Starting a new chapter and working on an old one!

So Chad and I celebrated our 12th anniversary last week and it was nothing short of spectacular....or you could just say it was a plain, old ordinary day at our house.  I came home from a fun weekend of playing with my niece Meggane and her husband Osiris and Chad and the boys were coming home from a fun weekend of cowboying!  We did get to eat dinner together though and that is a rare occurance anymore.
I was cleaning through the huge amounts of junk and stuff that has accumulated there throughout the past year with practicum and student teaching!  Wow, can anyone say light a match!  It was kinda fun though to relive some of the fun activities that we did in the classes and it made me a little sad at the same time.  I have great stuff to start with as a teacher from my supporting teachers, but unfortunately, no job!  Oh well, I did find this super cute journal entry of Abby's from this last year and thought it was very appropriate since it was right around our annniversary.


It says:  I Love MY MoM and dad
Thae ARe in Love.

We must be doing something right!!  They say you shouldn't hide your affections for one another from your kids because it gives them a good sense of stability in the home if their parents show love for one another.
Enough said.  I love my guy and we will soon be showing our love for one another again when we have our next baby!!  WE ARE PREGNANT!!  Oh my goodness, what a surprise!!  We have an appointment in a week or so and hopefully can actually find out a delivery date but as of right now it is just the middle of March sometime.

Anyway, on to the part of the title where we are starting the next new chapter of our lives.  Gabe got him some braces, and to top that off,  he is now playing middle school football.  We are talking pads, helmet, mouthguard, refs and rules kind of football.  So great and Chad is helping coach.  I love being able to go watch now and see the two of them at work!!!  Great things are to come from this!!  Here are a few pics of his first game that they won...or should i say totally kicked some sweet, little bootie!!













I'm pretty sure the next post will be about the kids and their new teachers.  Abby got Mrs. Henrie!!!  Yeah for us!!!  Zack got Mrs. Helsten.  None of my kids have had her so far so we will see how it goes.  Gabe is entering uncharted territory for us by going into Middle School.  We go tonight for his orientations so hopefully I will understand what to expect a little more after that is over.  Well,  tata for now. I have bonbons to go eat...or some laundry and picking out my interview outfit for tomorrow.  Manti Elementary has some paraeducator job openings and they called this morning.  Wish me luck!! 

Here are a few bonus picks of Abby and I on our fun little weekend away having breakfast at IHOP, a pic of Zack just cause he didn't make it into this post and I love him, and a shoutout to my sweet nephew that had his big 2nd birthday this last weekend!








I do believe our present was "A HIT"!!  Haha, happy birthday little guy!!
