School

So some have asked what I am going to school for. I am getting my Bachelors in Early Elementary Education with a double major for special education. I have always enjoyed working with children, but have a soft spot for children with special needs and just love to be around them. A few years ago I did some volunteer work for and equine therapy group that helped disabled children learn to ride horses. I think this is what initially sparked my interest in working with children who have special needs. I am hoping that my education will also help me when I have time to volunteer in equine therapy again. Right now I am too busy with family, school, work, and church callings to do any volunteering. Someday I will have more spare time though and I will most definitely find an equine therapy group to volunteer my time.

FINALS ARE OVER!!!

I feel so much better now that my finals are done and over with for this semester. I think that I will actually be able to focus on my family, church callings and catching up on my blog site. My poor children and Matt have felt neglected for about the past two weeks as all I have done in my spare time is study and homework. I think that they may be as relieved as I am that they are over with.

Snowstorm

Wednesday night we had a big snowstorm that continued into Thursday. We only received about ten inches of snow, but the wind blew like crazy. As a result we had drifts in our yard that were about five feet high.

Here are some pictures of the girls playing in the snow Saturday night. It was significantly warmer on Friday and Saturday and some of the snow melted. You can still see how much snow there is though in these pictures.

Jessica was trying to slide down on her stomach, but I think she went face first instead.

Matt and I loved this storm because it allowed us to miss two days of work. Two wonderful days in the house staying warm with our kids and playing games. There is not any other way I would rather spend my days than with my kids.
