My little Burrito

Every morning when I go in to wake up Tyson for school, this is what how I find him.


Wrapped nice and snug, just like a little burrito. I slowly start to unwrap him, and I sing a great liitle song I learned at girls camp. It is called "Hey burrito!" I will spare you the words, mostly because I don't remember them all. We learn the best songs at girls camp! Oh how I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE snuggling my little burrito. It is the best part of my morning!

I can't Explain It!!

I can't explain it. It makes NO sense at all. Really, it shouldn't have happened. All I can tell you is that it DID HAPPEN! It really DID! I got a job at Vista Heights Middle School, as the Lead Secretary! Surely there were hundreds of more qualified applicants. Apparently they NEVER hire from outside of the district, and without lead secretary experience. If you are thinking miracle....well SO I AM I! I feel so blessed and lucky...and I am soo excited. This is the brand new middle school that my girls will be going to next year, and then Tyson a few years later. The Principal said he felt strongly that I was the perfect person for the job, and he is so excited to have me on board. I start in August. I am sad to leave jetBlue but the hours did not allow me to go to church on a regular basis, and I am having to work holidays and nights. It has been rough! Who'd have thought I would miss going to church so much? J/K! The school hours, although full time, are going to ROCK! I have a Financial Secretary, an Attendance Secretary, and a Registrar all with tons of experience who are hopefully going to help me get trained and ready to go by the time school starts. I can't wait!!

On to other news! The girls just had their first long course meet of the season. MAN it is a LONG way from one end of the pool to the other. I guess that is why they call it LONG course! The girls did great, but were pretty beat by the time it was over, since they swam 3 events each! Tyson and I have been having some fun going to the hills near our house and shooting his bb gun. We set up pop cans and make them our targets. Although it is not my FAVORITE thing to do, I love how excited he gets, and spending a little one on one time with him. We are down to 3 weeks of school left. I don't know who is more burned out on homework at this point...me or the kids. Does every mother feel this way towards the end of the school year? I am just ready for some good ol' lazy summer days! We have some fun trips planned before I lose flight benefits, so we are ready for summer to be here!

Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day! My Mom is too far away. Seriously too far away! I LOVE my Mom soo unbelievably much. She is patient, wise, giving, supportive, understanding, and beautiful. I am so incredibly blessed to have her. She has gone through alot with me. And I mean ALOT! I can't imagine the patience, time, money, and energy that was spent on my many medical adventures. Surely she sacrificed much to take care of her sickly child...me! The worry, stress and unkown of having a heart baby in the early 1970's is hard for me to comprehend. Babies did not survive back then like they do today. Yet, it seemed effortless for her. How does she make motherhood look so easy, when I struggle just to get everyone, fed, clothed, and to school everyday? My mother has many talents. A few of which include sewing, playing the piano, and being a great nurse. I am a little bitter however, that she didn't pass on any of her talents to me! The way she is patient with my Father and his many "hobbies", is inspiring. How she gracefully endures through trials and the calm, encouraging support she gives us children during times of trial, is a great example to everyone around her. Heavenly Father knew I needed someone great to be my Mom. He sent me the best. Happy Mothers Day Mom. I love you with all my heart! xoxoxoxo
