Back in Utah

We are back in Utah now. We came back to really beautiful weather and just missed a horrible snow storm back east. We were very grateful. These are a few pictures from some of our weekend excursions. We went to Philadelphia one weekend and then into the city another. Anja was so excited to go to the Disney store. She was a little shy to have her pictures taken with Captain Hook and Peter Pan, but she still talks about how fun it was to have the pictures taken.

Anja is a total girl. The last picture is of her after she put on some lip gloss her Gran gave to her. She spends most of the day in princess dresses (or in her diaper because she is changing dresses). Denver just loves it!

I am glad to see so many posts! It is great to be able to keep in touch with everyone!

Back from vacation

Hello again-

We are back from a week vacation in Grand Cayman. As you can see, Sara spent a lot of time naked on the beach. Life is good!

It is good to see we have some new additions to the blog! The more the merrier. Keep posting stuff, I check this regularly and love it when there are updates. Sara and I will be in Idaho in 2 1/2 weeks (April 7). I can't wait! Hopefully we will get a chance to see some of you there.

Love to all,

Chelsea

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Okay, its a day late, but still . . . a tip o' the green to all of you!

Just a quick hello. Hope everyone is doing well and that the weekend treated you well.

Love,
Cindy

Thanks for the invite Kasey!

I think I am finally up and going. I am not very computer smart when it comes to this. I just got back from the Nascar races in Vegas so I am very behind. I think this is a great idea. Hopefully the rest of my family will join in. John and Jana do not do much with the computer, so they may have trouble. All is well with us. Lyle is home from AZ for the summer and we are starting to golf. Dustin is in school still, bored and starting to do generals. Hope he survives. He is not into studying. He will have to learn fast. I would love to see pictures of all the new babies in the family.
Love to all of you!

hand washing??

well hello. i don't really have anything exciting going on, but i thought i would share a story from school. i have been subbing all over idaho falls and today i was at skyline high school. i was teaching u.s. government to seniors. okay - let me clarify. i ran technical support for the video the teacher left for the students. very little teaching actually recquired. i was feeling bored so i had the students write a quiz from the video they watched and then give it to another student in the class. it was great. anyway, in one of my classes one of the students told me he wanted to shake my hand. i told him no. he then asked why i wouldn't shake his hand. i used the excuse that he had gone to the restroom at the beginning of class and i couldn't be sure he washed his hands. he feigned offense and then offered me his other hand and told me it would be clean! ahhhhhhhhh - i did not need to know that. i had to walk away because i was laughing. needless to say i still did not shake his hand! i hope you all had wonderful weeks. i will keep random stories coming - the kids are highly entertaining!

p.s. - does anyone know how to multiply fractions using addition? some students had a worksheet monday and i didn't know how to do it so i had to show them the way i learned.
for example: 1 1/2 x 6= 6 + 3 = 9.
i finally figured that one out, but how in the world do you do it if both are fractions?

Travel plans

Hi!

I know this is the "Hunter Cousin" blog, so I hope I don't offend anyone by including a picture of a Hunter Aunt (my mom). The picture is from a stroll we took today (yes, they are wearing short sleeves....gotta love Miami in the winter). Sara is now five months old. Her favorite things are rolling over and hand sucking. Life is good.

Sara and I are going to be in Idaho for a few days in April. We arrive on Easter Eve (April 7) at night and will be there until the following Saturday (April 14). I would love to see anyone who is going to be around during that time.

Stay warm up there!

Freezing in New Jersey

Hi All!

Just wanted to let you know we had a great time in Philadelphia. It was really nice the first day, but the second day (our zoo day) was not so nice. It started to get really cold. It is even colder today (below zero with the wind chill). I think it is supposed to snow tomorrow. I am sure it isn't nearly as much as Utah has received. We are planning on spending some time in NYC this weekend. Hope you all are doing well!
