Temple, Temple, Temple!!

We finally made it to the Draper Temple. It was so nice to finally go. It was beautiful and had such a great spirit to it! Every room was amazing and it felt so nice to be there with Bryson and his family. I love going to the temple and I wish I could go more often!

On the way to the temple, Bryson fell asleep holding my hand. I couldn't resist taking a picture. It was so funny because he kept the position after a let go.
This is the family after we went through. So nice!

Before we left. It was freezing!!
Bryson and I again. One last one in front of the temple! :)

Lindsey's Red Pants

To begin my story, let me tell you a little background info. My sister in law Lindsey bought some red skinny jeans. No one in the family really likes them. I guess we just haven't gotten into the new fashion. Her dad always is hiding him. He has put them up in high corners, underneath things and even taped them to the ceiling! The other week Bryson's parents went on a vacation and we watched over the kids, Lindsey was convinced that Keith had taken the pants with them. It was pretty funny. Anyway the night they came back we were all hanging out and watching the BYU basketball game (well the guys were). Amanda and I were talking and playing with her little girl when we decided it would be funny if we had Keith put on Lindsey's red pants. It didn't really take much convincing and it was hilarious! We were all laughing so hard, it was so worth it! Lindsey was gone with her friends that night and soon found the picture on Facebook of her dad in her pants! It made for a great night! Sorry and thanks Lindsey!

Basketball Games and Other fun!

We got to go to the Jazz game a couple weeks ago! It was a lot of fun. We decided that we still like BYU games better. A lot better environment. We sat next to a lady who had like 4 or 5 beers. I couldn't believe it! Anywho... Jazz won! Wahoo!

I think this picture was at 15 weeks.. Not the best of me but you can see our little bean growing!

BYU VS Utah game
We actually got there on time and got to see the pre show! It was so much fun!

Bryson and I at the game. Go Cougars!

Bryson insists on taking pictures with me in it.. not the best but what the heck!

After the game we met up with one of Bryson's mission buddies and his fiance. We went bowling and played air hockey. I didn't get any pictures of bowling but Bryson and I rocked! Unfortunately we tied.. oh well! Here is a picture of Bryson playing
Friday I went to dinner and a movie with a couple of the girls I work with. It was fun. I didn't get any pictures at dinner. We went to Olive Garden. Yummy! Then we went to Confessions of a Shopaholic. We laughed the whole time! The best part was we snuck milkshakes from Chadders in! So Good!!

Luke's Blessing- so we didn't really get a lot of pictures here. Bryson had to leave and teach our sunbeam class. Thanks hun! I was able stay and spend time with the family. Luke is getting so big!

My Class

I decided to download my picture from my camera and I guess I haven't done that in awhile because I had 91 photos.. oh well. I thought some of you may have find some of this interesting!

A couple weeks ago we took a field trip to the Space Center. It was fun to remember when I was their age and made the same trip.
This is some of my students while they are getting trained for their mission.
P. working hard at decoding!
I would be worried about this kid but he is my perfect student and apparently just relaxing! :)
Valentines Day.. do I need to say more? It was fun to see all the boys trying to sneak notes to girls that day. I have a feeling that this is the time where they all start to get funny about "going out"
I thought this box was awesome! A lot of hard work went into it
My students passing their valentines out!

This past Friday we had Nova graduation. N.O.V.A. stands for Nurturing, Opportunities, Values, and Accountability. Remember the Dare program... Nova is like Dare on steroids. ha. It covers a lot more material. We almost didnt' get to have graduation or even finish the program because of Lehi City budgets cuts (like the rest of our world). Our officer was great and offered to come on his own time to finish and our PTA stepped in and helped make graduation possible. Our school was the only school able to finish! Thanks Bart! The students learn so much for this program and I hope we can get it back next year!
Our students wrote essays on what NOVA is to them. They announced winners at graduation and was able to get a couple of things to remember. This is just one of the groups getting their awards.

I told my students!

I decided to make Valentines a little more fun by telling my students that i'm having a baby! It was a lot of fun. I put together a scavenger hunt and gave them clues to find teachers that are at my school. In the teachers room there was a present. Before they could open the present they had to find the other half of a heart they were given. Another group had the other half. After they completed their heart they could open their presents. In one of the presents there was something to do with a baby, then in the other there was a treat or snack that had something to do with a baby. Then they had to guess that their teacher was pregnant! My first group was a group of boys and they couldn't figure it out. It was pretty funny! Eventually they all got it and were excited! They were full of questions. Some of the girls claimed to already know but who knows! I had fun telling them! One girl just couldn't wait to call her mom!! They are a fun group! Here are some picture of today!

Before it all began
First Group to finish:
They couldn't figure out why there was baby stuff. It took a few minutes
More Groups



These girls figured it out pretty fast




This little boy got a diaper.. It was on his head the rest of the time..


All of the stuff that they had to open.
What a fun day!
My room mom's were great and they had a few projects for my kids to do! I hope they all had fun. It defiantly sounded like that.

Once upon a time....

Once upon a time, there was two people who fell in love. They decided to get married and spend eternity with each other. Well, one year later they decided they couldn't wait any longer to start their family! They sent a message to their family stork saying they would like a baby in nine months. On the night that her sister delivered their little girl, the happy couple, Bryson and Mickelle found out that they would be coming back to the hospital in a short time however this time it would be to deliver their baby! They were so excited and tried to not tell anyone. Anywho the point of this post is not to tell a story but to announce that we are going to have a baby! We are so excited for this and it is feeling more real every day! Especially as my stomach gets bigger!

We made a card for our families for Christmas. Of course we had to make a baby bear! For those who don't know Bryson gave me a bear in ninth grade that I have saved then we made a Mickelle bear when we got engaged.
We went and heard the heartbeat last week and decided to schedule an ultra sound for fun. Our excuse was we wanted to make sure of the due date! August 12th is the due date! I will be out of my first trimester this week! So excited! Here is a blurry picture of one of the pictures they took for us. You can see it's profile really good.
