Some pictures from our trip west this summer.

Here are some pictures from our trip west. We went to Indiana, Nauvoo and Carthage Jail. We also went on a random Steam boat in Keokuk, Iowa. No the dog is not ours but my grandparents who we stayed in Indiana. sorry that the pictures are in a random order but I hate trying to mess around with the pictures on the blog. Hope you Enjoy.


This was the tiniest frog I have ever seen. They were down by the Rocky Hollow-Falls Canyon.

Is it any wonder my leg is in a cast?

So It is great being married! lol We can make tents and sleep under (unlike when I would make tents growing up!) It really isn't that messy. Just crowded!

A few pictures For those who could not be there!

Here are just a few pictures from the wedding and ring ceremony. More will come later when we get back to Utah. This is just for those that can not make.

RIP Urchin

So I am sad to report that PB Piggy (Pot Belly Piggy) is now an only guinea pig. Last night at around midnight Urchin past away. It was a really sad moment. He was a good pig for the 24 hours that I had him. I do believe he was an old pig and so it was time. PB Piggy is alright but looking a little lonely.

The New Pigs!

These are my guinea pigs. I got them off of Craigslist. The top one I name Urchin because his hair sticks up every which way and reminds me of a sea urchin. The bottom one I named piggy. He reminds me of a pot belly pig. I was going to get rid of urchin but they absolutely love playing with each other. They are both male but they are so cute together. They sleep next to each other too... I am so excited.

School!

So I thought I would show people what education classes look like and what we do! We just have fun pretty much.

So this is Sabrina working out our new math problem. We are trying to figure out how many different Trains we can make for length "n". We can figure it out anyway that we want. Our group used cuisanire rods.
This is Hannah and Sabrina. We are looking for a pattern between each new length.

This is the answer! It is Pascal's Triangle. Each new length of train builds off the last lengths possibilities. It looks really cool!

This is my technology class. Amy Andrea and I are working with a technology called Stellarium. It is a cool program which allows you to look at the nght sky as you would see from where you are. WE used it to take pictures of the moon for an entire month. We would teach the students about the phases of the moon.
This is the technology class. We are using a computer program called stellarium which allows you to look at the stary night on any date. It is a really cool program. We are doing a lesson plan using it to look at the moon for an entire month.This is Andrea showing off the night sky.... Just there is a glare. ...And finally this is Amy doing the hardwork... The actually writing of the plan! WOOT

So before Christmas I met my family in Las Vegas. We went through some of the casinos. Here are a few of the pictures that I took of the cutest kids ever. Oh and my mom and I with "Donny Osmond". BUT the coolest thing is the UNDERWATER SCUBA DIVER SANTA. He really talked with the kids!
