Catch up with pictures

AUGUST

This cute lil guy was born. Parker Jay Robinson :)

SEPTEMBER

Tyler's Birthday. I bought him a tablet. He thinks
he is pretty cool now.

I also made him a Dallas Cowboys blanket.
YUCK!!!

I continued to get my little kiddos in primary ready
for the Primary Program.

I jog/walked my first 5K. I will definitely be running
it next year.

OCTOBER

Tyler & I went to Parker's baby blessing.

Parker and all of his chubbiness! :)

The 3 cousins were re-united after quite a while. Crazy to
see the places we have gone and the things we have done in 5 years.

Crystal & I went to BYU-I's Halloween concert. It was pretty cool.
We even got to see a high school football team plaing in
at least half a foot of snow while we waited to go inside.

Annual carving of the pumpkins. Mine did turn out a little
better than last years ;)

NOVEMBER

This cute girl and her mom and dad moved to Idaho Falls.
We are so excited to have them close again!! :)

Tyler & I got a wild hair and decided we wanted to finish the living
room in our basement downstairs. So here is a picture of a soon
to be bedroom.

And here is the flooring that "I" carried all down to the basement!

1st part of December

I put up the Christmas decorations even though it feels
like Spring here with all of the rain.

Tyler & I were able to spend a Saturday together. It is
pretty rare that this happens with his odd
"BANKER HOURS" that he has.

I spent a lot of time in my classroom in August with Crystal getting it ready. I was just looking at pictures the other day and realized that I hadn't taken any updated pictures, but I had a few of my bulletin boards. I didn't realize how much work it took to get a room ready. Here is just a few of the things that I have done in my room.

This bulletin board shows all of the kids art work that we do.

This is the AR board. The kids each colored a fish and it gets moved
across according to the percentage of their goal they have made.

The punctuation bulletin board.

I made this from an idea I saw on Pinterest. It holds all of my
copies for the whole week.

August

I can't believe that August is already here. My summer went by so FAST!!! It has been a super crazy summer. I was told the day aftter school got out that I would be able to stay at Tiebreaker as a teacher, but I would have to move up to 3rd grade. I was actually really excited since I student taught in 3rd grade I feel like I will already be a little more familiar with some of the things they are learning and doing. I have been working in my classroom a lot this summer trying to get it all organized and add "my touch" to it. I have had an enormous amount of support in getting my room ready. One of the teachers from the school came and helped me clean it out a few days, Crystal has been a huge help in coming and helping me organize and clean it, my mom has been making cute things to put up in my room or on my desk, and a very sweet lady from the ward gave me all of her fabric and borders to use for my bulletin boards. My room looks completely different, but it still needs lots of work good thing I still have two more days next week before I have to have it officially put together. ;)

Besides doing all of that Tyler and I have had the opportunity to have a little bit of fun this month. We were able to go to the rodeo and enjoy some good old cowboy fun.

Crystal and I after the rodeo. The boys
thought we were crazy, but you can't go to
a rodeo without your hat. ;)

I also went to my first ever baseball game that wasn't church softball or little league. We went to an Idaho Falls Chukars baseball game. Not gonna lie it wasn't exactlly what I was expecting, but still fun. I think I am more of a football and basketball kind of girl. Just a little bit more action. ;)

Don't worry I don't pictures for a living.

Our peas in the garden have been growing way too fast and I hadn't been out to pick them in a while, so when I did we had a HUGE bowl full. My least favorite thing to do is probably take the peas out of their pods. I jokingly told Tyler that if he wanted any of those peas for dinner that he needed to take them out of their pods. Well, I turn around and someone was sitting on the couch and taking all of the peas out of the pods. I didn't expect it to last more than 3 minutes. I thought the "FUN" wouldn't last long, but he stuck with it and did the whole bowl. They were super YUMMY!!!

I managed to sneak a picture! ;)

Changes over a year

I can't believe that we have been in our home and Idaho for a whole year already. There has been lots of changes that have happened since we moved in. Take a look :)

Month of July

July came and went pretty fast. We spent the 4th of July with the Butterworth's and were lucky enough to have Travis and Brandi here for a few days. The 3 married couples went and played some mini golf and went out to eat. It was so fun to be able to hang out with each other because that doesn't happen very often. I went on a mini vacation to visit my parents while Tyler was putting in some long working hours and it just happened to be over Oakley's big celebration, so that was fun. Other than that we didn't do a whole lot around here.
