Spring Fun!!

So I decided that 7 months had gone by since I had last updated this blog of mine. A lot has happened in that time. I have only 6 more weeks in my first year of teaching school. I don't know who is more excited, the students or me. I really have loved teaching this year, but boy do the kids wear me out!! I have been sending them through Jedi training as a fun review for Core Testing. They have been having a great time getting ready to take on Darth Tester. They get to create light sabers at the end.



In other news, Spencer moved down and lives in the house next door to mine in Logan. We have have loved living so close since most of the time we have dated we have lived in separate states. He is studying furiously for finals right now and looking for a job for the summer. We can't wait to experience a summer in Logan together!



My brother, Nate, got married on March 14th. We are so happy for Nate and Tanja. I caught the bouquet and Spencer was a little nervous! ;) We also were very hungry at the temple and Alli, being very, very pregnant, handed out treats to us from her purse. I got a fortune cookie that had the fortune, "A tempting proposal will come your way." Spencer was very nervous, especially after the photographer, Robin, kept asking him if he was in or out of the family photos!


I am officially an aunt! Alli and Kyle are the proud parents of Grant, a very special little boy, who was born on March 20th. Grant was born with half of a heart and has spent the past five weeks fighting for his health. You can find more information about him here. We continually keep him in our prayers.

As far as my summer plans, I will be the administrator for my school's summer school program for about a month. Other than that, I am happily unemployed until fall unless something catches my eye.

For a laugh- One day last week we were playing Spelling Sparkle with the states and capitals. After spelling the state, the next person in line had to say the capital in order to get the person down. The state Alabama was correctly spelled and then it gets to one of my "problem" children who sighs and then says, "Uh, I don't know...Sweet Home?" in a joking way. We all started rolling on the ground laughing. To make things even funnier, later on in the week we were taking a test on the states and capitals and I had a girl, in all seriousness, write Sweet Home. She obviously didn't know that it was a joke. Until next time.... ;)

He's Home!

Yes, the S.S. Bell has safely landed back in his home land of Idaho Falls. Elder Bell returned home on October 1st. We have had a great time getting to know each other again. He is most likely coming down to Logan for school starting in January. I hope so! Over his homecoming weekend, Blake and Heather came from Las Vegas to hear them report. Heather was more than willing to take a few pictures of us together again! Hailey loved to see her Uncle Pencer again! She was so cuddly and always wanted to be with him.


One of the first things that we did was play the piano! We have a great time fumbling our way through songs and I love to have him sing while I play. Good times!!

Welcome home Spencer!!

It's for the Children

Well, I decided that I should probably update my blog that Alli spent so much time making work. I am officially a 5th grade teacher in Hyrum, Utah. I have been teaching for about two months now and love it most days! It is keeping me very busy and constantly tired, but the rewards outweigh the stress and work. My kids had a party last Monday on their half day to reward themselves for their good behavior during the months of August and September. They had a great time playing games with each other. The funniest thing to watch was their rousing game of Twister. They were so animated and flexible! They wanted to wear pajamas for the party, so notice the slippers, robes, and pj's on some. Enjoy the photos!

My Sister Rocks my Socks!

After much begging and pleading from my family (**cough** ALLI) and friends, I have started my own blog so that all of you can keep up with my crazy adventures! And, in this first test post, my dearest and most favorite sister ever, ALLISON BRENN (on her BIRTHDAY none the less) has spent an entire morning messing with my super cute header and background pages until she could get it to fit just perfect. What do you think? I think that she has achieved perfect success. That is probably because she is about the coolest and most generous person that I know. Thanks ALLI! (ahown above at her wedding with our amazing former roommate Steph)
