A little late on posting this since it did become "Facebook official" over two weeks ago:) We are thrilled that Payton is FINALLY going to be a big sister in January. I am 15 weeks today. Payton keeps saying that she wants a little sister, so we shall see. :)<br />Pietigshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16415342961467956557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818099915565572644.post-61108824619194033932013-05-21T17:20:00.002-07:002013-05-21T17:20:40.549-07:00Congratulations, Chad!After 9 years of coaching middle school cross country, Chad is moving up to the high school! He will be the new MHS boys' cross country coach. He replaces long time coach, Tim Bell, and takes over a prestigious program. He is very excited and has already started writing workouts! :) <br />

<br />
Last Sunday was Mother's Day and we traveled to Knoxville for supper with my parents, Aaron and Jess and family, and my grandparents. We had a lovely meal and it was nice to spend time together.<br />
<br />
Monday night Payton had her st<br />
udio dance rehearsal.<br />
<br />
Tuesday night we were at Chad's track awards banquet.<br />
<br />
Wednesday night Chad had to work the Hershey Track Meet (youth meet) and then we had the State qualifiers over for spaghetti supper.<br />
<br />
Thursday night Chad was at State Track Meet.<br />
<br />
Friday night Chad was at State Track Meet and Payton had her staging dance rehearsal.<br />
<br />
Saturday Chad was at State Track Meet and Payton had 2 recitals--1:00 and 7:00. (That was a lonnnggg day!)<br />
<br />
Sunday we went to Sesame Street Live--so fun!<br />
<br />
Last night Payton had dance pictures.<br />
<br />
<br />
So.....tonight is the first night in awhile that we are actually home and able to relax a little. This is such a crazy time of year for us! We are both busy trying to get assessments done and grades in. 7 more days of school! We are ready for summer vacay!<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of our fun happenings!<br />

Payton's May Day "baskets" that she took to daycare. I wasn't in the mood for messing with red solo cups, pipe cleaners, and popcorn. So we went with bubbles. You can never go wrong with bubbles, right? Although I did do popcorn, M&Ms, and starbursts for my students. I just got already popped popcorn and we put them in baggies, so less mess. <br />

These next two pictures were taken during our May snow storm--so bizarre! I let Relay out that morning and he looked at me like I was crazy. He loves to play in the snow--in the winter. But this dog must have known that it was May and it DOES NOT snow in May!!</div>

This picture cracks me up. She went to bed one night in these black church shoes. She is obsessed with these babies. We don't allow her to wear them to daycare, but they are the first thing she asks for when we get home. They are so worn out, too small, and pretty dangerous since they are so slick. She had them on in the mall one day and slipped twice because they have no traction. I had them in the Goodwill pile the other day and the stinker found them and put them on. :)</div>

The part that really got me was the elementary school. I just can't help but think that could happen to any one of us. We practice tornado drills all the time, but you never really think that it will happen to you. I read about a teacher who laid on top of 6 students to protect them. I know that is what you do as teachers--anything to keep your students safe. I can't imagine how those parents felt as they had to wait in a nearby church as rescue crews searched for their children. It makes me sick to think about. My heart breaks for all those involved. Sending lots of love and prayers to OK!<br />

Have you ever read this book? I had to read it in college and then again a couple years ago as a book study at school. It's about dealing with change...something I don't handle well. Ever since I was a kid, I've never dealt well with change. So, when I was approached by my principal back in January about moving up to 3rd grade next year, I was quite skeptical. I didn't want to leave my classroom, my 2nd grade curriculum which I love, and everything that I have known to be familiar for the past 5 years. After much prayer, I have realized that this could actually be a good change. Last week the official announcement was made to the staff and I made the announcement to parents today in my newsletter. I am certainly sad to be leaving 2nd grade, but excited for the challenge that awaits me. I have always believed that everything happens for a reason, and I think there is a reason this opportunity has presented itself. So, it looks like my cheese will be moving up to the 3rd floor at Franklin Elementary next fall! :)Pietigshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16415342961467956557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818099915565572644.post-79777305047414612622013-05-02T16:51:00.001-07:002013-05-02T16:51:23.802-07:00Really, Mother Nature?!Mother Nature, do you know not know that it's May 2nd?! <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj44Ojj3uQ9sCnUDvArrkPvEONcxxJ589eTIc4CkHnSFif5ikgobzUCmuyEAFi3MNBil7e30AtzM6KyoALQPoAPc3yTrqRAxYCQvnR0-50yw6KSvhAW4PUN2aoHVx5eyho3B2ribO_7-sZn/s640/blogger-image-1479144954.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj44Ojj3uQ9sCnUDvArrkPvEONcxxJ589eTIc4CkHnSFif5ikgobzUCmuyEAFi3MNBil7e30AtzM6KyoALQPoAPc3yTrqRAxYCQvnR0-50yw6KSvhAW4PUN2aoHVx5eyho3B2ribO_7-sZn/s640/blogger-image-1479144954.jpg" /></a></div>Pietigshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16415342961467956557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818099915565572644.post-20529131915188695402013-04-14T18:00:00.000-07:002013-04-14T18:00:04.410-07:00Payton's First Movie in the TheaterWe've been wanting to take Payton to a movie in the theater for awhile now.

