College Here I Come!.......Again

School Days, School Days.........

It's Offical~ I will be attending the College of Southern Nevada Fall 2010! I will be starting an Associate of Arts Program with a major in Secondary Education. We have yet to hear if I've been granted a Pell Grant, the college will start reviewing applications for Fall in the middle of April. So please add us to your prayers; but grant or not school will start for me this fall. I'm super excited and nervous! Gracie wlll also be starting a new school: Beckley Elementry in their Pre-K Speech Preschool, she'll be riding the bus and be gone for 2 1/2 hrs. This will give me time to do school online with only Ehlana as company. Rory will be going into first grade and hopefully will be granted a zone variance so she can continue going to Diaz where she'll be attending gender seperated classes. So Fall 2010 is the start of a new era here in the Spencer Lodge~ so pull out your number 2 pencils-We're going back to School!!!!!!

FABLEHAVEN BOOK SIGNING~MEETING BRANDON MULL

Fablehaven: Keys to the Demon Prison

Pingo
What happens when your imaginary friend becomes your imaginary enemy? New York Times bestselling author Brandon Mull and No.1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Brandon Dorman team up in this new children’s picture book that explores the meaning of friendship and imagination.

We were so excited to see Brandon Mull; author of the Fablehaven series, Pingo and The Candy Shop War. He came to the Deseret Book here in Las Vegas! We took the whole family and waited in line for about 45min. by our good friends and had a blast eating bread made by the "Brownies" and drinking "Magic Milk" so we could see the fairies when we went into meet Mr. Mull. He signed all four of our Fablehaven books and we purchased a copy of Pingo and he signed that as well, we also pre-ordered a copy of the final Fablehaven book (it comes to stores on March 23rd) which will arrive signed! We've read all his books as a family so it was a treat to go see him. The children behaved so well and were truly angels! The woman standing right behind us even bought the girls more milk and bread because they were behaving so well. She gave us a huge compliment, she said that she could tell we were good parents because our kids were so well behaved! This outing was my birthday celebration, even though my b-day's not until the 15th, we ended the night by stopping at Pizza hut and enjoyed eating salad and pizza with the kids and my sweet hubby. It was so fun and we can't wait until Book 5 arrives!
