It's been awhile!

Lots has happened and I have written none of it. And of course by now most of it has been forgotten!

Bryell was baptized on Saturday September 5th. I will post pictures on this entry when I have them. Kara is going to be gracious enough to let us use some of hers because our camera died right away! We had a pretty good turnout. The baptism was in Alliance and Craig, Lennie, my mom and dad, Josh, Kara, Brecken, my cousin Carmen and her husband Nate all showed up. We were so grateful for everyone there showing their support. Bryell did so good! The baptism was at 8:30 at night which is past her bedtime, but she did not cry at all! It was cute- when Father started pouring the water over her head she actually was trying to push his hand away so it wouldn't go on her. She is so smart!


On the 6th was Brecken's birthday party. We went to that and got to see Bryan and Anne, Joel, Annie, Trevor, Karlee, Hailey, Kristen, David, Ryan, and Brooklyn, PeeWee, and of course Josh, Kara, Brecken, Craig, and Lennie. Its always so fun when everyone is around. I also can't believe Brecken is three!!

We are back in full swing of the school mode- as you know I am working halftime this year and it has been a blast to spend time at home with Bryell! I am attempting to do some 'spring cleaning' while she is asleep since this spring I was pretty much out of commission! I have been trying to be good and only clean when she is sleeping- I figure I am halftime to stay home with her not clean :) and Jeffrey is even supportive of that! At school we have a pretty tough class- very very lovable, but very high maintenance. I am loving teaching with Janessa and the halftime thing is going very well.

Last weekend Jeff went to the Wyoming Texas game and I stayed home with Bryell. We went out to Heidi's house and met up with Noelle and Seren (Seren is a month older then Bryell- Noelle teaches fourth grade with Jeff). It was so fun to watch Seren and Bryell 'play' together. It was also exciting to watch Seren and see what a difference one month makes! Hanging out with Noelle and Heidi made the day without Jeff go by much quicker!

Jeffrey is coaching middle school football again. He enjoys it- they had so many boys that they had to hire a third coach. They have had two games so far and eighth grade won both games and 7th grade won 1 of the 2 games.

I woke up in the middle of the night Wednesday night with a 102 temperature, I took tylenol hoping it would wear off. No luck there, I went to the school nurse the next day who told me I had to go to the doctor. I was not very pleased when I found out I had strep throat. I was instantly sent home. Jeff had a game in Big Piney so was not home until late and Bryell apparently wanted to wait up for him so I didn't get much sleep Thursday. Today I should get a lot more- we took Bryell to the sitters. I was supposed to be at training today so we already had one arranged. I am going to take full advantage of it and get some sleeping in!
