Happy 30th Birthday DeWayne!!!

Today we celebrated DeWayne's 30th birthday with a surprise brunch! I had been planning for a couple of weeks and somehow managed to keep the secret from him!

Happy 30th Birthday DeWayne!
I love you!

Classroom Blog

Here is my new classroom blog!!! It's still a work in progress! I need to add many more things, but I thought I'd share!

War Eagle!




Saturdays around here are spent going to, watching, and listening to AUBURN football!!!

Sadly I will not be at today's game, we all can't go with a three year old and a one year old (who by the way HATES new people, loud noises, and would probably be scared half to death)! So Daddy is tailgating and at the game today while the three of us are cleaning, making birthday preparations (Daddy's big 3-0 is coming up this week), and creating my classroom blog!!!


Hope you are all having a WONDERFUL game day Saturday!

Bella Grace goes to "big girl school!"

Bella Grace is now going to a 4 day program at my school. She goes for 2 1/2 hours a day! She gets to come with me to school (which is so much fun) and then Daddy and Grayson pick her up! She absolutely loves it and can recall everything she did to tell me when I get home. Every morning we hear "can I stay a REALLY longer time today?" It is too cute! Here are some pictures of her first day!

We love our new backpack and lunch box! :)

Posing in Mommy's classroom before going to our big girl classroom!

Waiting outside for morning play group!
Can you tell she is excited?



You can kind of see brother in the background--the whole family had to go on the first day!


Signing in for the first time!


Ballet

We started back ballet on Saturday! We are now at Rising Starz and we LOVE IT!!! Bella Grace's teacher is absolutely precious and I love that it is on Saturday! :)









My classroom...

I am quite excited for the beginning of the school year! There isn't any project work hanging from the ceiling so it looks bare to me!! :) Hope you enjoy!

Please excuse the fact that some of the signs are not "straight." This is my center choice board. The kids have name tags that hang on the hooks.

Calendar time!



All of my bookshelves are polka-dotted!

I am super proud of my new chair pockets! My sweet mother made them! They are all blue canvas but they have different color polka-dot ribbon for each table!

My Ipod...

So lately we've been spending a lot of time inside--WAY TOO HOT to go out! So we've been jamming out with my Ipod. Someone once asked me how in the world I can go from one extreme to the next and I'm not quite sure. But this is just a small insight to our world--you might not want to know what else I have on there!! :)

Michael Jackson

Hope you are all staying cool and enjoying summer! I've got to go dance and sing with my babies! :)
