Fall Break

This week is Fall break and Caleb and I did not have school today and do not have school tomorrow! We came home to my parents house last night to spend some time with them. Last night just happened to be the Viewmont/Layton football game at Viewmont. Dad always goes so he invited us to go along. Caleb was of course cheering on his own Layton High and I was cheering for Viewmont, and Viewmont won 9 to 0! No surprise. We also sat by Coach Thompson because he and Dad get a long really well. It's crazy when those two are together they will talk about nothing but fishing for a whole two hours. But Coach Thompson did say he would help me get a job next year. I love it! So far Mr. Tennis, my H.S. principal, also Caleb's bishop growing up, Dr. Homer, the Davis principal, and now Coach Thompson will all help me get a job. Hopefully this will work out and I can teach at either Viewmont or Davis! It's so ironic that I am so excited to be done with college only to go back to High School. Crazy. But I am definitely excited to have a job with a steady salary, even though it won't be a lot, and good benefits.
So the plan for today was to hang out this morning and then head back to Provo for work. However, my mom being the way she is told us we both looked a little "sick" this morning and needed a break from work. Ha! And just a little side note, my mom was also the kind of mom who would come to school and check me out just to go shopping because SHE was bored. In fact, sometimes she would come to school and get me and I wouldn't leave with her because I was the type of girl who hated to miss school because I hated having to make up my work. My teachers were always a little confused when I would be called to the office to leave and then would return back to class and not leave! But my mom does know how to talk me into not going to work. And yes, her strategy worked for Caleb too! So we both stayed in C-ville and had a way fun day. It was so nice to finally spend a whole day with my mom and not have so much stuff going on. Lately things have been so busy I feel like when I come home I don't even see my mom. And she didn't have to teach early morning seminary today so she wasn't even tired! We went to IHOP for breakfast per Gradma's request. My mom and I then went shopping and I finally found some cute clothes that Caleb actually likes. It's soooo hard to find good looking clothes for a 6'6" guy. Caleb usually does not like any of the tall clothes I pick out for him, but today I scored. My mom then needed a new camera because her old one broke. So we went and got her a new camera and had fun taking pictures today. Here are a few. And yes, it was so nice to have a full day break from both school and work. Love ya mom!
Here are a few pictures with the new camera!

Sammie sure does love Max

And we sure do love Sammie!

And this picture is not from today, Mom took this at the cabin last week and I LOVE Emry's hat and thought this picture was so cute of her.

Caleb always tries to be tough in pictures while I just try to look cute. Oh well. I guess that's why we "balance" each other out.

Happy Fall Break to us! Life is great!
