Band Aid

Here is a post that closely resembles one of my very first. I just don't want you guys to forget that I listen to music that is from...not my decade...on a regular basis. I also like it when those songs are redone (sometimes). Here are a few videos, then and now. This time I will let you form your own opinions.

Then (what is Bono doing with his shoulders??)

Now (seriously, is there anything Glee hasn't redone?...except We Are the World)

I haven't actually tried to play them together like I did with the last one (the two We Are the Worlds). 

Back then I was obsessed...back then.

This doesn't even need a caption or description. I just love being an aunt. I would drive to Rexburg every day if I could. Four nieces and nephews?? How did I get so lucky???

Be So Happy That When You Are With Others, They Become Happy Too

Picture this:

2 second grade boys, playing CONNECT FOUR. The stakes are high (ok, not that high...), the emotions are intense (well, I don't think they cared that much), and the pressure is on (well, I guess we were racing the clock). 

Red. Yellow. Red-"ooh, you think that will stop me?" Yellow-"what are you going to do about THAT." Red. Yellow. Red. Yellow-"take that!" Red. Yellow. 

Then, the moment that caused me to cover my mouth with my hand, stand up, and leave the table so I could quietly laugh while simultaneously recording the event on a post-it note.

Again, my favorite "swearing student," says, with all the African-American Vernacular English (not a racist comment, just a reference to the dialect) attitude that is possible in an 8 year old Caucasian boy - "OH NO YOU DI-INT!" (the hyphen, of course, represents the glottal stop). 

Thank you, favorite student, for keeping my life so very entertaining. What would I do without you?

Reason #768

1 = my favorite "swearing" student in 2nd grade
2 = new speech student

1: uhhhhggg, I always have to miss the play because of speech and resource and stuff!!
2: Hey hey! At least you don't have ECZEMA!
Miss Devery: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ya. True.

“Volcano: A mountain with hiccups”

"say, volcano"
"bolcano"
"oh let's try VOLcano"
"no I like BOLcano"
"oh but it's actually volcano with our good vvvvv sound, VVVVVolcano"
"no. there's two kinds of -canos. I like bolcano better."

We Are Young!

A QUICK PHOTO UPDATE - HERE'S WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO

I am making these this year (hopefully today) thanks to Andi Paige Powell

Visiting Grandma Larsen-Scott

Loving every minute of being with this girl!

Teaching my nephew how to pinkie pound (Chels!)

Losing words-with-friends, but getting 16 points with MY NAME!

Being crafty, what??

Never fear, Christmas break is upon us and I will have more time to blog! (I know you're excited)

Day 3

Today, is Day 3 of my "100 WORKOUT" plan. Well, technically its Day 5, but I am only doing the workout every other day so far. Lol, Days 1, 2, 3, and 4 I was SO SO  sore. So sore it was embarrassing actually. I am quite positive I looked like a 98 year old woman. Hopefully It won't be like that always. My goal is to eventually be able to do it in the AM and the PM. Right now, every other PM is all my poor little iliotibial bands can handle!

Here it is, have at it!
