I need your help!!




So, I have decided to go with a wild west theme for my classroom this year. In fourth grade, a lot of Utah history and social studies is taught, so I figured with a "cowboy"-type theme I could tie it in to the pioneers,indians, and the people that settled the west. I have a few different ideas, but if any of you have cute suggestions/decorations let me know! I have come up with a few.. but I need lots more! I am going to have "chuckwagon choices" for their choice in hot or cold lunch for the day. (which will be posted on a bulliten board in the front of the room) I am working on making a corral for the back of the room that surrounds my classroom library. I think I will call it the "reading ranch" or something like that... I also have a border that I will put around the walls on the ceilings of my room...What I really need help with is decorating the outside of my door..I want it to be very catchy and cute! PLEASE HELP WITH ANY IDEAS THAT YOU HAVE!! Thanks guys!

Havin' Some Fun!








July has been pretty fun... We have a BBQ at grandma's every Sunday. That is ALWAYS fun! All of the grandkids like to play horse-shoes and sometimes we like to play baseball. On this particular day, my cousin Demi was my BEST FRIEND. Now, this usually never happens. Demi doesn't like anyone to talk to her or sit by her or anything when we are at grandma's. For some reason, this day was different. She LOVED me! She kept wanting to take pictures and hang out with me. She kept calling me "Mary-Kate" and she was "Ashley" from the Olsen twins. She is such a cute girl and I love hanging out with her! The very next day we went on a trail ride! This is a picture of me and my horse by the pond, it was a very pretty ride! My grandma goes every Monday with my Aunt Susan and Shirley...This was the first Monday I was able to go... My grandma is awesome! She got off her horse like it was no big deal after our 4 hour ride....I however couldn't even get off my horse because I was so sore. Something is wrong with that! She is 70 and I am 23!! I hope I can do the things that she does when I am her age :-)
