Posting for heritage sake

When Jase (my nephew) is older, I am showing this to any and all girlfriends. :)

Today we were talking about diapers and I said something to the extent of how poopy baby diapers stink.  Jase then said: "Well, then why don't they put air conditioner in them?  Someone should make diapers with air conditioner already in them."  HA!

THEN, later he was talking about having a job of being an unventor--you know, people who make new things for people to use.

THEN, to top it off, he was helping Claire play with a  Disney toy (it's one of those where you push the button and a character pops up then you push it closed and push the button to make it pop again) and he wanted us to guess where "Pluno" was.

Oh, THEN Kory said something to me jokingly and I gave him a look.  My MIL said: "Oh, did you see the look she gave him.  He deserved it."  Jase asked: "What book did she give him?"

Check your hearing aid old man!!!!!

Father's Day

(I posted this in my teacher blog as well, it's slightly different than this one)

Since school is out before Father's Day here in Utah, I don't get the chance to have another giggle from my first graders.  (See post about mother's day)  But I can only imagine what they might say.

It's probably good that we don't make it to Father's Day during the school year.  Father's Day is a lot harder and trickier (as a teacher) to celebrate.  Many of the students at my school on only live with mom.  Sad, yes.  True, yes.  And there's nothing I can do about it.

The local newspaper here "The Daily Herald" printed at least 3 different articles about fathers and the deep, positive influence they have on a child's life.  I read through one of those articles and was truly touched by the author's words and grateful that I grew up and still have a two-parent home.  I'm thankful that my daughter has a daddy who loves the heck out of her and I hope when she is older that she realizes how blessed she is to have a GOOD male role model in her home.  The article I read basically pointed out how there aren't enough good dads in this world, but to those who are good dads, BLESS YOU and THANK YOU!  It's quite good for how short it is.  I think I might keep it.

Anyway, this is kind of not a school related post, but enjoy it anyway.

Here are some pictures of the babe with 3 of the most influential and great men in her life.  I don't seem to have many pictures of her with her Papa.  These are all when she was younger. 

 With Daddy, sound asleep!

 Meeting Great-Grandpa for the first time.

 With Grandpa (my dad).  I LOVE her spikey hair.


Happy Father's Day!

Since I'm totally getting a high from couponing, though I am still a rookie, thought I would share this link.  I love this website.

Love this Girl!

My little sprout!  I was finally able to find some elastics that were super stretchy.  She didn't protest at all when I created her sprout.

How big is Claire?  SO BIG!! She posed like this on her own.  Just want to squeeze her all the time.

I'm thinking of entering her in a baby contest.  Still debating for the Strawberry Days contest and/or the Freedom Festival Contest. We'll see.
