Easter/ Dyson 18 months

Happy Easter!!
The Easter Bunny didn't forget Dyson.

There was a trail of eggs that led him to his basket.

"BALL!!!!!"

Dyson's favorite things he got were these little bouncy balls.

He got a BIKE!! He is actually doing pretty well but still working on doing it all by his self.

We went to Grandma's for Breakfast and he had another Easter basket waiting for him.

Dyson got to do another Easter egg hunt, and uncle Chandler hid the eggs in some pretty tricky places.

Then we went to Grandpa Seipert's. WOW what a surprise, Dyson is so lucky, another basket!

Dyson trying to figure out how this thing works.

We had such a fun Easter!

Easter Egg Hunt

So we decided to take Dyson to largest Easter egg hunt in Utah, at the Bee's stadium, since we just live down the street. Let me tell you bigger is not always better. And yes there were 20,000 eggs but there were probably 20,000 people as well. We had to be there at 7:30 which is way too early to begin with.
We waited forever. It was supposed to start at 8:00 but it was more like 8:20. Dyson was dieing because he wanted to start right when we got in. By the time, it was time to start, he was soo MAd he just wanted to go down the slide and forget about the eggs.

He did get a few eggs.

Finally the slide something he was happy about. Next year i think we are going to find the smallest Easter egg hunt in Utah.

Dying Easter Eggs/ Dyson 18 Months

Dyson is such a good helper! He did everything for making these eggs. He filled the pan with water, put the eggs in, added salt and waited till they cooked. He also did all the dying and decorating his self.

Dyson's Masterpieces!

Dyson Is A Year And A Half

Our sweet boy isn't a baby anymore! We took Dyson to his 18 month appointment and he is still very tall and skinny. He is 34 1/2 inches and in the 94% and he weighs 23 lbs 14 oz and is in the 22%. He got his shot and all he said is "ouch" and didn't even cry. He was just worried about the sucker the nurse had for him.

A few fun facts about Dyson.

1. You will never catch Dyson without his green blankie near by.
2. Dyson's favorite foods are pickles, hotdogs, pizza, and hamburger helper.
3. He loves to color and colors on anything and everything.
4. He loves music and is becoming a break dancer all on his own.
5. He has 2 chores, emptying the silverware from the dishwasher and putting the pop in the fridge.
6. He is very independent and wants to do everything himself. He refuses to have help with getting food on his fork or spoon. If you try to help him he will freak out, even if he is starving, and not eat.
7. He talks non stop and his favorite sayings are "Stuck" "Whats that".
8. When he is ready to get out, he gets his shoes and coat and brings them to me. I help him put them on and then he gets my shoes and coat. He is very smart he always finds my matching shoes and even tries to put them on my feet.
9. He loves baths and if you tell him it is time for a bath he runs as fast as he can to his room and gets all his bath stuff and takes it to the bathroom. You can never say the bath word accidentally or your in for some real trouble.
10. He climbs like a monkey on everything.
11. Dyson Thinks he is a chef and gets all the pots, spoon and containers out. He puts things in them, and pours imaginary stuff in to the pots, stirs them and puts the lid on. He even pretends to eat it.
    

Dyson We Love You Soo MUCH !!!

I'm Finally Finished

I though I would be the happiest person alive to be finished student teaching, but its a little bit bitter sweet. I will miss my crazy third graders! I have become a much stronger person and better teacher because of this experience and I am truly thankful.

Here are the five surviving student teachers of Washington Elementary.
I can not believe its already over. There were a few times I wanted to quit and I really didn't think I would make it through, but I persevered. On Friday when I said my goodbye to my class I was very sad and of course I was crying. These kids are amazing and I love each one of them. They taught me a lot in so many different ways. They each wrote me a letter saying thank you and how much they will miss me. That was such a great gift from them.

Here I am with My site teacher Ms. Brown

My wonderful Class!!!!

Jabber Box/ Dyson 16 Months

Our Sweet Boy is growing up! He is a non stop talker. Half the time you can't understand what he is saying, but it's so cute. He is even talking in sentances and it is so fun to understand whats going on in that mind of his.
Dyson loves to get Daddy's hat and wear it.




Dyson Loves to copy Dad , so he gets pop cans out of the fridge and pretends to drink them.

He loves ELMO and gives him kisses! Adorable:)

Valentines Weekend/ Dyson 16 Months

Derrek and I went on our valentines date Friday night and my Dad watched Dyson it was so much fun.

Derrek helped Dyson with a valentine SURPRISE for me!!

Dyson always sleeps with his arms up it is soo cute.

On Saturday we took Dyson out for his Valentines Day activity!! We took him to the Clark Planetarium. We watched 3D Under The SEA. Dyson really liked the movie at first but could not sit for that long. But he loved the atmosphere and being there.

After the movie we got to explore:)

Student Teaching

These kids are great! I have so much fun with them. But let me tell you it is HARD WORK!!! I have many students that have a hard family life and you can tell the second you walk into the classroom. There are many days where I really want to strangle them. In the end it is all worth it when they actually start to make progress. I only have 8 weeks left I can't believe it. It truly is going by fast.

I know this pic is bad but it is the only one I have. It is from the beginning of the year so we have about four students not in this picture and about four that have moved.

Superbowl/ Dyson 16 Months

Dyson Is a COWBOYS fan!! To bad they didn't make it to the Superbowl.

Dyson LOVES Guitar Hero!!!

The boys played before, at half time, and after.
