School

So some of you know and maybe some of you don't know, I went back to school last January. I quit taking college classes in the spring semester of 2001. I have regretted not finishing so I decided to sign up with University of Phoenix and Axia their community college. I have finished 3 clocks or 6 classes and I am in my 4th block (2 classes for 9 weeks at a time). I will finish in November and then move onto some of my Bachelors Degrees classes on November 3. I do get burnt out but I need to look at the bigger picture. One day I will finish and finally have my degree. I know that my dad will be so proud of me when this is done. One thing about online classes is that you have to write research papers for each final. I HATE to write research papers with a passion. I dropped out of Eng 102 because of this reason at MCC. So I have muddled through six papers and I have managed to continue my high school grades into college some 8 years later. I currently have a 3.67 GPA and I think that is pretty good for a big procrastinator. Yes I wait until the research papers are due to write them and I know about them for 9 weeks. That's me! I have 35 credits and need 27 more. Right now I am taking Algebra (yuck) and Teaching as a Profession AED 201. I was a little upset about the Math part, in high school I took Pre Cal but Gilbert Chandler gave me 5 credits not 6so I needed to make up for that 1 stinken credit. I thought I had been set, but oh well. At least things are coming back as I look at the problems. Anyways I am proud of myself for going back to school and I hope I can finish soon.

This is HILARIOUS!!!!

Sleepy Rayle

Yeah, so Rayle didn't make it through dinner tonight, guess we should have put him down for a nap. Please excuse the stupid commercials in the background, although it kind of adds to the video. LOL

FFF

Okay so here is my first Favorite Foto Friday picture. We were at Universal Studios last summer and I had to have this picture of Teagan. It is so cute

Thanks Allie!

Okay so I love this Blog thing and wanted something different. So where better to start then Allison Brown's layouts. She does a wonderful job, and is very talented. I wish I could figure out how to create something so beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to make wonderful layouts for the rest of us non- scrappy chicks!

Helping in the Kitchen

So I love to be in the kitchen (most of the time) and I really feel that my boys should know a thing or two about cooking. I want them to be great husbands and make up special dinners for their wives someday. Any way Teagan, I think is a little OCD, he hates to be dirty. So what better way to get over his issue than to make some Indian Fried Bread. We went camping a few weeks back and he remembered that I told him it was okay to be dirty. So when we were working with the dough he brought that up. It is funny that a little boy is concerned with getting dirty. Rayle I don't think even notices. He could stay dirty forever and not care. He probably is going to be one of those "stinky" boys that the teacher will have to write home about. Anyways the boys did a wonderful job. And a huge plus Teagan ate the entire Fried Bread. If you know Teagan, he is a lot like me and very picky! This meal is my all time favorite so I am glad he liked it. Before when I have made it he has only eaten the outside around the beans and cheese. He asked, "Mommy have we had this before?" I said, "yes and you liked it." (not really but if I tell him that good luck trying to get him to try it.) "When did I have it?" Teagan asked. "Oh we had it a few months ago." "Oh when I was 3 Mommy?" Yep when you were three. He is so funny about age now. He can't wait to start school. He tells me all the time when I am 5 that's when I get to go to school. Yes I only have one more year. I don't know how I will ever be able to handle that. So dinner was a success and the boys did great. Teagan helped and Rayle made a mess. But hey I make a mess every time I make the meal too. Note to self: when little boys are helping, put away each ingredient after each use or extras will be added, also only have one ingredient on the table because it will get crazy. Also leftover Fried Bread make great mini pizzas. I used them instead of pita bread for a pesto pizza recipe from a Pampered Chef recipe tonight. So good!!!!!!

Aaahhhh why I hate Mosquitoes!

So yesterday the boys were outside in the wind playing while I was grilling up some dinner. Brian said oh their fine the wind is blowing they will not get bit. And here is what poor Teagan looks like today. The entire right side of his eye brow is swollen. Poor kid! Of course we were calling him Igor or Tegor (Brian was calling him this). I hope the swelling goes down soon. I hate those dumb little bugs.
