For Denise!

I know I have not updated recently...we've been busy busy busy. Long summer days and 2 crazy kiddos=lots of things to do and get into! Other than park picnics, kiddie pool days, and movie nights (we joined Netflix...it's awesome...you should all try it!), I have been putting together my new curriculum for ELA and Social Studies! That's right, I am now hired and a teacher!

I will be teaching 8th grade at Dry Prong Junior High this fall! I am SOOO excited. I got my room key and will get all my paperwork turned in in mid-July. I am just trying to enjoy my last summer as a free woman! I am really excited about being out of the house for the first time since I had Taylor. Part of me is sad, but I know they will be in good hands while i'm gone. And-I only work for 8 months out of the year! I still consider myself a part stay-at-home-mom! LOL Chase is still a boob-a-holic with no plans of stopping soon! LOL We survived me being gone student teaching, so it shouldn't be a problem in August.

We are also in the process of buying our first home!!! I am so excited about it...I just hate all the "hurry up and wait" stuff. I'll post pics once we are moved in!!! It's in Pineville and right beside Taylor's "favorite favorite favorite" park! (Kee's park for you local peeps) I am hoping it all goes through and we are in soon!

I also wanted to include a pic...my mom's birthday was this week and Chase quite enjoyed it! LOL

June=Summer=Heat=Popsicles!!!







This was Chase's first time ever getting to hold it/eat it himself! LOL Usually, i'll get one and share it with him. They are the perfect size! They are Blue Bell 24 count rainbow pops, and are 1/2 the size of a normal popsicle. And 35 calories each! Woohoo! (just ignore all the sugar and artificial colors...I consider them a "rare treat" and summer lasts only, what?, 10 months in these parts??? LOL
