I have to do better!

As I went to update my classroom blog I noticed it has been a year since I updated our family blog. I know it has to do with facebook. Well here is a quick update on our family.

Jason is busy with voice lessons. He started a new job at the Refuge and loves working there. He runs the restaurant and the club house. He will also start teaching with Grace Ann at Telesis in a few weeks.

Tyler has turned in his Eagle project paperwork. It will get sent up to Las Vegas this week and we should know if about three weeks if he is an Eagle Scout. The project was tough but the paperwork was a project within its self. He also has done two plays this summer Into the Woods and Alice in Wonderland Jr. He enjoyed both but Into the Woods was his favorite.

Katie has enjoyed being the Dodo bird in Alice in Wonderland Jr. She has also been busy babysitting. She is spending the next two weeks in Pahrump with Uncle Johnny and Aunt Angie. She is hoping to earn enough money to buy an I-pod touch.

Noelle enjoyed being a park kid and rock lobster in Alice in Wonderland. She has been busy reading and working on getting ready for third grade. She is looking forward to having Mrs. Carson next year in school.

I have been busy tutoring and kid sitting this summer. I was able to go to girls camp in Pine Valley Utah. I was very worried about being called as camp director but it was a wonderful time. It was Katie's first time at camp. I am looking forward to getting back to teaching. I love my job!

Well my goal is to at least post once a month. I hope I can do it!

End of Summer

Well summer is almost officially over. The kids have to go back to school a week from Monday. Teachers get to go back tomorrow. I thought I would post a little of what we did this summer.
1. Tyler and Katie were able to go on a pioneer trek from Williams to Flagstaff. They both had a good time and learned a little what our forefathers had to do for us.
2. Noelle logged in almost 40 hours of reading for the summer reading program at the library.
3. Jason officially opened the Fallis Vocal Studio and now has 5 students.
4. I enjoyed my kids, read some good books, and relaxed. All good things a teacher should do over the summer.
I am excited because I get to have my own classroom. In years past I have always taught in the library. I have my room decorated in red, white, and blue. I think we need to become as Americans more patriotic. That does not mean I agree with President Obama because that is the farthest thing from the truth. I think a little patriotism would go along way.

Here are some pictures of the kids earning their Honor Roll Certificates. Katie is behind Mr. Lawslo in Noelle's picture. Thank you Mr. Lawslo for getting in the way.

Tyler's Eagle Project Photos

Eagle Project

Well we have almost completed Tyler's project. It looks very nice and we have addded some pictures so you can see the progess we have made. The last thing to do is to add the numbers and lettering to the courts. I have to make an appointment to get into the school grounds so
Tyler can get this done. I would like to thank everyone that helped. I am so
happy that my dad could come down and help from Nevada.

EAGLE PROJECT

Help Tyler Fallis complete his Eagle Project and aid in improving a school in your community.

We can't wait!!!

Do you ever feel like you are waiting for life to happen or do you feel like you are always running to keep up? I have felt a little of both lately. I feel like we are always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Noelle broke her foot four weeks ago tomorrow. I asked the doctor if I could have a punch card and he said to me, "Flo this is why people think you are so funny." I explained I was not trying to be funny. I guess the Fallis family is helping the country get the economy going one foot doctor at a time. Noelle got her second cast on Friday and we have blinged it out. It looks nice and if I knew how to get pictures onto the blog I would show everyone.

Grandpa Fallis looks like he is healing from his kidney surgery. His scar is looking much better. Noelle is happy his stomach no longer looks like Frankenstein. He is still tired but this is normal. Grandma Fallis was able to have her eye surgery so she can now see better than me. I am jealous that she no longer needs glasses.

Our big news is Tyler has set a date for his Eagle project. He will be doing his project the day before Mother's Day. I think that will be the best gift ever. It will be nice to have this project off of our to do list. Katie is getting ready for her dance recital. She has also going to be inducted into the National Jr. Honor Society in a few weeks. She has the brains of her father.

I am waiting for summer break from school. We have 8 weeks left so it will be a while. In the mean time I will look forward to small things. No cast for Noelle, Tyler's Eagle project, Katie and the dance recital, Star Trek and X-Men movies. Thank goodness Harry Potter will be soon also.
