June bulletin board, brought to you by Emily and Danyail!

Our Theme: Splish, Splash!

This bulletin board was all about team work! I came up with the general idea, the kids did ALL the art work and Danyail put it all together! And doesn't it look fantastic?! 

We might not have it all together...

But together we have it ALL! 

Thought I might share some pictures of my little family...

My amazing husband, Joshua! He is holding our then newborn daughter, Carly. 

My kids, Hayden and Carly. Hayden is a four year old boy and Carly is a 6 month old girl. They both have tons of personality and smiles that will melt your heart. 

This is definitely what I am dying to come home to at the end of the day. 

I thank God every day that He has blessed me with such amazing people to share this life with! 

(You all excuse the bathing suit picture, I still have a few more lb's to lose! )

Happy Birthday to Me!!

As I mentioned in my first post, today is my 24th birthday, and it was a pretty darn good one too!

 I arrived at work and my directors had hung a happy birthday poster. (which they do for everyone and if I'm being honest here I didn't even take the time to look at it until lunch although I did realize it was there.)

 My kids and co-teacher (Danyail) (I'm a preschool teacher, for those who did not know.) made a card for me. Most of my kids even tried or did write their own names.

 During my lunch I headed to Target to look for gifts for a couple girl friends and a little girl in my class who has invited me to her party. That trip was only somewhat successful. 

This afternoon I was brought a small cake and a card from our office staff! My class, co-teacher, and the office staff sang a round of 'happy birthday' to me. Way to make a girl feel special!

I even had a parent sing 'happy birthday' to me! It feels great to be loved and appreciated by the kids and parents. 

When I got home I was taken out to eat. My parents, husband, kids, and bes friend took me to a local restaurant, tonight 10% of the proceeds went to a local food bank. 

When we got home I got all sorts of presents; ranging from a board game and piggy bank from my son and daughter, to a couples massage from my husband. to beer and peanuts from my dad . 

Shameless birthday vanity shot!

Now that everything has calmed down this girl is super tired and ready for bed!
