Alex's First Words
As you've read we took Alex out in the snow the other day. To our surprise, we heard his first real attempt to speak.
You've got to try this at Blabberize.com. Pretty funny and perhaps the only way we'll get Alex to talk!

Snow Day
Friday night we down to Utah County in the rain, little did we know the scene we'd awake to yesterday morning. The entire yard was covered in white. I guess by the time it ended we had about 6 inches of freshly fallen snow; our first real storm of the season. It was great! Since it was a Saturday we spent a good part of the morning watching the snow fall and then it was time to put on our clothes and play.
At first Alex wasn't sure what to make of the cold powder. He actually started to cry as we headed outside. As soon as we started playing though he warmed up to the cold snow. Kennedy had a great time! We made snow angels and threw the heavy snow at one another. I can't think of a better way to spend an hour with your kids.
The only down side came after the play, when the driveway still needed to be cleared!

Update, Update
I haven't updated the kids' photo pages for the past several months. One of the reasons is laziness, the other reason is our camera went nuts and I didn't take too many pictures for a while. Last week we purchased a new digital SLR camera and now, I'm in the mood to snap a few shots again. Take a look at the new photo pages.

Even though I'm not in the classroom anymore, this list hit pretty close to home..
HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TEACHER?
by Jeff Foxworthy
1. You can hear 25 voices behind you and know exactly which one belongs to the child out of line.
2. You get a secret thrill out of laminating something.
3. You walk into a store and hear the words "It's Ms. Mr. ________" and know you have been spotted. (or on Lake Powell or at the gas station in Scipio)
4. You have 25 people that accidentally call you Mom/Dad at one time or another.
5. You can eat a multi-course meal in under twenty-five minutes.
6. You've trained yourself to go to the bathroom at two distinct times of the day: lunch and recess.
7. You start saving other people's trash, because most likely, you can use that toilet paper tube or plastic butter tub for something in the classroom.
8. You believe the teachers' lounge should be equipped with a margarita machine.
9. You want to slap the next person who says "Must be nice to work 8 to 3 and have summers off."
10. You believe chocolate is a food group.
11. You can tell if it's a full moon without ever looking outside.
12. You believe that unspeakable evils will befall you if anyone says "Boy, the kids sure are mellow today."
13. You feel the urge to talk to strange children and correct their behavior when you are out in public.
14. You believe in aerial spraying of Ritalin.
15. You think caffeine should be available in intravenous form.
16. You spend more money on school stuff than you do on your own children.
17. You can't pass the school supply aisle without getting at least five items!
18. You ask your friends if the left hand turn he just made was a "good choice or a bad choice."
19. You find true beauty in a can full of perfectly sharpened pencils
20. You are secretly addicted to hand sanitizer and finally,
21. You understand instantaneously why a child behaves a certain way after meeting his or her parents.
