Flash back!

My sister in law asked for baby pictures to compare sweet Scarlet with her awesome aunt. haha, No really she wants to know which side of the family she looks the most like right now. I found these pictures of when I was a newborn. Tender. :D
Julie, I'll try and find some at 3-6 months later.

The boys decorated the outside of the house. Lil'
boys love PINK!
My brother Troy, he called me sweetpea and took care of me to help with getting attention of the ladies. :D
Troy again. Julie, these may look like Scarlet simply cause of the crying at times.
Grandpa Hawkins, probably Gma's leg. :D Miss them!

Disaster! Bah!

I have spent the last week trying to figure out how to get a Utah Teaching Certificate! HOPING IT IS WORTH IT!

So far...

Background Check $74
Fingerprints $20
Praxis Test 9/17 $130
(Anyone taken the Praxis? I'm going to have to study.)
GEEEZ.

I still have to figure out if its worth the $$$ to add my endorsements to the UT Certificate. Or if they will even transfer. Man. Any thoughts?

I want to try to add Early Childhood and Reading Specialist. If I have to test for them, I won't add them.

The certification/ licensing is very different. I am more qualified in AZ than I will probably ever be here.

All I want is to have a classroom and a name plate... and adorable kids and apples... recess... crayons... copy machines... AH, I miss it all!

Not put together but you can see our house

Kitchen with Washer and Dryer! Classy.





I have a picture of our sink but the coffee shop internet is slow today. Its old and tiny. 3 cups fill it!

Guest beds (maybe) for you! : )
I washed sheets and made beds... Around each bed are several boxes!
