Xander's first video

This is the first little video footage that I got of Xander Man. Please ignor my mommilies in the background. I took it awhile ago but this is still where he is at kicking and grinning!

No new tricks yet! I put him on his stomach but he hates it! He face plants himself and then spits up or sneezes out a booger so when I turn him over it is smeared all over his face. Lots of fun. So I think I am dooming the kid with a flat head.

He will get the whole rolling over moving in his own due time.

Messing with Sasquatch

I love the montains

Do you have a Favorite Youtube?

Jeremy and I love the Discovery Channel, History Channel and TLC.  (He watches that one mainly for me and then changes it back to the other two when I leave the room).

We love Sports and will watch a game every now and then but mostly for the score and then it is back to the other three channels.  HGTV is on the list as well.

Anyway,

on these channels are some favorite things which you can find on Youtube.

On my sidebar (Search Youtube) type in 

1.  I love the mountains  (Jeremy loves this commercial)  It just makes us happy

2.  Messing with Sasquatch (We laugh sooo hard at these commercials)

3. Team Hoyt  (If you have not seen the story of this father and son team on e-mail you should check this story out)

Do you have a favorite Youtube I can add to my list?

Primary Program

So, I am still a Primary teacher and today we practiced for our Primary program which is tomorrow.  

Did I ever tell you how many kids we have in our Primary?  160...Yes 160 children.

Our blessed Primary president said to the children...

"You know boys and girls, we have enough kids to have a ward just of kids"

It is soo true..  The bigger half is the junior primary and so the 1st three rows in the chapel is all the sunbeams. Not up on the stand but down in the chapel.  Enough 2-3 year olds to have a Preschool with morning and afternoon classes.

I think it is going to turn out pretty good though.  It brings me to tears to hear them sing "If the savior stood beside me"

I also really love our ward!  We have some of the best families!  Plus if everyone sticks around we are going to have an awesome youth program.  I am excited for the future.

Daddy's Boy

I have been enjoying the days with Xander. He smiles and kicks his legs and is overall a happy little dude.

Jeremy is anxious to cook for him and have him eat bacon.  I came into the kitchen and saw Jeremy giving Xander bacon.  He sucked on it and never once made a yucky face.  

Jeremy has started school and is really doing well.  He works full-time and is taking night classes.  Xander and I are soo proud of him.  The cool thing is, we bought him a computer and a wireless internet connection that he can use anywhere so he takes his computer to work and when he finishes jobs early, he can sit in his work van and do homework and get paid for it.  Two of his classes are online so this is awesome!

I have been trying to figure out something to do at home and I found a company that needs online tutors.

I have been hired for the job, now I just need to do all the paperwork.  I still am going to sub every now and then as well.  If I could just win Publishers clearing house 5,000 a week for life I would not have to worry so much.

Jeremy laughs at me because I enter everyday.  I know it is a long shot and I probably won't win but it takes a minute everyday to enter so it is not a huge waste of time.  If I won, here is the top 10 things I would do:

1.  Pay off all debt

2. Finish our basement and make it really cool

3. Finish our backyard and have a firepit and lots of fruit trees

4. Hire HGTV to come decorate my house...I would pick Curtis because he does cool artwork.

5. Start my own preschool and pay the teachers a lot more then 10.00 an hour

6. Give money to my family

7. Go to Italy

8. Jeremy could work less and go to school full-time during the day (He said he would not quit)

9.  Hire a fluent Italian speaker to come teach Xander and I Italian

10.  Buy a house in Utah and a jet so we could go visit Jeremy's kids whenever we wanted

I would do a lot more of course but these were a few that came to mind first.  Thanks for reading.

AP Bottle Holding

Xander surprised me today by crawling to the fridge, making his own bottle and lying on the bed to drink it with one of his favorite blankets!!!  

He is such a good kid and only 10 weeks old!  What a stud!  Today was my first official SAHM Day!  It was good.  I went to Walmart and saw a bunch of other mothers with babies.  I of course glanced at all of them and then told Xander how good looking he is!

I couldn't completely give up teaching so I signed up to be a sub.  I signed up today and already have a job for Thursday.  Just a 1/2 day in a bilingual 3rd grade class. I am soo excited. I figure once a week will be good and keep my name in the district so in case something happens to Jeremy it would be easier to get a job if needed.
