Ha- I got one...


Man I really feel like a follower these past few days. My two friends who I blog with have both received "where's George" dollars at some point in time and I finally got mine over the weekend. I got it from the hotel we stayed at in Colorado Springs. I was buying a drink and it was part of my $4.53 change. Here is what I found out about my dollar; This bill has travelled 616 Miles in 115 Days, 13 Hrs, 50 Mins at an average of 5.3 Miles per day. It is now 616 Miles from its starting location. It started in North Dakota. I am excited that I found one. Now the West is included in receiving the Where's George Challenge.

Parent Teacher Confrences

So we had Mikayla's first Parent Teacher Conference today. It was so cute. We got nothing but great reports about her. Mikayla is now playing with (next to-that is what is appropriate) other kids. Her and Jaden argue like brother and Sister. They now understand what she is saying, and they admitted to jumping the gun about her speech and now that they know her they understand that she is an observer and that is just how she is. It was really good to here that, even though we went to have her evaluated it still feels better for the people who thought she had a problem to be the ones to say "we were wrong, and sorry for it all."
Miss Sally, Mikayla's teacher, has been asked to resign and not for any reason that has to do with her teaching. from what she says it is all personal. So it made my decision of taking Mikayla to a new school easier. Our drive to preschool on winter mornings takes at least an hour. I love the progress that she has made, but now that she is going to be 3 I want her to start making friends with kids who would be going to kindergarten with her. So I think I am going to start looking at the Schools in our neighborhood and find one that will fit her the best and only take me 5-10 minutes to get her to school.

I am not jealous any more

I was jealous of a few of my blogging friends. For those of you who do not know I am a big fan of famous people. I am not sure why but I want to be friends with famous people. And I can say that I am friends with people who have met the president, seen the pope up close and personal, had famous people comment on there WTJ, just to name a few. But I am happy to say that my and my Family, Billy, Mikayla, Seth, and My sister Brittany, and I are going to be in a food magazine. We were at Mt. Fugi enjoying our Sushi and waiting for our Hibachi chef when the owner of the place came over to us and asked if we would be in there picture. They had all kinds of food out and picture lights and a photographer. So our picture is us watching the chef make a onion volcano (includes fire) while we are amazed:)
I had to keep telling Mikayla to smile because she does not like the fire but she did great. You can't really see my face because she is blocking me but you can see everyone else so I am in it:)
Now I feel just as cool as my other bloggers:)
They are going to send me the picture soon so I will post it as soon as I get it!
