Teaching Spanish

I taught Spanish today in Jacob's class for the second time. I'm on for Fridays from 1:30-2:00 these days. Here are some notes of what I've covered for future reference:

Vowels: a e i o u,
Numbers: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10,
Words/phrases: tu, usted,
como estas, como esta, muy bien,
como te llamas, como se llama, me llamo,
feliz cumpleanos,
buenas tardes,
senor,
hace calor

I also had some volunteers practice conversations in front of everyone.

Next time maybe:

Full alphabet (pronunciation making it easier to read words)?
More personal pronouns?
Songs?
El Desafio? (Challenging Senor Palmer)
Write Spanish words on the board, say words in English and have them say them in Spanish?

Aviation Festival

Went to the free OU aviation festival at the Max Westheimer Airport across the street from us. (It's not a normal airport. Mostly small planes, so not bad noise.) Also saw Sister Bassett previously from our ward in Folsom at the library, and they were previously from here. She was in town because they finally sold their house here.

Anyway, here are some pictures and videos from today. Jacob actually got to make a model rocket at the children's activity area, and it really didn't even cost anything. Quite a bit of fun.

Zekiel, Come Here

Heard that I wasn't updating enough. Zeke has picked up walking finally this week (as he was too wimpy/concerned about it to take more than a couple steps until now):



Oh, and here's curly head Anna. The humidity does this to her:



And here's from the Texas visit (so a month old or so):

In Oklahoma

I haven't posted for a while. Been on the road and then getting stable here in OK. Here's one picture from the trip, at White Sands:

Camp Nauvoo

This house closed this week, and we went to our ward camp out Friday night. Friday was also the Eyefinity yearly river raft trip. Well, anyway, we hadn't been to Camp Nauvoo for a while, and it will probably be longer until next time. It was high stress with all the kids and Anna always trying to run off, but we had some fun, too.

Surprise!

I noticed the other day from a friend's comment that we haven't posted about some unexpected news here.

We are expecting baby #6, due February 1st. Um, what else is there to say?

House Sold

Well we have a signed offer at least and for as good a price as reasonable right now. We feel very blessed. It's a load off our minds for sure.
