1st day of school 7/27/09

By Pam Jorgensen -
YES! School started for us on July 27th. The day after Chase's 11th birthday! Our school district follows a modified "stretch" standard school year. We start so early because we get 2.5 weeks off in October AND at Christmas AND in March.
I absolutely LOVE this schedule!
Here are my 3 Freedom Falcons!
See Carson there on the left? Isn't he too small to go to "real" school?
No...he isn't
Carson was not lucky enough to have Tessa in his class.
Maybe the teachers are the lucky ones to not have them together?
Carson at his desk in the back of the room
Rylee is in the 3rd grade now

Chase is in the 6th grade
That's his homeroom teacher in the back with the drink. He has 2 teachers that they trade off with depending on the subject being taught.
I spent a little too much time peeking in on Carson.
It was fun to sneak this picture without anyone noticing.
After school...we brought in donuts to Chase's class because his birthday was yesterday.
He was a hero on the very first day!
I was so busy peeking at Carson this morning that I failed to get a pic of Mitch, the BIG 8th grader before school.
This is him when I picked him up...

...with the Sonic drink we got him

All in all the first day of school was fantastic! Everyone loves their teachers. They all have loads of friends in their classes. There was very little homework given out. We went to Sonic after.
It was a perfect First Day of School!

A Game of Memory

STOP "JUST LOOKING" AND PLAY, DAB-NABBIT!! Okay, I am stealing this from a friend's blog, but I think it will be fun. Here's how it works: 1. As a comment on my blog, leave one or more memories that you and I had together, or just some memory of me. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot. Anything you remember! 2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. :) If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments or send you an email. (You know, you non-bloggers can still post comments. Just click "comments" below this post...) It's that simple! I hope everyone will play!

A Huge Sigh of Relief!

After 16 years working for Intel Corporation without fear, Scott was finally a wee bit worried when the latest round of lay-offs was announced. Sometimes they eliminate the ones who've been there longer. Sometimes they get rid of the new guys. Here in Arizona - Scott was both. He's been with Intel for 16 years but was one of the newbies at this site. This was the first time we felt nervous. Intel announced they would be eliminating about 10% from each of their sites world-wide. That meant 300-400 jobs lost here in AZ. They announced this MONTHS ago. They kept putting off the final date to let us know if we had a job or not. They kept us hanging, hoping, wishing, PRAYING, wondering... Until tonight - Scott's job is SAFE. He will keep his job. HALLELUJAH!! In an effort to avoid being jobless, homeless and faithless, Scott decided to contact his former boss (the good one, Larry) to see if there were any options back in Albuquerque, NM (or Rio Rancho which is where...

15 Years - that's right...you heard me!

2 dozen roses and a Sonic drink! What more could this girl ask for? How 'bout this? A new wedding band! (Scott wants it to be called an Anniversary band) I've always loved my original ring. Scott picked it out himself with only one suggestion from me...I like baguettes. He did a great job. As I have gotten older though, I have had a new desire. A ring that will not cause bodily injury. I can't tell you how many times I have innocently swiped my hand and a poor, unsuspecting soul (usually one of my kids) gets a scratch right up their face! Carson won't give me a fist bump because he's scared of the ring. And I only had to hint to Scott ONE time and it was quite a while ago!! I'm a simple gal. I don't wear jewelry often. It took me YEARS to get use to my wedding ring and finally not take it off every night. This new band is PERFECT! Simple yet so pretty. Thank you my dear, dear Scotty. This 15 years has been so fun! Let's do it again! Aw...what the heck!...
