Diana, Rocky and Jamie celebrating after another TD!
This picture was taken after the game and the students went crazy on the field!
The crowd went crazy after another win!
Wow, It's been almost one month since I last posted anything on my blog. Does anybody care? Well I guess so because I have received several emails asking what happened to the blog updates!
Well here is what has happened at the Coffey household the month of October.
Yes the Empty Nestor's are surviving well. Jamie and I have found ourselves talking to each other thinking someone else is listening when neither of us were listening in on each others conversations. We find ourselves saying "what" a lot lately!
Ashley is lovin her room mates and loves the freedom I'm sure. We see her a lot and that makes the transition easier. She has been sick with a cold and it seems to be dragging her down along with a heavy schedule at ASU. She works part time for Jamie at his office. She is a huge help for him.
Andrea was diagnosed with Pneumonia last week and has been home in bed. She seems to be getting a little better and she misses her 24 little Kindergarten angels. Her students are learing and doing well. It's Fall into Learning month for her! Get it?
Chris is busy with work. He is a fantastic graphic designer if you ever need one. He just did our office logos for the remodeled office.
Jamie is busy finishing the remodeled office. If you haven't seen it yet come on by. It's nice and big.
As for me well I've been keeping busy with everything. Tuesday is Joy bible study that I decorate every week. My day starts at 7:00 am till noon. I really enjoy this ministry that God has placed me in. Joy stand for Jesus others and you!
The dogs are still in control at the house. They are absolutely beautiful,fun and very loving. Bear now weighs 89 pounds at 9 months old. Hershey is still the leader of the pack. She is the queen and knows it. Bailey (Andrea and Chris' dog) is darling and she is a squirt. She is petite like Andrea.
Well that's it at the coffeygrounds. Let us know what's up at your house.
What a game the Sun Devils played last night. Oregon showed up strong with a score of 19-0 in the first quarter. Then the Sun devils came thru. We were at the edge of our seats every quarter until they started to cream them in the 4th. They did it again. We are now 4-0! Go Devils. We love our new coach! The stadium is so full of energy.
Did I say Go Devils! Sorry Donna and Nathan for not mentioning the OTHER team UofA!
Well my two weeks I promised Andrea are up. It's been quite a challenge for me. First I had to turn into a morning person, (up by 6:00 am). Then sharpen my skills on my nursery rhymes, but I laughed at the things Kindergartners say and do. Over all it's so awesome to watch Andrea teach these little ones and fill the love she has for these kids. If you ever want to come see her class give me a call and we can stop by. It is fun a watch.
Hope everyone is enjoying there school year so far and if you are like me I'm counting the days for summer to be over with, two months to go. I always look forward to Halloween because I know the weather will be changing.
Well as many of you know Andrea asked me to help in her classroom for the first couple of weeks. She has a few students that only speak spanish and I am there to help translate. Well, let me tell you I kicked myself all day for not teaching my girls spanish.
The day started like this:
I woke up at 4:30 this morning because I was so excited for the first day of school. After tossing and turning I finally saw it was 6:15 and time to get out of bed! School starts at 7:55 AM (remember I'm NOT a morning person) but we had a lot of excited kindergartners waiting for the door to open and school to start. We also had a few crying parents. ( I remember being one of those parents 18 years ago).
The day was going great until I saw it was ONLY 10:00 am. It already seemed like I had been there the whole day. My feet were buring ( I know wrong thing to admit with a foot Doctor in the house) and I was ready for a nap when the teacher (Mrs. Hylton another thing to get used to hearing the kids call her) said it's time to go play at the playground. All I could think of was the heat wave we have been having. It was going to be hot! When we returned to the room it was time to water color ( big mistake) I was covered in all the colors from head to toes, that was when it hit me ,wait... I was suppose to be the translater and just then again I wished I had taught Andrea spanish!
So off to Lunch we go and I thought okay I can sit for a while and catch my next breath, when NO we had to show the little ones how to get there food thru the cafeteria lines. After lunch was over off to the playground they go (out in the heat again) till the bell rings.
The afternoon was looking better because the kids got a chance to put their heads down on the table to rest for 10 minutes but guess what ? The tables are made for little people. They were too low for me. Again I was out of luck now the only thing to look forward to was 2:25 when the bell would ring and it would be time to go home. With still 2 hours to go the little angels started to get home sick. One child would start to cry at one table and then the next child would start. I heard it all from I want to go home too I want my Mommy.
Kindergarten is a hard life. I took a long shower when I got home followed by a long nap. It's now 9:45 pm and my eyes fill like they weigh a ton. It's going to be a LONG two weeks but it's so worth it to make a difference in one little life. It is so awesome to watch Andrea teach these little angels. I just wish they would stay sweet and innocent.
Good night to all and pray for us during our first week of Kindergarten.
Love ya,
Liz
I surprised Andrea with her Kindergarten picture and of course only Mom and Dad thought it was a cute idea!
