So.. It's been a while!

I haven't posted anything in a while so I thought I would just do a little catch up.. with no pictures (I appolgise.. it's my favorite part too!)
It has been pretty quiet at the Bassett house, nothing too exciting has happened. Erik is working, and hunting every chance he can get! So no luck with the RECORD book pig (only a few of you might know what a pig REALLY is.. in Erik's world a pig is a HUGE deer! Don't ask me why pig means the coolest, biggest buck you have ever seen, but it does!!)
I recently got my substite certificate, and had my first subbing experience today in the Preschool at Cowley! I was real nervous but there was an aid that SAVED me, Susan Peck and she did most of the work.. so all in all it was a good first day, and a good way to start me off. Now I am just worried about having to do it all on my own in the older classes! It was really fun working with the Preschoolers they are such sweet kids, and they mostly get to play, so who wouldn't have fun? In a couple weeks they already have me set up to teach P.E. ha!! That should be interesting:) Maybe it will inspire me to follow in Ms. Hubbles footsteps (just a joke for Lovell High) But.. I am really excited to start subbing, and getting out of the house a few days a week or so, the only NOT so fun part is leaving my baby Lauren.. She got to stay with her dad today, and he said she managed to handle the day without me!! haha I don't know how that could be possible because I had a hard time handling my day without her, but we will figure it out!
I am also excited and nervous because I found a stay at home mom to watch Lauren while I sub, and I met her and spent about an hour at her house, and she seems GREAT so I hope it will all work out! I have just heard horror stories about people trying to find/and stick with a baby sitter.. so I hope I can skip the bad part. But she has two little girls, and Lauren loves little kids, she loves to just watch them play, so hopefully it will work out!
Lauren is getting so big so fast! She is probably about 12 pounds now, and is super long! We think she has acid reflux, and we just recently put her on some medicine to see if that will stop the fussyness while she eats! She is a pretty happy baby most of the time, so we will see if this medicine will help so she can be a happy baby all of the time!! I know ALL of the time isn't possible, but I can wish!! It is so fun to see her smile, she is slowly but surely making me a morning person because when she wakes up in the morning she gives me a HUGE smile, and even though I dont' want to be up, it's makes me happy to get up for her!
Erik and I have been living without a dryer for about 3 months, and yes it SUCKED.. But we finally got one, and I am SOO excited :) If any of you have lived w/out a washer or dryer you know what I mean. So I am pretty excited to be able to do my laundry at home:)
So now this post is getting alittle long, and it doesn't even have any pictures.. so I am going to stop! Have a good day :)

I am with you I don't understand how "big pig" is supposed to be a huge deer but whatever. And Congrats on the substite certificate, that will be a lot of fun!

Hey Lace! Sounds like things are going well! That's awesome that you got your substituting certificate. That will be a lot of fun for you if you can handle being away from your baby. Sounds like things are going well. Love ya!

Great news! I would be nervous teaching a class all alone too! When your teaching PE maybe you can play the chicken fat song to them:) (i dunno if you ever heard that song we had it in elementary as a warm up.. it was FUNNY!) anyways i am glad to hear your doing well... and its also good to know that I am not alone with the hunting obessed husband:) haha... take care

Hey! Was McKie naughty for you in pre-school? I hope not! He can tend to try and get away with things when his normal "people" aren't around;)! I could be the only girl who doesn't have a husband obsessed with hunting, but I myself am obsessed with it! HA HA HA! I just like to go and provide yummy meat for my family. It makes me feel like I contribute a bit. I guess that this will be the last year of hunting in Montana- so next year maybe Erik can take me out!