Although Payton really seemed to enjoy herself and laughed quite a bit at the movie, I'm not sure what she liked more--the movie or the giant tub of popcorn! :) (By the way, that popcorn was only a <em>medium</em>. I'm thinking next time we go for the small!) <br />

Payton was excited to see that the Easter Bunny had stopped at our house and left a basket. He also left some eggs in the living room that she enjoyed finding. Sadly, we didn't do an outdoor egg hunt this year. We decided to forego that, since it was still a little chilly, and just did a quick indoor one. We went to church service and then headed to Baxter to my parents' house, where my mom had a delicious meal waiting for us! After dinner, we discovered that the Easter Bunny had stopped at Nana and Papa's house too, so we opened up our baskets there. We had a wonderful day being with family and celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior.<br />

It was so nice to be able to have some much needed relaxation and family time! Here are some photos of how we spent the last week.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Monday</strong> we slept in, stayed in our jammies for a good portion of the morning, and had a pretty lazy day. We did manage to be a little productive and made some "Bunny Bait." :)<br />

Chad's is February 15th, Aaron's is the 18th, my dad's is the 19th, my grandma's is the 22nd and my grandparents' anniversary is February 10th. Add Valentine's Day in the mix to all that, and it gets to be a pretty crazy month!<br />
<br />
Two years ago we decided that since we have so many birthdays in February, we should go somewhere fun to celebrate. So, we decided on Honey Creek Resort. It is always a fun weekend that we look forward to. This year was extra special because we had a new family member join us...Little Miss Harper. After we check out on Sunday, we always stop at my grandparents' house since we are already in their neck of the woods.<br />
<br />
We had a wonderful weekend. Quality time spent with family--nothing better!<br />

We had one the day before Christmas break, one the end of January, and then today. We made up the first two on MLK Day and President's Day, but this day will be tacked onto the end of the year--boo! Crazy all this snow we are getting. Last week that storm was so hyped up and then...nothing. This week we don't hear any news of a snow storm and then...BAM! The snow just keeps falling! I sure do love me some snow days, but this one was not so great because I ended up going into school to work anyway. I was gone last Wednesday and this Monday with a nasty sinus infection that wouldn't get better, so I had a lot to get caught up on. Anyway, we did get to sleep in and Chad made his usual snow-day breakfast: chocolate chip pancakes! Yum!<br />

</div>
Yesterday we went to visit Aaron, Jess, Kaylee, and Baby Harper. We hadn't seen them since our visit to them in the hospital, so we were long overdue for some snuggles. :) She is such a love. Payton thinks so too. She was such a good helper, and loved helping me give Harper her bottle. I asked Aaron and Jess if I could take her home. They said they wanted to keep her. :)<br />

Chad had his snowpants lying on the guest bed, and apparently Relay had climbed up on the bed and somehow got tangled up in the snowpants. We left for church around 8:45 and then did our usual Walmart run afterwards, so we didn't get home until around 12:30 PM. Not sure how long he had been tangled, but he didn't seem to mind too much. What a silly dog. :)</div>

Over Christmas break, we ordered pizza from Papa Murphy's one night. I had heard about these pizzas that the kids can make, so we decided to let Payton try. She enjoyed putting on the toppings, and as you can see from the last picture, was thorougly impressed with the final product :)</div>

The first hill we tried was pretty lame, but then my dad came out and pointed us in the right direction to a better hill. Last fall, he mowed a path down this hill to make for better sledding conditions. It was a fun afternoon!<br />

Payton insisted that she was going to go sledding with just her pajama shirt, underwear, boots, and purse. :)</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Seems that her attire is not the appropriate size. I mistakingly bought those gloves in a 6X--not sure why I didn't look at the tag or notice that they were way too big! And the snowpants are a size too small. I bought them last winter and we didn't go sledding once, so I decided to keep them for another winter. </td></tr>

I am so happy for my brother and Jess. She was very sick at the beginning of her pregnancy with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperemesis_gravidarum">Hyperemesis gravidarum</a> (the same thing Kate Middleton was hospitalized for) and it was pretty scary for awhile. Luckily, that only lasted for the 1st trimester, and she was much better for the rest of her pregnancy. We are so excited to welcome Harper Grace to the family. She is very loved!</div>

For the first time in several years, we stayed in for NYE and I was totally ok with that. I have to say, I will not miss the year 2012. With two miscarriages, one in June and the other in November, I would just like to put this year behind us. We met with a fertility specialist last week and feel really good about the direction we are heading. The doctor seemed confident that we would find some answers and get on the right track. Chad and I welcomed the New Year with a toast and a hopeful outlook that 2013 will be a better year!</div>

Due to a snow day, our Christmas vacation started a day early. I think we stayed in our jammies until 2PM that day. Gotta love snow days! <br />
<br />
Our Christmas celebrations started off with Chad's family on the 23rd. We had everyone over to our house. We don't get together that often with his side since everyone is scattered out throughout the state, so it's always nice to be able to catch up. On Christmas Eve morning our first stop was...the clinic so Payton could get her stitches out. Luckily, it took like 3 seconds for the doctor to remove them. :) That evening we went to church at Bethany, the church I grew up in, and then my parents had their annual Christmas Eve gathering. Last year, for the first time ever, I missed out on church services and my parents' gathering. I was so disappointed to miss it. I know I've said it before, but singing "Silent Night" by candlelight is just magical. That is <em>by far</em> my favorite part of Christmas Eve.<br />

On Christmas morning we opened presents and then hung out in our jammies for most of the morning--it was great! Santa was very good to all of us. His big gifts for Payton were the American Girl doll Bitty Baby and a Leap Frog tag reader. She is so into dolls right now, and Bitty Baby was a big hit. She carried Bitty around most of the day and was very diligent about feeding Bitty her bottle. :) We left around 3:00 for my grandparents' house in Knoxville. We had a delicious meal (as always) and then opened presents. This was the first Christmas without my uncle, so that was definitely hard for us all. He absolutely loved Christmas. He would stagger his present-opening throughout the day, and the gifts would always be something dealing with a tractor. <br />
