Finally!


I am only updating this because Aunt DeAnn gave me an F for never blogging. After today, I think I deserve at least a C-. I am doing an update similar to the last one, except this one will actually have some pictures.

Erin: It was quite a summer living in Richfield while my husband and baby lived in Cedar City. I am glad it is finished. I finished my 18 credit semester with a 4.0. During the summer I took my PLT: Principles of Learning and Teaching Praxis and passed with a score of 180. This exam is one that most teachers don't take until their second or third year of teaching. I am still a student, so I feel pretty happy about passing it. I only have one more semester until I am totally done with school. I start my student teaching next week. I am super stressed about it. You all better be thinking of me and praying for me!

Trevor: After much deliberation, Trevor has decided to go back to school and get his Health endorsement, so he can teach Health (obviously) in the future. This will hopefully give him more job opportunities in the future. He is really NOT excited to be going back, but he's doing it anyway because he is awesome.

Jason: Jason is quite the handful. He never stops moving or getting into trouble. He is a little daredevil. He likes to flip our banana chair over, climb on it, and use it as a slide... or fall off of it. He also likes to stand on his toy horse and ride it like a trick rider. We still love him, though. Jason is beginning to use more words.
Here is a list of words he can say:
- cracker ("daddo"): I'm not sure how that is cracker, but that's how he says it.
- mama
- dada
- kitty ("kiddle diddle"): Don't ask where he got this one, it is super cute when he says it.
- doggy ("doggle loggle"): see above
- yeah: Any time I ask any sort of question, he just says "yeah."
- hi
- happy
- granny ("nanny")
- cheese: He says this when he is getting his picture taken.

To finish off my post, I am including a list of some of Jason's favorite things. Pictures are included.


1. Reading:
Jason frequently grabs a book and climbs up on my lap because he wants me to read to him. It is very sweet.



2. Putting random things on his face and head:
I frequently find Jason walking around with some sort of toy or Tupperware on his head.

He sort of looks like a pirate in this picture.


3. Making silly faces



4. Yelling and screaming

5. Eating


6. Going to the park

7. Getting into things and making messes.


I hope you enjoyed my update. Don't expect another one until I am finished with my student teaching.
