I love posting video's!

Since I figured out how to post videos - I think it might be my new obsession! Plus then you can all see how crazy my fun little Ella is. She thinks it is so fun to be chased around the house (obviously!). After my back and the babies couldn't take it anymore I had to sit down to rest. She came in and signed more, over and over. We played the chase game for about an hour. Between John and I we were exhausted! I think that means we are getting old.

Ella LOVES the pool

Ella recently got a pool and she LOVES it. Even if we are just walking out to the car and she sees the pool she gets really excited. Then when she realizes that we aren't going to the pool she cries! The day of this video she was in the pool for 1 1/2 hours. She kept putting her face in the water spray and thought it was so funny. When I was sitting next to her with my feet in the pool (which felt so good!) she kept splashing my toes and laughing. She is such a handful, but so much fun. I can't imagine our lives without her. (There is a short and long version)

Happy Birthday Handsome!

I just wanted to wish my handsome husband a Happy Birthday! I have been so blessed to have such an amazing husband. He is such a wonderful father to Ella. Ella told me that her favorite person is her daddy! He is always playing with her and making us both laugh. I found someone as crazy and goofy as myself and I couldn't be happier. John is such a hard worker and I know he would do anything for us. I love you John!!!

What the back?!?

Some of you have been asking how I've been doing since my car accident, with my back and the babies... Last night I ended the night just about crawling around, my back hurt so bad. So I got up this morning and went to work as usual right? Wrong! I made it through 1st period with my class, but before 2nd period started I went to fill up my water bottle (which is only 2 doors down) and I couldn't make it back to my classroom! I was hanging onto the wall hoping not to fall over. Luckily someone from the office came rushing out to see if I was OK. When the tears started to well up in my eyes, she said she would call for a substitute to come in and take my classes the rest of the day. My sweet kids were very concerned and kept asking if the babies were OK. One of the boys said he would carry my purse out to my car, while another student was my crutch. They are such a great group of kids and I am going to miss them! So there's the update on my back! Hopefully it will get better in stead of worse.

Here are a few of my sweet students (ahhh Jr. High - you've gotta love it!)
