First Week of School is FINALLY Over!

Okay so this week was my first week of school. Holy Cow it was long! I was so exhausted by the end of every day that I would fall asleep on the couch at like 9:00 while watching the Olympics. But it has definitely been interesting. I have a lot of new students and a lot of old students, but they have all taught me some new slang I thought I would share...

1. Thas Gangsta! (As in, That's Gangster) Definition: That's cool
2. Yadig? (As in, You Dig?) Definition: Do you get/ understand me?
3. Yahmmy? (Pronounced, Yah-Me) Definition: Do you get/ understand me?
4. Sick! Definition: Totally Awesome or Cool... Example: Dude that movie was sick!
5. Sup Foo? (As in: What's up Fool?) Definition: What going on man?
6. Grip. Definition: A lot
7. Dang dems a grip a foo's! Definition: Wow that's a lot of people!
8. Ah been toe-ju! (As in, I've been told you) Definition: I told you so.

One of my students in particular is pretty funny with his slang talk. When he said, "Ah been toe-ju!" I said, "Dude what does that mean?" and he replied, "It means I told you so." I said (laughing), "Then why don't you just say I told you so?" His answer was something along the lines of ,"Cuz it who I am foo!" I can't exaclty remember... it wasn't in plain english.

More Birthday Fun!

Okay so this post should have been before the surprise party but I didn't have the pictures yet...so here it is a little late. The weekend we went to see Jadon when he got home from his mission, we also celebrated Randon's birthday with his family. He got to choose what we had for lunch and we had a little gift opening, too. He got some really great tie's and shirts. He also got a couple of gift cards and the moble me (a new thing for the Iphone/ computer). But the highlight of the gift opening was Zach's card to Randon. I have pictured it here because it would just be so much better for you to see it, then for me to explain it. There are also a few pictures of Randon's reaction to the card. He laughed til he almost cried. It was pretty funny.

IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY SHOUT HOORAY!!!

Happy Birthday Randon! I threw him a Surprise Party for his 27th birthday and it worked out perfectly! Some friends came and took us to get Ice-cream while everyone else snuck in the house. When we got home and everyone shouted "SURPRISE" Randon acutally jumped! It was fun. We played charades and visited and ate cupcakes! We just had a really good time! Happy Birthday Randon!Make a wish!

WELCOME HOME JADON!!!

Randon's Brother Jadon just got home from his Mission to Eugene Oregon, so we went to Mesa this weekend to visit. It was a lot of fun. We always love hanging out with family. We played lots of Mafia and other fun games. We will be going back this weekend to hear him speak in church, and Krissa and I will be singing a special number as well. WELCOME HOME JADON!
