January Awesomeness

A month ago our bishop graciously gave us a gift card to our favorite restaurant (not Brick Oven if you can believe it). We wanted to save it for the perfect night, which turned to be New Year's Eve. This picture is really dark, but we didn't want to forget the experience.


We forgot to tell you guys that we had a baby...haha, j/k. This is at Cheyenne's baby blessing. I guess Ashley and Ben thought it would be funny to have a picture of us and Cheyenne. This is proof yet again that we are her favorite aunt and uncle.


Us with Ashley, Ben, and Cheyenne Dilsaver on the day she was blessed, (Cheyenne that is).


We do cool stuff. Ever heard of River Dance? On January 7th we went to 'Ireland: the Dance Experience'. Most of the dancers performing were teenagers. They did such a great job! I insisted we get a picture with them. Their costumes were as cool as the show!


On Friday night we got together with the Rands (a couple in our ward) to play games. As you can tell, it got a little competitive...


...and serious...


...I can't remember who won here, but it was a good time!


We have quite a history with the Rands. Sara and Trevor were in my Bountiful Court ward, Sara's sister was in our Alta ward last year, Trevor works for the Provo School District as a tech, and now we're in the same ward again. I haven't laughed so hard in a while. We had a blast!


On Saturday we got together with my co-workers: Lisa and Marissa. We ate Brick Oven, hung out, and played one of our favorite games 'Ticket to Ride'. In the photo: Clark (Lisa's son), Bernardo (Lisa's husband), Lisa, me, Marissa and Ted (Marissa's husband).

Note: Greg took the picture.


...They insisted I take a picture of my new "sheep". Thanks for the new coat Greg. Now I won't freeze this winter.

Happy Holidays!!

The week of Thanksgiving I taught my class about the pilgrims and the indians. Right before Thanksgiving break Squanto and Mary Pilgrim came for a visit. The kids loved it!!!


When mom, dad, Cassidy, and Dillon came for the birth of Cheyenne, we took a trip to Temple Square. This is me and Greg by the tree in The Joseph Smith Memorial Building. It's HUGE!!



Us and Aubry (Greg's sister) and Jesse at the First Presidency Christmas Devotional. Fun times.


Us in front of the huge tree in the Conference Center...you might say that we like to take pictures by Christmas trees.



The Historic Provo Tabernacle started burning last Friday (Dec. 17). Look at how sad my face is.



The tabernacle windows (and Greg's face).


The roof


The debris



This is the side of the tabernacle facing the post office.



The flames still going (look at the front door).



Is Christmas red or green???



My class before our BIG Christmas concert (Dec. 21, 2010).



Me directing the song, 'All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth'. Pretty cute.



We survived the show.



While driving down University Ave. yesterday, we saw a 'Snowmen Nativity'. It was so awesome, we HAD to take a picture.

November stuff

This school year I have seven Accelerated Readers in my class. For a six-year-old, receiving a medal for your reading comprehension is a HUGE deal. They have to work hard to reach their reading goals. I am so proud of them!!!



Me and Greg hit our one year mark since we started dating (November 3, 2009). Greg was so romantic and bought me roses. I have a great husband.



Here we are in front of our house (we live in the basement).



Our beautiful mansion (j/k).



We watch a ton of General Conference talks on the internet for FHE. We really have enjoyed it (thanks for taking the pictures Ashley).



Every year Farrer has an activity inviting parents to read with their child at school. This year Farrer didn't plan an activity, so I decided to plan one just for my class. We called it 'Parents and Pizza'. The parents came in to read with their child and then we served them Brick Oven Pizza, provided by my wonderful husband. It was a success (you can see it was a little crowded) and was a lot of fun.



Greg even read with some of the students.



The kids loved it!




For the last four weeks I have had a BYU cohort student (AKA student teacher) in my classroom. The kids enjoyed having two teachers. Friday was her last day so we took a picture.


I have a scary class!!!



Ever since we've been married, Greg has complained about his horrible vision. Well, on Tuesday we finally took him in for an eye exam. Now he has glasses!! I know this isn't the best picture, but now you will be able to recognize Greg when you see him. I think he looks good!!!

Fall Fun!!

I am just one of those people who loves to do things in season, I guess it's because I teach 1st grade. Since it is October I have to go to the Haunted Corn Maze or a Haunted House or something spooky. Of course the problem with haunted houses is that they are so expensive and last ten minutes.

Well, when I heard about this Cornbelly's Fall Carnival over at Thanksgiving Point, I got so excited. It cost as much as a haunted house, but had so many activities to do. It was not a let down at all. We went with the Burrs and had a blast for 4.5 hours!!


Me and Greg on a HUGE rocking chair at Cornbelly's. 'Cornbelly's ROCKS!'



Yeah, if you know us well you know we are rule breakers...j/k.


Jesse (bro-in-law), Aubry (Greg's sister), Greg, me, and Dad Burr. Here we are in the corn maze..kinda lost.

We were so happy when we finally made it to the end!!!

We quickly headed over to the pig races, bull rides, and finally to ride the pedal karts.
(In photo: me, Aubry, Jesse, Dad Burr, and Mom Burr).


Here is the Burr gang on the hayride. After the hayride we went straight to the haunted creature and haunted corn maze. What a Fun Fall Friday!! (in photo: me, Greg, Dad Burr, Mom Burr, Aubry, Jesse).

On Saturday morning I got up early to help out with the 5K race for my roommate Jess that passed away. 100 people showed up and made generous donations for the hospital and funeral costs. Here I am with some of the people from my old Alta ward.

P.S. I don't know why it is in black and white.



Here I am with my old Alta roommates: me, Cynthia, Kami, Serenity, and Ronnie. We are wearing shirts that have a picture drawn by Jess on the front. The picture is of a girl running with a cupcake...Jess loved sugar and running. On the back was a photo taken of Jess with her favorite quote "Wahoo!" It was a neat experience

September and October

The LAST first day of school at Farrer Elementary. Next year it will be Provo Peaks Elementary. Here I am with the faculty. I am the one in the blue shirt.


Labor Day weekend Greg and I went to Logan. Here we are by the Logan Temple. It is a very classy temple.


Here we are at Abravanel Hall in SLC. We really enjoyed the symphony and listening to Hillary Hahn.


We got to go to the Sunday afternoon session of General Conference with Ashley and Ben. It was a beautiful day.


Here we are in the Conference Center.


Here's the gang!!!
