Happy Birthday!

I can't believe my babies are 7!  We had a great birthday party with our family last weekend.  Then we got to enjoy Spring Break and just relax at home.  

Happy New Year!

I am going to try and do better this year.  Now that I have the first semester of school under my belt maybe I can get back to updating the blog more often.  So to play catch up I will just post lots of pictures from our Christmas break!  We had a great Christmas.  Santa came early and brought presents to our house before we traveled to Austin to be with Grammy and Pappy.  The kids were so excited to see what Santa had brought them.  Addison got a doll house for her Barbies and some new clothes.  I think she was most excited about the Queen Elsa dress we got her.  It is from the movie Frozen and she has wanted it since we walked out of the theater!  Glade got a remote control truck and a skateboard.  It took some convincing for Santa to bring the skateboard, "he" was a little worried about safety!
We had a great visit with my family.  My niece McKenna had a shadow the whole time.  Addison just loves her!  Glade was happy to hang out with the boys and shoot BB guns.  They went on several hikes looking for birds.  I love going to their house.  The kids can get out and play and we can relax!

Where have we been....

I had planned to get caught up and started looking at all that was missing since April and decided that was a bit much to do tonight...it is going to take several weeks well okay probably months if I ever get around to it.  I will give you a little recap since April.  I subbed a lot at the kids' school until school was out in June.  We spent two weeks in Colorado in July.  I had surgery in August and got a job teaching second grade!  We started back to school in August and have been going non stop since.  Glade is playing soccer again and loves it.  Addison is in tumbling and really LOVES it!  I am trying to keep my head above water getting used to being a teacher and a mom and just getting used to running a classroom again.  Things have sure changed in the 6 years I stayed home!

 The kids are doing great at the new school.  They are not in the same class this year...we were on the waiting list to get in and I was worried we would be at different schools.  Thankfully they got in the day of meet the teacher.  They both miss their friends from last year but are doing good.  I think they enjoy playing after school while I get my work done.These are some pictures from our First day of school!

Spring Break Fun

We spent a day over spring break in Grapevine.  We visited SeaLife Aquarium and Lego Land.  The kids had lots of fun!  We had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe and ended the day by building an animal at Build a Bear!

Dr Suess Day at school

We celebrated Dr. Suess at school last month.  The kids were supposed to wear letters, so of course I took the opportunity to make a shirt!  I love how they turned out.  For breakfast the cafeteria served green eggs and ham.  Thing 1 and Thing 2 even made an appearance! 

Birthday Parties!

We had Addison and Glade's birthday party at Shenaniganz.  They got to jump and play laser tag and then had time to play lots of games in the arcade.  We invited some of their friends from preschool.  It was so fun to see them all pick up where they left off even though they are at different schools and churches this year.
