cameron and i are the sunbeam teachers in our ward. we were called about a month after we moved into the ward (sometime in july). we absolutely love it (seriously! who ever would have thought love and the concept of 8-10 three-year-olds running around and crying would go together?). the kids absolutely love cameron--he is so funny around them. in no way am i saying that he is boring around adults, but he is seriously hilarious around them. every week i go home with sore abs due to my constant laugh attacks, which are caused by both the children and my husband. we have endless funny experiences with these kids!

cameron is not particularly fond of singing time. the only reason i did not say that he absolutely hates it is because we have been practicing being positive about the whole ordeal so our kids do not figure out that we hate singing time more than they do. but, we do love class time! last week we taught a lesson called "we are grateful for night and day". oh, how i love the "lessons" for sunbeams. for our art project, we made headbands with the sun and the moon on them. below are pictures of the headbands that cameron and i made--stylin' eh?

frost bitten train

cameron and i love driving around and taking pictures of different things. below are some pictures of an old train that we had to hike through the snow to get to. we thought it was interesting to see a train buried in the snow. i was wearing some slip on, backless shoes, so ended up nearly getting frostbite. hopefully these pictures were worth it!

you know that you are getting old when . . .

a few weeks ago, cameron and i watched all of the kids while mom and dad larsen went on their cruise. yep--all the boys. we actually had a great time. the kids love cameron (sometimes i get jealous) so were really excited about the concept. it was fun to play with them, make dinner, and get them ready for bed. it was not fun to try and do all of the things mom does while keeping up with school and work.




so, while i was taxiing the kids around to their various destinations, i decided to take on the mommy role at maximum capacity--i turned the radio station to 100.5, which is a classical station that also broadcasts shows like NPR. i honestly do not know what got into me. i thought it was just because i was driving a giant-mini bus. it turns out that even when i took the kids around in our car, i still listened to 100.5.

today, i drive around town listening to classical music.
it's official--i am getting old.
