky will think I have abandoned him and just keep thinking about how much I will miss him. I start on Tuesday. Wish me luck!

We hope each of you had a wonderful Christmas and is having a great New Year!

P.S. There will finally be another girl in the Sorensen family - Gavin and Rayanne found out this week that they will be having a girl in June! We are SOOO excited!

Computer Problems

Hopefully I will be able to do a Christmas post soon! However, I have had some computer problems. The AC adapter for my laptop was somehow cut and I didn't realize that my computer wasn't charging until the battery was about dead. A new has been ordered and should arrive soon! More goodness to come!
