Track Meet

Corbin and Gabby are in track this year. I think they are having fun being involved and trying to beat their own times. I went to their track meet on Friday but the weather was soo cold. I bailed early. I knew better and should have had more blankets and worn a winter coat. Spring weather...woof. Baby Shahar is getting so chunky, she's so cute. I'm ready for the school year to be done. I still have 8 more Mondays so I need to pace myself for sure.

Spring Break Continued

Spring break is coming to an end. Wipe a tear. We had a great week. We mostly just chilled which is what we wanted. Corbin wanted to go to McCall to ski but Piper and Ryan were adamant about not wanting to go so we didn't go. Ryan planned the week and made sure we were doing something every day like swimming, park runs, papa johns, things like that. Gabby went to Costa Rica! She had a great time beaching, rafting, ziplining, horseback riding, hiking, swimming, eating, what a great trip! 

Chase's son Hudson had a wrestling tournament over the weekend so we had an impromptu Beal gathering Friday night at the climbing gym with pizza. Yay. The next day a lot of us went and watched Hudson compete. He did not win a a match and the little guy was all tears afterward but he tried really hard. Now it's time to gear up to get back to work. We are on the downslope to summer break! 9 weeks!


Cute snuggle buddy.

Spring Break!

Woot! It's Spring Break. I'm not dying as much as I usually am to get to spring break because of my 3 weeks off during my maternity leave. It's still really nice though! I have about 9 weeks of lessons to figure out for early childhood professions and it's not easy to figure that out. Next year I think we are getting rid of that class and I'll just be teaching Child Development so that will be nice to have one less class. Corbin and Gabby joined track and Corbin got 1st in the 200 m in his heat and 2nd in the 100 m in his heat. Corbin is fast! Who knew!!! Gabby missed it because she's on a trip to Costa Rica with a group from school. The communication has been limited, I'm like I hope she's alive! I just heard from her an hour ago, she is alive. The weather for spring break is yucky which is typical for Idaho. We don't have any specific plans but it's going to be nice to do nothing.



My FCCLA club made breakfast freezer meals for the Ronald McDonald house.

Gabby had a choir concert.

We went on a walk last Sunday. The weather was nice!

Someone knocked over my mail box again! So annoying!

Luckily Gabe could fix it! 

Ryan wanted to make his own homemade chicken noodle soup. I helped him but he did a lot of it! It was good.




Just cause she's cute!

Shahar! She's so pretty!

So Far Away

I woke up bright and early Monday morning and drove over to Roy and Ran's Airbnb to help them load their suitcases, they didn't have room in their rental car. We caravanned to the airport and I hung out with them for about an hour until they had to go through security. I got teary saying goodbye but I didn't have a huge cry over it and I wonder if it will come at some point.  I miss them all for sure and I want to hold Shahar. Christy and I have plans to go visit. I'm waiting for my passport to come in the mail. We communicate often. I'm doing alright with it so far.

The week was good. I went to Gabe and Christy's for dinner several times which was great. I got my evaluation over with. It was super easy. I have the laid back VP and he was only in my room for 20 minutes and our post evaluation interview was about 5 minutes long. Great! The school year is less stressful to me now. We are closer to the home stretch and I've figured out a lot of things I was worried about. My culinary class will be catering to the teachers at the school so that will be super hard and I'll be glad when that is checked off my list. I'm excited to see my kids tonight!


Cute girl smiled at me right before she left!

Last hang.


Elmer's Breakfast
