Why I love teaching

As this school year comes to a close I decided to let the kids "grade" me by filling out a survey. I got some great feedback and some very interesting responses. I put my favorites below!

 

 Don't know if I taught them this but it's a good thing to learn.

Proof that I'm a mean teacher.

Hehe, crazy students.

I'd say this was successful.

 And this is why I teach.

Zack has some pretty good facial expressions.

An actual smile!

Zack is a pretty solid sleeper.  We like that.  Zack now smiles and laughs and it's awesome.  He is now able to grab things.  Often he'll grab his blankets and burp cloths and pull them up to his face.  He also loves being outside.  He's not sitting up yet but he really wants to.  Good times all around.

Two Months and Some Change

These are a few pictures of Zack that we have taken recently. He's now two months old and getting super chunky. His new tricks include smiling and laughing. You know, it's all good.

One Month Already

Zack is already 1 month old! Here are some random facts about his life so far:

-He loves to stick his tongue out
-He has started to sleep about 6 hours every night
-He gets really grumpy when he is hungry and isn't fed right away
-He loves to pee every time you change his diaper, especially on his dad
-He started smiling when he is done eating and is drifting off to sleep, or when he farts
-He hates his bed - if he wakes up in his bed and is not being held he gets very crabby
-He is getting chunky and developing some wonderful arm and leg rolls
-He loves the color orange
-Socks fall off his feet with in two seconds
-His eyes are getting more brown by the day
-If he could have his way he would eat constantly
-He is very wiggly
-When you hold him he likes to push away from you and look around
-He has his Aunt CJ's disease where he stares off into space without blinking for a long time
-He can sleep through anything but when he wakes up he wants to be eating that second
-He is pretty good in the car
-He sneezes a lot, and loudly (just like his Nana)

I am going to try to take a picture of him with his little monster every month so we can see how much he grows!

Little Bean

Zackary Adam Sanchez was born Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 5:57 pm.  He was 8 pounds 4 ounces and was 20 inches long. Here are some (or a lot) of our favorite pictures. I am sure there will be more to come. Enjoy!

First time being a dad.

Day 2. Snuggling with Dad.

I love those cheeks, too bad he isn't all swollen anymore and his cheeks are normal size now.

Making faces at each other.

Meeting the cousins.

Nana and Papas three grandkids.

"Little Ear"

He is a good sleeper so far.

In his caccoon.

Cute tongue.

Dad and Zack's hands. So cute.

Wide awake for a picture!

I might be obsessed with his hands!

Dad helping Zack work out his arms and legs.

New blankie from Nana. Super cute and it matches his new room.

Cute little sleeper.

New beginnings

A few Weeks ago we had New Beginnings for our Young Women. It was a really nice event. I didn't get much pictures but I was in charge of the food and decorating so I did take some pictures of that! (The pictures are from my phone so sorry if they are blurry)

The Yummy Food Table!

Me and our YW president made these cute fruit skewers with all the value colors.

We put Rolos in the bottom of the tin for the new value "Virtue."

The theme was Stand in Holy Places so we had plenty of temple pictures.

We had the girls cut out and decorate shoes to help remind them to "Stand" in Holy Places.

It was a really good activity and we had all our active YW come! Still working on the many inactive girls we have.

Blue and Green Quilt Top

 I started this quilt back in the summer when I was living in Ohio. I finally was motivated to finish the top. Hopefully I can finish the back really quick and get it quilted! It is eventually going to be the bedspread for our bed.

Baby names

I finally told students that I was having a baby boy in march and they will have a sub for at least 6 weeks. They immediately began shouting out name ideas. I had them write their ideas down so I could show "Mr. Sanchez". Here are the ones I thought were pretty funny...

I love the notes about Damon and Damian.

I got a lot of Michael, but not one was spelled correctly - like Michelle.

And Atom instead of Adam. Love it!

Salt Lake Temple Lights

I am in YW now and for mutual on Wednesday night we took the girls up to see the lights at temple square. It was nice because four of the six girls who came were less active.
