Ready or Not....

I don't know if I have talked about this already or not... but here it goes....

Tyler and I are finished in Rexburg in JULY!!!! This semester has been a difficult one for Tyler and I both! But we look forward to next semester, which should be somewhat of a relief. Then in July Tyler will twalk (I have chosen not to walk). Then in August we will be heading to Nevada. I am hoping to be able to Student Teach there. How cool is that?! It will be lots of fun to spend time with my Oma and Opa and be in warm weather for a change!

I can't wait for it to be April.... but even more JULY!!!

I NEED HELP!!

I need ideas for preschool!!! HELP PLEASE!

I am doing a lesson on traveling with friends and family. This means I need some "focus activities" that center around traveling with friends and family and that help the children to develop. I also need some free play ideas for the children, like dress up and things like that.

If you have ANY ideas please tell me them.
You can e-mail them starshine_brittany@hotmail.com
Or Comment! :)

THANK YOU!

BLAH

I have had a cold or something for over a week now. It is really annoying. My throat hurts, my voice is gone and I cough all DAY and NIGHT. It makes it hard for me and Tyler to get any sleep. Last night it was so bad that I was waking up every little bit until 3:30am. Around 4am was the last time I saw the clock and then I woke up at 7am. I must have been so tired that I just ignored the coughing. Poor Ty has not been getting good sleep. I feel terrible.

Sometimes when I am sick and I know it is affecting him, I sleep in another room, but this time, I just wanted to cuddle with him all the time, which only made it worse for him. Poor Tyler has been so sweet and nice during all of my sickness. Hopefully it will go away soon and we can both get some sleep. :)

I never want to forget!

This is an e-mail my Grandpa Gil wrote and sent to the WHOLE Litchfield Family. It puts it into words simple and easy to understand. Ty and I are happy we were able to help them out. :)

Well, thanks to a smart, giving and wonderful family....Dear OLD Gil forgot the passports for the trip.At 6:30 AM this morning I remembered (that I had forgotten).No UPS, No FedEx, won't let me have someone take a package to the airport and put it on a plane for Seattle (we need to do something about those terrorists that have killed the good old days).

Talked to Vaunn to see if he had any ideas.Then, while he was thinking, It dawned on me that I could drive from Portland (Rod's place) to Payson and back again in time for the ship tomorrow (yes, it leaves on a Sunday).

But, Vaunn had another idea - have someone meet me in Boise - GREAT idea.

So, I was going to have some neighbor drive to Boise.BUT, the Gil family then took over.

Long story short - the neighbor boy has already picked up the passports, handed them off to Laurie in Lehi, who has already handed them off to Amy in Bountiful, who is on her way to Pocatello to meet Brittany, who will then drive to Boise to meet Vaunn & Barb - then each will return to the original spot - more than 3 hours for Laurie, more than 7 hours for Amy, more than 10 hrs for Brittany, more than 15 hours for Vaunn, etc.

A wonderful family (doing a modern day pony express)

Here we go again....

The Winter semester started on Wednesday this week.

Tyler is doing his internship this semester with VW in Idaho Falls. Today was his first day and he said it went well! I am so excited for him! I know he will do GREAT!

As for me.... I am still working in the Student Teaching Office (Field Services Office) on campus and I am studying hard for all of my classes. This semester I am taking Preschool, Curriculum for Young Children, Math Methods, Teachings of the Living Prophets and something else.... but I can't remember what it is. haha.

Tyler is also taking two classes on campus this semester while he is doing his internship.

Graduation for Tyler and I should be this JULY! We are so excited. I will still have Student Teaching left, but Ty will be completely done. The end is in SIGHT! :)

I PASSED!!!!

I have now passed all of my State Literacy Tests!!!! YAY!

NOT ONE!?!

Unfotunately, I did not take one SINGLE picture in Olympia. :( Here is all the fun we had in Ellensburg though! :)

Tyler went to shovel all the snow off the deck and soon he had Amie and Ethan outside with him attempting to help. To distract the kids, so he could work on the deck, he told them to start making a snowman. They started to roll snow, but soon Tyler was helping them to make the perfect Snowman. They had lots of fun and after the Snowman was finished, they got back to work on the deck. The snow was off in no time.

The next activity on the list of fun things to do was making a Gingerbread House


Nativity- Tyler's family does a nativity every Christmas Eve! Here it is! Ty and I were two of the wise men.

CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN! The kids loved to eat all the chocolate! Us adults had lots of fun too!

Christmas Day!!!!!!!

Ty's Mission Reunion

Tyler's mission president and his wife (President and Sister Ope) came to Salt Lake City from Brazil and had a mission reunion. All missionaries who served under President Ope for the last 5 years were invited. It was fun to meet lots of Ty's old companions and friends that I had only ever seen pictures of. It was wonderful to hear him speaking so much Portuguese too! :) It was hard to get President and Sister Ope together, because there were so many people, so we did pictures with them each individually. The other picture is of Elder Smiley... I think that is his name... haha. Hopefully Tyler will correct me when he sees this if I am wrong. :)
