Can I just brag for a minute?

Well the semester is done and I could not be happier about it. I love going to school and learning but I don't love the added stress if puts on my family. My poor house has been neglected terribly and today I swept AND mopped the floors....even the bathroom floors. I cleaned the bathrooms a few days ago and I don't even want to think about how long it had been since I had. But that is not what I am bragging about.

I took 6 classes this semester, two of them block classes so five each block. Well my final grades are as follows......
Literacy practicum- A
Career explorations (I needed one more credit) A
Toddler Lab A
Social Studies methods A
Science methods B+
Math methods B

That is what I am BRAGGING about!

Thanks to my family and friends who gave me words of encouragement through out the semester. I couldn't have done it without you.

Also to my wonderful hubby so supports me in my desire to graduate college. Thanks Cameron!

I will go to school these next two semesters and then student teach in the fall and graduate in December. I am going to have a huge party to celebrate this momentous occasion. By the time I graduate I will have been in school for 6 and 1/2 YEARS! I could almost be a doctor:)

Sorry there are no pictures I will update about everything that has gone on in the last few months after Christmas.
I love you all and have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

SIGH...

One project and one final down...two more finals to go! Maybe I will be able to catch up on my posting before next semester starts. SIGH!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MCKENNA

McKenna's 1st birthday was yesterday and we had a lot of fun with her eating her cake and opening her presents but I will post the pictures later. We were able to go to Utah this weekend and celebrate with G&G Gurr and family and we just got home. But I thought I would just put a little post saying happy birthday to my Baby Girl. We love you!!!

I thought it would be fun to do a time line of before birth...(minutes before we walked to the hospital.)
right after birth...and today...

Toe concussion

Okay ugly picture, I know, but it tells the story. Yes that is my toe, if you look really close on the sides of the nail you can see blue. That is a bruise. The dark spot in the middle is blood.

So here is the story...
A little background first... In my family we have what we like to call Brandi-isms. Background done. Well I told Brandi that I had a toe concussion because a bell (you know the ones that have the handle and the little thing in the middle that dings) fell on my toe when I was putting McKenna in her car seat at the day care. I have no idea how it fell I just know it did. Proof is right here. And it HURT LIKE HECK. Oh man did it hurt, and it still does. So when I was done telling Brandi about what happened she asked me if I was just kidding about my toe having a concussion. I laughed (I am still laughing about it) and told her I was kidding and then she goes "I was wondering how you found out that you had a toe concussion." So that is my funny story. I love you Brandi! I just had to share because it made me laugh so dang hard.

This just in!!!

So McKenna is walking short distances. Like from mommy to daddy short but she is still walking. She will be 11 months old tomorrow i can't believe how fast time flies. We were able to get a video of her walking. She sure knows what the good stuff is, we were bribing her with an ice cream bar apparently it worked.

Oh and check out this blog, it is called the Polka-dotdaisy,http://www.thepolka-dotdaisy.blogspot.com/. She has some really cute things on there and she is doing a give away.
