Back to School for Bri

This was my first day of my sophomore year in college...August 22, 2011. I cannot believe I finally made it past freshman year lol after a few wrong starts I finally got it right and made it through. I am taking 14 credits this semester and have one in-class class and the rest of them are online. After the first week I am already disliking the in-class class; it has been about seven years since I have sat in a classroom for class and it throws me off big time. I was supposed to have two but lucked out and was able to switch into the online class the first day of school. My schedule is:

ENGL 175-Intro to Literature (In Class)

ENGL 277-American Literature

PHYA 155-Health and Wellness

GEOL 104-Natural Disasters and Hazards (Geology)

EDUC 290-Education Exit Seminar

I am almost done at the College of Southern of Idaho and then I will be going into my {JUNIOR} year of college!! So exciting I cannot believe the progress I have made. I was planning on going to BSU next fall but I have no idea if that is going to happen or not at this point because it all depends on my hubby getting a job so this winter we WILL have plans finalized and the boulder on my shoulder can finally be lifted off! Also Brittley this year will be going to Kimberly Elementary instead of Hansen and I could not be more excited for her! She starts September 6th I cannot believe I have a {First} grader already, I am getting old! :)

One {GREAT} Grandma

On Friday August 12, 2011, we took a short day-trip down to Blackfoot to take my sister home. She had surgery and was staying at my mom's house. While we were there we stopped by Grandma & Grandpa Chetta's house *Great* Grandma & Grandpa to my kids. When the kids started getting ancy the {GREAT} Grandma hung outside with the kids and ate popsicles with them! The kids are very lucky to not only have grandparents but *{GREAT}* ones as well!!

We have had a LOT of NatSooPah trips but it sure is a nice way to cool off in the {hot} weather! This time around we went with my mom and my cousin Bryce; Bryce is here from North Carolina and is hanging out until he goes to BYU-I...so we had to show him how in-land people cool off because of our missing ocean side! Once again our day was full of sun, swimming, sliding, and relaxing. At the end I have a video of my amazing back flip!!

Can you tell who has an attitude problem??

Jerome Fair 2011

It is tradition to go to the Jerome fair and so this year we went...{again} :) The kids L-O-V-E to see the animals and I love watching them interact with them. We did not stay as long this year because we were supposed to meet my mom at 8:30 and did not get out there until 10. It was a long sleepless night for the mom due to too much on the brain and I did not fully get to sleep until about 4...so getting up at 8 was not going to cut it. So here are some fun pictures of the kids at the Jerome County Fair!

This puppy was so cute and I was so tempted to take it home...I did not, but I called Clay and told him that I did. Quite comical if you ask me but the best part was he said, "You called me to see what my reaction was; to see if I said okay then you would have gone and got it." I just said yup...you (know) me to well!

One of the Jerome cheerleaders was there feeding/cleaning her horse so Miss Brittley got to ride the horse. She was so excited and would have stayed up there all day! My little cowgirl! Tate did was not as excited...he just said I want to get down

Checking out the piglets and their momma

Tate really liked the little {piggies}

*{Playing Dress Up}*

Here are some fun(ny) pictures of the kids playing dance class and dress up. I know if it were up to my hubby there would be no way that Tate would be allowed to wear "dress" up clothes but both Tate & I think it is pretty funny! :))
