Solo Flight Heli Tight!

I was so excited for Blake today! I watched his first solo flight at his school. He did great! I wasn't nervous a bit because I knew he would do awesome. Good Job Babe and sweet helmet.

Pine Valley Get Away

One of our favorite places to go on weekends is Pine Valley. We love spending time just hanging out at the cabin. It's nice to get away from things and just have a good time. We went on a hike to see all the fall leaves and I went on my first coyote hunt. My mom and I sat in the car and watched the guys call in the coyotes. It was actually kind of cool to watch and it was even cooler when they missed their shot. Sorry boys. Anyways, it was a great weekend and we look forward to our next Pine Valley retreat.

Blake starts school!

That's right! Blake is starting school and he is very excited! The school is "A Flight Above" located at the St. George Airport. The tuition was a little less than the Ogden school, he could get started a year earlier, and things just seemed good when he first went in their to check things out. Blake will receive his private pilots license and his helicopter instructor's license. I know he will do great and I know he will have fun!

So hurry up and bring your jukebox money!

The Love shack is a little old place where we can get together! I guess I'm a little obsessed with 80's music. Everytime I clean or cook I turn the music channel to the 80's station and start jammin. Music can be such a revelation, dancing around you feel the sweet sensation! And I don't even know how I know all these songs. I wasn't even born until 1986.... oh wait, I forgot that my older brother was obsessed with 80's (which is really funny especially if you know him) and maybe that's how I know all these songs. Now I've got it. Anyhow, love shack baby love shack...

Chop chop, snip snip, kerf kerf, piece piece...WHATEVER! I cut my hair!

Once upon a time there was this test...

PRAXIS! Gotta love it! On July 26th I took the beloved Elementary Content Knowledge Praxis test. This is the test that all teachers must take within their first 3 years of teaching to say they are a "highly qualified" teacher. I had studied a lot over the summer, got a good nights rest the night before, and I even ate Salmon (brain boosting nutritive) the night before as well! Yeah, I did everything I could to do well... AND I DID! I ranked within the top 15% of all test takers! My score was 183/200. I even received a nifty honorarium to congratulate my performance. (although cash would have been great) But I'll take it!
