Wonderful Teachers....


This year both big kids are lucky enough to have wonderful teachers. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Northwood teachers....it's a great little school. I think we got extra good ones this year! Mrs. Collier was Jake's teacher last year....so we already knew her well and really really liked her. Sophia loves having her!!

Mrs. Howe is an incredible teacher. She works SO hard to get the kids where they need to be. I think she really goes above and beyond!! Jake really likes her and has been working very hard!! She has such a positive attitude and sets the expectations high for her students!!!
 
Having good teachers and ones that the kids really love makes the school year much much easier!!

What We've Been Up To....

A school holiday means a trip to Landa Park with friends. Ducks, nutria, crayfish, fish, a picnic and big playground....what a fun trip!!
 



 
 A hoe down at school....Rodeo attire and country music + friends = a good time!! The big kids showed off the square dances they learned in PE.
 

 
And a LOT of fun projects like this one. I love love love my new embroidery machine. Business is really picking up and I'm able to do SO many fun things that I've been wanting to do!!!
 

Happy Birthday Sophia!!!

7 years ago yesterday we welcomed this little bundle of joy!!!!
 
 
Happy Birthday Sophia!!!
 
 
 Now we have a 7 year old in the house and we celebrated with an Art Party!! 9 little girls over to paint and have fun. I got caught up in the crazy and forgot to take a picture of all the girls together, but here are 6 of them. A friend from church came over to lead the painting and the girls loved it!!



I can't wait to see what year #7 has in store for Sophia!! She is a sweet, happy, thoughtful little girl and I couldn't be more proud!!

So Cute....

Nothing like checking on the kids at night. They look so sweet. It makes up for all the daytime drama!
 
 
 And...yesterday the kids had an art lesson from someone at church. I had bought the lesson in the silent auction before Christmas. They had a great time and were so happy with the way their sunflowers turned out! They are all so different!
