Amazing Preschool!!

I just registered Ben for Preschool. I can not believe it! He is really old enough to be in preschool.

I am very excited about the preschool I have found for him! It is an "academic and preforming arts" preschool. They will teach NOT ONLY the ABC's and 123's, reading, writing and sign language, but also Dance (creative movement, tap, ballet, jazz, and yoga), Sports, Tumbling, Violin (when he's four), "Kindermusik" (which is movement and music), and Musical Theater!!!!! They will also have a big preformance at the end of each year with costumes and such!! I am so excited! And, it is about $15 more (a month) than the other preschools I looked up in the area!

I checked it out and met the teacher and she showed me around. I was impressed. The BEST part to the whole thing -the thing that SOLD me on this preschool versus any others, was the fact that they have a place for parents to go and sit and observe the class on three TVs, away from the class. Neither the kids or the teachers will know if you're out there watching. You could be there early or stay after you've dropped the kid off and observe. To me, that shows confidence in the teaching and class management. I love that their open and will let you "see for yourself".

He starts in September. Crazy! He'll be in preschool for two years and then off to kindergarten. Time just goes toooooo fast!

I'M BACK!! Finally!

We moved in about three weeks ago. I went out of town for a few days- right after we moved in- and then Joe has been in Seattle for the past two weeks -and because of that I haven't had the Internet to catch up with everybody.

So, Now I am back. I don't have house pics ready to post, but I'll get some soon!!

So far we have been really enjoying the move. The library is great; they have three story time hours a day on three different days. We have scored some great books! -and, the library is right next door to the "water park", which we go to a few times a week. Sooooo FUN!! (We go early before its really hot. Perfect.)

We also go to regular parks around town too. Really fun too -just hotter.

I have only been to the temple once since we've been here. (Joe was gone, and two noisy round boys wouldn't make for a very peaceful temple experience. ;D )

Here are my "St. George Goals"!!!!! I am very excited about this new chapter in my life, and want to grow!

1. Attend the temple, at least once, every week!!!! And, take my boys there once a week. (Around the grounds and visitor center. They like it.)

2.Work out and get out MORE! (NOT be a home-body!)

3.Date my husband a TON more!

4.Give blood every two months. (I did this in high school and every chance I could in college -It always made me feel like really good that I could do this easy thing that could help somebody.There's a Red Cross here!!!)

5. Start back at Institute in the Fall.

6. Be a mad awesome coupon user and save a ton of money that way!

7. Be overall more organized and more efficient.

Anyway, so far so good. I am so grateful for this new home and new change of pace...For more options, and more to do with and for the boys. I am glad Joe no longer has to commute and that family time will be consistent and plentiful. I am thankful to our Heavenly Father for His hand in my life and for this exciting move. I feel very blessed.

I will be catching up with you all as fast as I can.
