April Showers and May Days ...

Hudson cannot WAIT to get out of his

car seat when he sees that the trash can

is still out!  Janitor Hudson!!!!!!!

Princess Pie wore this bunny shirt

that Sweet Lindsay, one of my

very first blogger friends,

made for her and sent her

when she was about TWO!!!

Still wearing it:)

Seriously I laugh so hard when

Hudson is driving this thing!
I did this with Walker & Hadlee

when they were learning to drive, too.

It's just so funny!!! 

Hudson is never looking where

he is going and he never lets up

on the gas!!!  Let's just hope

this isn't the case when he is 16;)

The day after the Lady Bears won the

National Championship, my mother

called me to meet her on campus so

she could buy everyone shirts!

I just wanted a simple one...

and she got Sweet Thing one, too! 

Of course Daddy & Bubba were

NONE too happy over these!!!

I love that my little girl

secretly loves Baylor! 

I'm not into Pininterest...can't even say

the word and certainly can't take on

anything else in my life right now,

BUT I love it when my teacher friends

do share a find here or there

LIKE THIS...

I want to paint these words all over my house!!!

Ever so often my favorite Aussie Down Under

and ALL over will send me a peak at

my far away LOVES.....

like this one of Chloe because she

is finally big enough to wear the

little James Avery cross necklace I

gave her at her baptism. 

This does my heart good!

I love this little girl from afar...........

And a picture with Baby Ben in

a little suit I sent him...

just more icing on the cake!!!

I love them like my very own.

You know it's warming up when my kids

start asking for "water trampoline"!!!

(AND when the boys' shirts start coming off!!!)

 Beautiful May Days...

 Sister doing a science project....

She loves school and all that she is learning!!!

 Talk about an experiment.......

THIS is what you get to do when

Aunt Jean is back in town!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 FULLY supervised and FULL PROOF FUN!!!

 Could there be an aunt that is more fun?!?

I.think.NOT!

 We LOVE you, Aunt Neeny!!!!!!!

 And that you are the first person

who ever taught us about catching

lightning bugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Hudson loves his Bubba. 

That is just a fact...

and how sweet is it that I catch him

with Walker's baseball stick figure

picture all the time?!?!?

 Almost always giving it a kiss, too!!!!!

 My two favorite T's hanging

out on the back patio one Friday evening...

 The kids playing hangman with Trav:)

 Walker was OBSESSED with the

Wiggles when he was two. 

Huds really likes them, too...not

quite as much...but he does

love wearing Bubba's old pj's!!!!!!

 Bed Time / Bath Time =

 Crazy Time!!!

 Okay...check this out!

These are Hadlee & Hudson's feet. 

Hadlee is five (ALMOST six)

and Hudson is two!!!!!!!!!!

He is taller at two than she was at three!

My English II classes read Lord of the Flies

together.  Since it's about a group of kids

crashing on a deserted island, I decided

to make my classroom into a

"deserted island" and they had to

figure out how to survive!





They had no idea about this until

the day they walked into the classroom

to find it like this.............

 Most of the students loved this

and got right to work...

 Others didn't really want to survive!  ha;)

 I had three REALLY great classes this year

and an AMAZING co-teach.  I am going to

miss them ALL so much!!!  :(

 Jason & Jordan with the "conch"...

in the book the boys had to be holding the

conch in order to speak to the group. 

We tried that in my class!  ha!;)

I had very much to be thankful

for during these fabulous May Days...

"You crown the year with Your goodness;

Your ways overflow with plenty."

Psalm 65:11
