Trouble

Good thing I am a Mary Kay consultant, or I would be even more upset.

Jakub did actually get some mascara on his long eyelashes.

New Calling!

The Sunday before Conference was our Primary Program. I teach the 5 year olds and I was excited to see them do so well. After Sacrament Meeting Bro. Pace asked John if he could talk to him. I didn't think anything of it I just hurried to the Primary Room. On my way to class after Sharing time Bro. Pace stopped me and asked if we could meet after church. "OK" Now I was feeling the pit in my stomach. Now here I sit 2 weeks later the new Primary President. I am nervous but excited. I am looking for any advice you can share with me. I need the perspective of other Presidency members, teachers, parents, ward members, anyone. What works and what doesn't?

PINK! PINK! PINK!

Chabot Space and Science Center

We spent Saturday morning going through the Chabot Space and Science Center located in Oakland. We started by seeing a film about astronaut training.

During our tour, J commented several times how much he loves science and wants to be an astronaut.
We think J would make a great astronaut. So would Jakub.
All three boys had a great time getting to see what it would be like to be an astronaut with some cool hands-on displays.

What did you do for FHE this week? At our house Dad cames home with a car full of boxes on Monday afternoon. A guy at work gave him Guitar Hero because he didn't play it anymore. The boys were thrilled. All 4 of them enjoyed jamming out.

So what was the spiritual lesson for FHE?

On Tuesday Joy School started. And the first house on the schedule was ours! These boys were excited to have their friends over for school. But throughout the whole day I kept trying to get Jakub to stay with the group and be a part of school. His comment was "this is not school mom" Well it might take sometime for him to get use to the idea of me being his teacher. Maybe the next 6 weeks as he travels to other houses he will get the spirit of Joy School.
I look forward to a 2 hours to myself, 2 days a week. Most of that time will be filled with Dr. appointments and hopefully some scrap booking.

1st day of 3rd grade

3 weeks of playtime

Jay got to ride in Grandpas car.
We spent a day visiting the Childrens Museum.
The favorite section for all the boys was Castle. They all loved dressing up and putting on plays with Grandma.

We celebrated Bin's Birthday at the pool.

We were able to have cake and ice cream with Great Grandma for her birthday too.
My siblings and spouses all got together for dinner one night. Lucky for me my baby brother and sister-in-law came with my niece that I hadn't met yet. I missed John extra that night.

We got all 10 grandkids together at the zoo. Grandma loved every second of it. We enjoyed a hospital carnival, and visiting my grandma (another great-grandma)
This is only a small glimpse of the many things we did. Thanks to everyone that made our vacation so much fun. I enjoyed all the visits I had with family and friends. I was good to go back and see everyone but I have to say it is good to be home.
This last picture shows how worn Jakub was one night. He fell to sleep on my moms tile floor.

One more thing..... to any of you out in the blogging world that haven't heard yet. #4 will be joining our family in February. We are super excited.
