Labor Day/ Dyson 11 Months

Dyson was so sad because it was rainy all day and we couldn't go to the pool.
very sneaky

SOO Tall
It got sunny and warmed up late afternoon so we went to the park.
Dyson loves the park but he thinks he is big and can do everything by his self.

No fear

Student Teaching

I ended up not being able to move with my original site teacher. My professor wanted me to stay at Washington Elementary where I was originally assigned so I could work with the other student teachers.
So I am now with Ms. Brown in third grade. The student's are great and so cute. I already love them. Ms brown my site teacher there has a very different teaching style than I do, so it is going to be interesting to see how this goes. She is very nice and I think it is going to be a great experience.
My classroom is very diverse we have about 10 Caucasian, 2 black , 1 Polynesian, 1 Armenian, and 10 Hispanic. We have 5 families in our class where the parents do not speak english. At this school about 80% receive free lunch and breakfast. So they are all from low income families. I am very excited to make a difference in their lives through out the year.

Our Sweet Boy / Dyson 10 Months

Very Mischievous!
Trying on his tux before aunt Danielle's Wedding.
He is a big trouble maker always getting into everything.



Dyson knows he is not supposed to touch this so he is very sneaky and does it when no one is looking.
He escapes every time we try and change his clothes.

SO precious!
Big Boy.

Something Exciting

So Derrek left to Boise today to play FOOTBALL for the Boise burn. They are an arena 2 football league. Derrek is going up there to get some experience and film playing arena ball. So as of now he is planning on trying to get a spot on the Blaze or one of the other AFL teams for next year but that won't be starting until January or February.

They have a game this Saturday and Derrek is going to be starting. You can watch the game online at http://www.af2.com/ After you get there then you will click on watch games live and free. Then download the program. You will then go to Channels/ National Conference/ Boise Burn. They will be playing the Spokane Shock. I think the game is going to be at 6:00 Utah time.

If the Burn win they will be in the playoffs if they loose then another team has to loose for them to be able to go to the playoffs. So Derrek is going to be there until they are done.

Go Derrek We Love You!!!

Danielle's Bridal Shower

Saturday My Mom and I threw a Bridal Shower for my sister and it turned out terrific!
Me and my little sis Danielle

My Mom, Danielle and Me

So we played the game "How Well Do You Know Clayton"
Every answer she go wrong she had to put a piece of bubblicious gum in her mouth!

She ended up with 13/ 20. So she had 7 pieces of gum in her mouth.
Dyson is really starting to get scared of people. So Dad had to come pick him up.
We had a contest of which group could make the best wedding dress out of toilet paper. This is the winning team!!


Grandma Seipert and Grandma Hoffmann
Clayton came to open presents with Danielle.
Clayton's Mom is sooo funny she gave them some really fun rather embarrassing gifts that I am sure will come to good use!!
The Bride and Groom to be:)
