Update on Trav's School

Just thought I would update everyone on how Trav's school is going. He is taking a full loan (17 credits). He is doing well. So far he has an A in all of his classes including Chemistry!!!! He has his first Chemistry test next week, so hopefully it will continue to go well.

My school is going okay. I have to do my student teaching and then I thought I was done. I talked to my college the other day and since I haven't been enrolled in the teaching program for a year and a half, the state has added more requirements for the program. I thought I was done and I found out that I now have four more classes to take, 3 of them being sciences. I was so upset. But, there is nothing I can do but complete the classes. I am just hoping to have everything completed by spring so I can start applying for a job before the schools are out. Otherwise if I don't find a job we may be stuck here for longer than we wanted.

As far as how things are going with Travis' Chiropractic Program, he is meeting with someone from one of the colleges in Las Vegas in October. He is considering two colleges. There is Parker Chiropractic College in Dallas Texas and Western States Chiropractic in Portland. Texas has stricter guidelines for teachers so depending on my test score, that will decide if we go to Texas or not. They will accept the Arizona Teachers Exam but I have to score higher in order for them to accept the score. We have been watching the weather in Portland, and oh my gosh it is nice!! After Zach's first soccer game at 108 degrees, Portland is looking WONDERFUL!! But each place is appealing in its own way. What ever happens, happens and it is meant to be.

That is it for now, I will post pictures of Zach's soccer game soon. I just wanted to brag about Travis for write now.

Zach's Tooth

Well, Zachary lost his first tooth today at school. I was excited yet sad. I was looking forward to pulling it myself. When he showed my I cried because he is getting so big!!

Zoey Pulling Up!

Zoey is now pulling up on everything!! Today she managed to pull herself up onto the TV. She didn't know that I was watching. So went I said her name she turned around like she knew she was in trouble. She is so darn cute!!!

Baby Turtles

Zachary had a turtle for almost three years and about 6 months ago he went outside to feed him and the turtle had flipped himself over and was dead. Zach took it very, very hard. My mom found him some new little turtles and we surprised him the other day. We had him close his eyes and my mom put one in each hand. He was so excited!!! Just thought I would share these cute pixs with you. He has named the boy Raphael and the girl Zoey.
