Welcome Baby Kason!

We have a new addition to our family! My sister had her baby November 5th! She had a healthy baby boy and named him Kason William Redford! He was 7 pounds 6 oz and 20 inches long! Both baby and mom are doing well and she couldn't be happier! She says he is such a good baby and I'm glad! I just wish we lived closer together so I could hold my new nephew :( Congrats and we can't wait to meet him!

Much Needed Update!

So as you know, I have been quite the slacker when it comes to my blog :) I could blame my computer being extremely slow and constantly kicking me off.... but i wont!!!
Nothing much has changed in our lives...yet. But in a couple of months we know that it will drastically :) I am teaching Kindergarten and 4th grade Languauge Arts. The 4th grade at one school and the kindergarten at another. They are only about 3 miles apart but its definitly not something I would recommend a pregnant first year teacher but its doable :) Other than being really tired at the end of the day, its going pretty well! I have been extremely blessed to have such a good pregnancy during this time. I am 27 weeks along and have started to feel pregnant :) Shes very active and healthy! Shes getting bigger and stronger so her movements are definitly noticeable! She does not like it when I fold my arms and put them on my tummy! She kicks me if I leave them there for very long... Hahaha it makes me laugh! My last doctors appointwent went very well and I have another in a couple of weeks. We havent really started baby planning because life is already crazy as it is! I know its going to come faster than I am ready for but hopefully it will just come together (haha right) so if any of you have any advice... it would be much appreciated!!
Britt is of course enjoying the football season :) Working hard, long hours still. Utah is doing well and has only lost 1 game!! They have 5 more season games and then after that will depend on how the rest of the season went :)
My sister is due the first of November but we are all anxious for him to come now ;) It just sucks she lives so far away :( I can't wait to see who he looks like! We wish her all the luck in her delivery!
Hope everyone is also doing well! Take care :)
Britt, Amanda, and Baby Girl

Change?! Not so sure I like change...

The craziness just keeps flying at us! I am now teaching 1/2 day 4th grade and 1/2 day Kindergarten. One of the schools I was at had to surplus a couple teachers because they didnt get the numbers in to keep all the teachers. Which in a way is ridiculous because after they lose the teachers, the class sizes go way up and come on people... kids do not learn with 27-32 kids in the classroom. In a way thats where Utah's education system is ridiculous. So i was moved to a new school to teach 4th grade... So that means ANOTHER classroom to set up, a new ciriculum to learn and prepare, and new students to know and teach. Luckily I have a 3 day weekend to kinda get up the energy to start again on Monday.... The joys of being a new teacher and getting moved around to where ever. But at least I have a job and for that i am extremely grateful!!!!
Britt also has been working longer hours than usual. Most days I go to bed before he even gets home and he leaves before I get up. So any spare moment that we can see each other is very much appreciated! I just keep telling myself it will only last a few more months and it helps :) Well thats pretty much it right now, we are pretty much workaholics that are never home... haha! Hope everyone else is doing well! Take care :)
