Christmas Photos

My sister is a photographer so I'm always dragging Brady into taking pictures all the time because she does such cute stuff (thanks for being such a good sport, sweetie) Anyway, I had her take some pics so that I could put together a Christmas card...and they turned out really cute so I wanted to share them on here. If you ever need a photographer for any occasion, call my sister, because as you can see SHE IS AWESOME!
Thanks, Al. (I can't wait to have kids...they're going to be the most photographed children on the planet :)

Turkey and Football

We went to Colorado again this year for Thanksgiving. It was really fun! After our turkey day feast we got to go to a Denver Broncos football game. Neither of us have been to an NFL game before so we were pretty excited. The weather couldn't have been better! We bought seats in the section where you can go inside in case it was freezing, but the weather was mild and totally enjoyable. It was a nice little getaway, and it's always fun to spend time with the nephews. Now we're lookin forward to christmas break :)



We also visited Buffalo Bill's grave site...

New Moon Madness

Last night my friends, my mom, my aunt and my sister and I all waited outside in the freezing cold for three hours to see New Moon at midnight...and it was totally worth it! Such a good show! Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are gorgeous! Between the two of them it was seriously just a two hour drool fest. :) So dang fun. Thanks girls, for being as much of a Twilight fanatic as I am! Let's go again soon! ;)

First Field Trip

I need to post more often...my blog is getting boring. Since my life revolves around teaching right now, I thought I'd post a couple cute pics from my first field trip with my second graders. We didn't go far...we went to Midway to visit the State Park and learn about seeds and plants. I think the kids had a lot of fun and I did too because all I had to worry about was crowd control...the park workers got to do the teaching that day! Anyway here's just a couple pictures from the outing.

Home Sweet Home

Well, we've been in our new home for about seven weeks now and I'm finally getting around to posting some pictures on here! Our house is 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths; and approximately 2400 square feet. We have a 3-car garage which Brady loves! I also posted a homemade virtual tour of the inside because I thought that would be more interesting than a ton of pictures. It's kind of dorky of me, but oh well! :) Hopefully it gives you a good idea of what our new house is like...we are really enjoying it, and I feel grateful to have found such a nice place to live and to have a talented, hard-working husband that did some really nice work on it. Thanks, sweetie!

This is it!

Here's some pictures of our deck and backyard.




And here's my virtual tour! I probably should have done it slower, but my batteries were about to die. Sorry if you're feeling dizzy after watching it... :)

Back in Business!

Wow, it's been a long time since my last post. The past month has been an extremely busy one at the Probst household. We moved into our cute new house a few weeks ago. We're pretty much settled now, and we are enjoying being homeowners! I haven't had my home computer set up until today, so that's why I haven't been able to blog for a while! But, I am happy to be back in bloggin business! I have some pictures of my classroom to share. The first few weeks of school has gone pretty well. I love what I do, and I am learning so much everyday. My kids are so awesome, and they definitely keep me on my toes! Teaching has kept me extremely busy this past month, but hopefully once a routine sets in over the next little while, things will calm down a bit and get easier. Although sometimes I feel like I'm not cut out for teaching, I am grateful to be a part of one of the best professions there is! I am really lucky to be able to work with such great kids everyday, and I hope I can continue to grow professionally and do my best. Anyway, here's some pics of my home away from home! :) And I will post some pics of my real home very soon...

We Got More Bounce in California...

Here's a slide show of some more of our pictures from California. It was pretty much the funnest birthday I've ever had. We spent it at Disneyland (where I got in free, I might add.) I got this big button to wear that had my name on it, and so whenever a Disneyland employee saw me they'd say, "Happy Birthday, Rachel!" It made me feel extra special. Anyway, we also went to see the Hollywood Walk of Fame, played at Universal Studios, and relaxed at Venice Beach in Santa Monica. It was just a great little get-away; and exactly what I needed right before the craziness of my first year of teaching begins. Thanks, Alie, for coming with me!
