BIIIG massive update with pics and vids :) November 11, 2010

OK, so I’d been meaning to post a buncha stuff that I hadn’t gotten around to, so now I’m gunna touch a bunch of different subjects and events and such.

 

First off, I dont think I posted up a pic of all the “Get Well Soon” cards my students made me while I was in the hospital and I intended to, so better late than never-  here they are:

And I dont think I posted any of the adorable pics of my K-1 class either

And did I mention I got a kick ass new still camera? It’s a DSLR EOS Rebel XT… not the latest and greatest, but still a rad camera for a beginner like me!

Now on to my ‘island hopping’ trip with my mom. Here are some pics:

OK, now for the sugar gliders.

Basically, I’ve got 3 baby sugar gliders now- they are awesome. There are 2 lil (unnamed) babies who are about 4-5 weeks and one slightly older boy (8-9 weeks) named Lucky. I got them from a very awful place where they mass-breed gliders in dirty lil boxes amongst pigs, chickens, and an assortment of exotic or illegal animals…. it was jacked. Anyway, so I intended to get 2 but there was a third one that would have been left alone in that awful place so I had to take him home too (hence his name, Lucky). Here are some pics from the first couple days:

Lucky is obviously the bigger one….. they’ve all grown so much already tho, it’s crazy!

here are a few from just the other day….. the get messy eating baby formula :p

I took some really cute footage of them the other day but I gotta cut it down still- soon!

Speaking of videos, here’s a new one I made about a local skate contest my friends put on:

PROFANITY WARNING! The song says bad stuff right around the middle.

Also, 11 of us had a lil Birthday party for Adam last weekend. We hired a private van to take him out to dinner and then out to bars and such to drink/dance. It was fun from what I remember, but luckily the camera left after dinner…. right before things got too outa hand to want pics on Facebook. Here are a few we got before things got sloppy:

I also used Animoto (thanks mark and linda!) to make a lil slideshow vid: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150307721780366

THE END

And last but not least, I made halloween masks with my Art class- they dont celebrate halloween out here so I thought it’d be fun for the kids to get a chance to ‘trick-or-treat’. So after they were done making their masks, I set up a lil playhouse and they all got a chance to knock on my door and I gave them candy. I gave Adam candy too so when they were done the ran down to the office, went to Adams desk, and trick or treated there also

It was good fun and a took a couple pics- can u see me in the house in this one?

*sigh* ok, that’s alot of stuff. As for the future, aunt Bonnie comes out in a couple weeks to stay with us! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I can’t wait

And she’s been so kind as to offer to bring some of the fun toys and such from the states that I’ve wanted to order. So cool!

Anyway, there will be lots of fun pics and updates to share from the adventures we have out here together I’m sure!

 

Love you guys,
