Beautiful morning

Wednesday morning we woke up to this. We had enough frost and snow to coat the trees and grass with white, and then God painted this beautiful sky for us to see! How glorious!

Technique Tuesday

One of my favorite acrylic stamp companies is Technique Tuesday. They have some wonderful stamps. I love these beautiful alphabet stamps with the floral design in them. I received them in the mail today - I was very excited! Now I can't wait to play with them.

New layout

Sunday, February 8th - Today I enjoyed some scrapbooking time in my room. I completed this layout from when I took the girls to Maui, summer 2007. I'm so far behind! But it was fun to have the time to play!

Driver's License

February 7th - Kaitlyn was very excited to get her actual driver's license in the mail today. I guess this makes it more real! So far, she's been doing great as a new driver, and hasn't locked her keys in the car again!!

Grandma and Cole

This is my Mom and my nephew, Cole. He lives in Highlands Ranch with his parents (my brother and his wife). My brother, Doug, wanted Mom to come and visit for a few days, so Cole met me halfway to get Grandma and take her back. She'll spend 3 or 4 days with them, then we'll meet again to get her back home. Aren't they cute together?

New Lotus

See my cool new phone!! I just got it! It's very cool because it has a full keyboard, so now I can actually text!! My daughters have been wanting me to learn to text forever. Now I can!! :-)

RTI

Today (Wednesday) I spent the day at an inservice outside of school. It was RTI, response to intervention. Hopefully it will be an approach to help those struggling students in the general education without immediately testing them for special education services. Basically, it will help train general education teachers ways to intervene and help students that we special education teachers have been doing for years.

Brianna and Taz

Here's Brianna with her kitty, Taz. He has grown up so much, and he sure is ornery. He thinks it's perfectly fine for him to be up on the counters, looking for crumbs and such.

A sign of the times......

I guess, a sign of my times, at least. Here's my youngest, filling out the form to order her class ring. It sure makes me feel old, so I guess, yes, it's a sign of the times.....

Superbowl Sunday

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a huge football fan. So my day has been spent watching all the fun pre-game shows. And will finish watching the last game of this season. Who am I cheering for? Well, I actually like both teams. I've always been a Steelers fan, loving the "Bus", the quality player in Hines Ward (and his cute smile), Big Ben and several others, including the coaches, Cowher and even Tomlin. I haven't really been a huge Cardinal fan, but I am a huge Kurt Warner fan, back since his days with the Rams. I have a great deal of respect for him as a player and a person. And recently have become a Larry Fitzgerald fan....wow! What a player! So I won't be disappointed with either team as the winner, but probably a little saddened for the loser. Can they both win?
