Slacking...Events lately...

I have been a bit of a slacker lately on keeping everyone up to date on what’s happening with me lately! First, I was finally assigned to my student teaching! Yay! As of right now, I think I will start on August 4th and I will likely be in the school until around the first week in January. I am working in a first grade classroom in District 66. I am pretty excited about the whole first grade thing! Wish me luck…..

On May 2nd, Jaimie and I took Junior to the Cinco De Mayo parade! It was SO much fun! I enjoyed listening to the music and watching Junior’s constantly changing face when all the “cool things” passed! I did learn something new…did you know that horses can be trained to dance? The parade had a whole crew of dancing horses there, and I was fascinated! I have video of it, but I have feeling it will take way too long along with the pictures to upload. So, maybe that will be something to share for another time.


"I wonder what's next?"

Jaimie kept catching shirts!

Jaimie and I being crazy!

Later that evening, we went to Kaylie's second birthday party!
She really loved her cake!


Jen, Jaimie and I had another little outing day with Junior! We took him to the Children's Museum! It is such a cool place and it has changed SO much since I went there years ago! Junior's two favorite things were the science ball area and the fire engine! It didn't take much to please him! Here are a few pictures!

This was his favorite fire truck!

He liked this piano too...you could push the buttons and it would light up on the big screen!

I love this picture of Junior trying to grab the ball that was being held up by the stream of air!

Whoops!
Then, this weekend Jen, Mike, Erich and I took Jaimie out for her birthday! She's 23, but it was intended to be a 21st birthday party that she never really had!

Sisters!

And....FINALLY....

Erich and I went to see the musical Wicked last night with his mom, sister and sister's boyfriend Kyle...and, well...it was AMAZING! I was entertained the WHOLE time and it did not seem like three hours had went by at all! I wanted to get Erich and my picture under the Orpheum sign, but we were not able too. I was not able to take picutres during the performance, but I did get this picture of the set...what a teaser for those of you who have not seen it! (and proof of the not-so-good-seats we had!) Ah, I just cannot say enough! It was WONDERFUL!

The Orpheum is such beautiful place!

Well, I guess I have learned my lesson in waiting forever to post about events! This has taken me way too long to write! Lesson learned!
