Arizona State Flag Cake

 

This was my Arizona State Flag cake... I made this at Disneyland when we went for Elizabeth's Birthday!

Ebeth'isms from 11/19/08

Ebeth'isms from last night that tickled me:

"I don't like them with skin on." (Marshmallow that caught on fire and was charred and crispy on the outside)

"Groovy!"

(When I said "I'm sorry it hurts, but I hate to give up when there's just this one last stubborn tangle in your hair...") "Pleee-eeeze, just give up!"

"How come she always has so much paperwork?" (Maggie's homework)

I need Disney

Can one be homesick for a place that is NOT home? You bet! I spent time this weekend creating my Disney scrapbook - boy am I homesick for Disneyland! :) Want to see some pics? Check out:

Playing in the Rain

Yesterday there was a cloud burst and it started pouring rain while Elizabeth and I were playing outside. We ran onto the patio and watched it pour down in buckets! Then we looked at each other, held hands and ran out into the rain!!! :) We quickly dashed back under the patio, drenched and laughing. We proceeded to run back and forth into the rain and running through the grass laughing and getting wetter and wetter. What a way to spend the afternoon!

My SMCC for Fall 2008

Hello SMCCers!

Just wanted to blog a bit about an initiative that we have at SMCC that was started on year ago. It is called "My SMCC." I know you are asking yourself: What is it? How does it work?

My SMCC is a card (or other device) used by faculty to collect up-to-date contact information for students.

It works because faculty then have the ability to contact students who stop showing up to class, miss turning in a paper, etc.

The impact so far as been great! More students are successfully completing their courses.

So students - get your instructors your contact information!

Faculty please collect this information and use it to help your students!

Together we all achieve more!!!
