BUSY!

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY are our lives right now. Tate's finishing his Ed. Spec. degree, I am teaching at CWI and writing some curriculum for Melba. Sawyer is busy learning and discovering new things each day. We are all doing great and enjoying life! I might feel inclined to write more or perhaps post some pics if there was any indication that anyone actually reads this blog. Alas, there is not, so this post is what it is!!

Quick update!

I decided to take the day off today to enjoy some well-deserved relaxation so I actually have a little time to update the blog. I have been teaching at CWI for the past few weeks and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! It is so wonderful to teach for an hour with zero interruptions and zero attitude and disrespect from ungrateful students. I am so happy to finally be teaching college.

Tate is keeping extremely busy as well. He is enjoying his new job as principal but has quickly learned that there is a lot of work that goes into running a school. Hopefully he will be able to keep up with everything.

I took Sawyer in today for his 15 month check-up. He weighed 21 pounds (16th percentile) and was 33 inches (84th percentile). I can't believe how fast he is growing up. He is learning new things everday. Here are a couple pics from today. He is such a wonderful little guy that he even helps me clean the kitchen!

Everything Else (3 of 3)

In other news...I got a new job or I guess I should say another job. On Tuesday I am beginning to teach two adjunct math courses at CWI. I am super excited as teaching college has always been a goal of mine. It is not Harvard but it is a step closer, I think. Tate also got a promotion at work. He is now the principal of the new alternative school that Melba has started. We are so excited for our new jobs and enjoy all of the opportunities that life has brought us lately. In Sawyer news, he has become quite skilled with using a fork. We have also begun potting training him. The first few attempts were unsuccessful as he peed on the floor but he is now starting to enjoy sitting on his little potty. On another note, we got a new living room set and a new car. We have had a wonderful year this year and thank Heavenly Father for everything that we have been blessed with! Here are a few more random pictures for your enjoyment!!!

New Year's (2 of 3)

On New Year's Eve we had our annual Leavitt Cookie Cook-off. A contest that the contestants prepare for all year. This year I made chocolate chip sandwich cookies with a cream cheese filling, half dipped in chocolate. I must say, they were amazing! I was planning to take the title for the third time, but it seems as though some of the judges, despite the fact that my cookies were by far the best, decided to choose a cookie of a person who had not won the contest yet in order to keep morale up. That person was Nichole, who I must say, made a pretty nasty sugar cookie. Jealous you say...absolutely not!! Here are some pics from that event.
