My baby sisters turned 20 years old today!! Its crazy how fast life is flying by! Today has been a great day.. woke up and went on a run!! I'm trying to get ready for a ski trip I'm going on with my old college group Flashpoint in Tyler. After running I went to work till 6 then went to the store with the twins. I absolutly love coffee and today while we were at the store we found the coolest creamers. I went a little over board and bought almost all of the holiday flavors. They had my favorite which is peppermint mocha as well as mint truffle and gingerbread and eggnog! they were all so good :) we had a coffee party tonight just the 5 of us and we made a big pot of coffee and we tasted all of them! My favorite is still Peppermint Mocha!
I have to go up to the school  in the morning and take one of my last tests of the semester :)

Hey everyone!

Man its cold outside.. I love it! Well today was a wonderful day I got up and went to an Elementary school and I observed some classrooms. First I observed a fourth grade class of 19 kids, they were so sweet. They were all learning about matter and the texture on these leaves that they had picked the week before. After 4th grade I went and observed Kindergarten which I have always wanted to teach, because I love that age! But.. it was a nightmare, but honestly I think it was the teacher she had been gone the past like 4 days and the kids were misbehaving the entire time.. and even during the get your wiggles out song.. she made the kids that were jumping away from the group sit down.. Im not a teacher but I would have been telling them to jump faster and higher and try to wear em out a bit.. So after kindergarted I went to visit the Pre Kindergarden class.. Ok so I was expecting something different as well.. I walked in and there were 3 teachers in one room of like13 kids.. is that nessecary? The kids were so well behaved and they were all working so hard, im still not sure why there were three, the lady I asked could explain why..  my favorite quote from today was from the cutest little Pre-K boy named Logan " OH LORDY, I hope you arent about to play with that little red car right there.. Because I am IN LOVE!!" haha the look on his face as he was saying that to the other boy was pricless!! A funny thing the teachers kept saying was "2-1-0" and "2-1-0" so I finally asked one of the little girls who was closest to me what it ment.. She said with a lysthp "two handth behind your back, one bubble in your moufth, and zero talking" funny huh?! it worked though.

Today my family has recieved some HUGE blessings...

You all know Mission Kiddos is about to take off on our yearly mission trip to the border, this year we are going to Quemado and we have so many kids this year.
