President Hinckley

We can't think of a better man than President Hinckley. Seeing as how he is the President of the church we knew the longest in our lives we are thankful that we were able to listen to him speak on so many awesome subjects. For Clayton to be called to serve as a missionary while he was Presdient was pretty awesome. We will never forget his laughter and jokes. He is a great man that helped so many people. We are happy he is finally able to join his wife again and be in Heavenly Fathers presence. We are also thankful for all the temples he built. We Thank Thee O God For President Hinckley. He was awesome.

He's gone.'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'Moral of the story:Always let your boss have the first say.

Tales of a First Grade Nothing

So, I've been thinking a lot lately about my first graders this year. Never before have I had such an interesting group.
One day before Christmas, we were writing about what we see that is different at Christmas. One little boy who doesn't talk much as it is, wrote this, "At Christmas time I see a tree and a baby." Then he drew a picture of the Nativity scene. When the rest of my students had written presents and Santa, this was a very touching moment.
A few days later, I had another student pull me aside just before recess and say, "I can't go out to recess...I'm allergic to snow." This was a funny moment.
This week I had a student (if you have read the post about the runaways, you'll remember her as H=Hellion...) who came in to my class yelling at me. This was an angry moment.
I have decided that, at least most of the time, the touching and funny moments out-weigh the angry ones.
Anyway, just thought I'd share...

BOOOOOZER

So there I was at work, when suddenly just outside the window Carlos Boozer comes walking down the street. He was having his picture taken for the coolest bank in the nation a.k.a Zions Bank. Needless to say we all pulled out our cell phones and started taking pictures. He then came into the branch and signed pictures for all of us and then we all won tickets to the next game. Not really but that would have been cool huh. Anyways go JAZZ

Hair Cut

Clayton said those of you who have had a hair cut at the M.T.C. might appreciate this picture. We were at the Bergs' house and Clayton wanted a simple hair cut. By the end of the haircut Judy, Clayton's mom had the vacuum out and was trying to suck up what is left of Clayton's hair. For those of you who are worried Judy didn't succeed at getting all of it but lets just say there wasn't much to get in the beginning.
