Green Family Fun

Bryce and I celebrated our two year anniversary!! Yay! We spent it at a condo in Bear Lake and it was super nice and relaxing. We are so happy and in love :)

I'm done teaching the little kindergarteners. Bryce is still working like crazy and keeping up with school. I am so excited that school is almost over except the end of my homework does not seem near so it isn't real yet.

We will be spending Thanksgiving with the Greens and I am actually making some things to bring to the feast so hopefully all goes well there. Love and miss you all.

Special happy birthday to Link!! (We love him lots)!

Findley Family: Crazy Crap

I know it is a classy title, moving on:

We are getting super excited to see the fam in just about 2 weeks! So excited, in fact, we shook all of Oklahoma (hardy...har...har...**cough** -old man joke-).

Yes, we had 3 earthquakes in 2 days. It was a little unnerving (ok, kind of a lot), and I had no idea that they were so scary even when they don't cause damage. I have to say, though, the one on Saturday had me about ready to wake Link up to hide under the table :) It is funny because people out here don't really know what to do because they didn't have a billion earthquake drills a year in Elementary school like we did. Good thing Matt and I are here to show them the way!

All-in-all, it has just been very exciting to say the least. In fact, Matt and I tallied up all the natural disasters that have happened since we have been here:

Tornadoes
Earthquakes
Floods
Microburst
Hottest month EVER in US history
Worst ice storm they have ever had
Hail storm (they were as big as softballs in some places, lucky we have a garage now!)

Good thing they don't have mountains or I would think a volcano erupting would be next. I am starting to think us being here is causing it, are you sure you guys want us to move back? We might bring it all with us :)

Good times :) Besides the earthquakes, we are actually doing awesome this month. But I have to share a "Link is so cute" story:

We walked into Kohl's (my girl friends and I) and this little old lady in a wheelchair, with her husband beside her, saw Link and said "what a handsome little man you have", and as I was saying "Thank you", Link walked over to her to give her a kiss, and then a HUGE hug. It was so sweet, and she absolutely loved it. He sure already knows how to work the ladies :) He has such a sweet heart, I hope he always remembers to care about others.

And that's all folks :)

The Findleys

Ross Family

Well there is not a ton new going on with the Ross' besides a contagious case of Christmas Cheer. I am usually one to give Thanksgiving its lime-light but Jordan jumped on the Christmas train and I don't want to be left behind!
This week we already watched Elf and Beauty and the Beast Christmas. Jordan has been practicing Christmas hymns on his piano. And we always have Christmas music playing on Jordan's ipod. He was of course very excited to learn that Justin Beiber had a new Christmas album! ha ha Oh Jordan :)
I about have all of my Christmas shopping done for Jordan and can't wait to wrap his presents and put them under the tree! We are very excited to spend out first Christmas together. :)
Any new Christmas traditions that you guys have started?
Jordan's family normally does a twelve days of Christmas for a family and each day gives them an ingredient to their cookie recipe. Maybe we'll start doing that! :)
With all of this Christmas cheer, we have not forgotten Thanksgiving and are very much looking forward to spending it with the Findley family!!!! If you could try to ask the tornados and earthquakes take a break during our visit, we would appreciate that! :)

Love you all!

Green Family

YAY! Just so you all know, Bryce has been officially accepted to his dream school! He will be starting at Wyotech in Sacramento, California on October 24, 2012. He is so excited, as am I. We had our first snow last night and it is kind of fun to know this will be our last Logan winter :)

I filled out my graduation papers this last week and it is super nice to feel like graduation is finally coming. As Bryce and I looked up schools in Sacramento, we found that if I start teaching full time (which my hopes are to work part time as a middle school math teacher) in two days, I would make as much money as Bryce makes in two weeks, working 40 hour weeks. Ha, it's crazy what they pay teachers out there!

That's what is new here. Love you all!

Findley Family: Harry Potter Dinner and Halloween

I have finally found some time to upload our Halloween pictures from this year :) We have an annual Harry Potter Feast/ Halloween Party with a couple of our friends and their family and so there are a couple pictures from there and from trick-or-treating :)

{This is the grand table where we all ate, and the pumpkins above are floating, just like in the books!}

Now on to trick-or-treating...

{Link with Maddy, his best friend}

{Tonya and Maddy, Link and I}

We had a great time this Halloween, and my favorite part is easily watching Link in his adorable costume. His big ole belly made him look like a pregnant Link and I loved it! He had such a great time trick-or-treating, and he would RUN from house to house. {Matt has a video on his facebook}. 

Well, just wanted to share a little from Halloween! Love ya
