Daddy's bDAY, Homecoming & October

One of Walker's teachers offered an

extra credit assignment. 

At first, Walker thought it wasn't necessary

to do "extra credit"!  Mama didn't

agree...hee hee!  Once it was all

said and done, he loved doing the project.

It was to tell how you got your name...

How fitting that I'm posting this on election

day;)  We really did get "Walker" from

the "W"!!!  And NOT from Walker, Texas Ranger!

I think very highly of George W. Bush

and so getting Walker from his name made

it that much more cool!!!

When Troy and I found out we were having a boy,

we both wanted to use names of the men that

we most admire.  That was easy...his grandpa

and my dad.  We got creative and I love that

Walker is named after both of these men!  :)

My Handsome Walker Dalton Pierce!

Hope he learned his lesson about

being offered "extra credit"!!!  ;)

Mrs. Gingerich's mother passed away

so Hadlee took some pretty flowers

from the class on the day Mary came back.

Mrs. Gingerich is truly about as

sweet and wonderful as they come. 

 

I found out a couple of days before school

started that I was going to have an intern

from Baylor (a student teacher). 

Since I'm a part-time teacher, I've never

had an intern but this year I get to share

one with a colleague of mine.

I never dreamed what a blessing my

intern would be!!!  Lauren is

so precious to me...she is beautiful

and kind and smart and wonderful!!!

I already love her SO much...

and so do my students!

Ms. O'Farrell with one of our Senior
football players before the
Homecoming Pep Rally...

Our SENIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the most awesome students and I love my job

teaching them.  It truly keeps me in check

and gives me great perspective seeing the

world through these young people's eyes.

But I do have a favorite this year...

 

 

October 19th was T-Daddy Love's 44th Birthday!!!

The kids and I couldn't wait for

him to get home that day so we

could love on him and spoil him!!!

Troy recently got a nice, new office

at work and he had mentioned that he

needed new pictures for it.  We had

several made for him and framed them.

He loved them all!  :)

One.LOVED.Daddy

Singing Happy Birthday to our Daddy LOVE!!!

These four are MY life...

October 19th was also

Midway's Homecoming...

Troy had a very special date

on his birthday with this

sweet little girl...

I'm thinking that was the best

part of his birthday:)

Luckily I had two cute dates:)

This silly date went to a party

and then to the game with his buddies!

OOOPS!  Sweet girl found

another special date at the game!!!

Happy 44th Birthday to the hottest,

BEST husband/daddy in the world!!!

We Love You...

Travis and his dad came over to

watch the Cowboys with us one

Sunday after church.  I cracked up

because my two favorite T's

were dressed just alike!!!  ;)

SUPERHERO day at MHS!!!
Sweet Kolby, a dear new friend to me,

called the night before wanting to

wear a Superman shirt! 

This made my heart happy:)

Stilllllll so much support...

Picking up Logan from school

one afternoon.  What high school

student wouldn't want their 10 year old

cousin waiting in the parking lot

on top of the car?!??!???!?! ;)

Teaching a 12th grade English class

has proven to be quite the experience!

I never thought I'd like teaching seniors,

but I love it!  Seniors will tell you

anything and everything!!!

We read The Importance of Being Earnest

and the kids had a ball acting it out!

We laughed so much reading this play!

I never know what I'll find in the

photos on my phone.  Take for instance

this picture that Hadlee took of herself

one night after bath because she

liked the way her hair looked!

Love this little girl:)

My two sweet H's at church

after Sunday School one morning:)

My heart is so FULL that they are

loving church!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe the best gift I can give

my kids is a love for the Lord

and all that is Jesus...like church.

Sweet Lauren and I on college day...

 

What is it about October and me getting

staph infections? :(  Another one got me,

but thankfully I got on antibiotics

and to my doctor quickly.  These infections

just leave me feeling so bad. 

I sent this to Troy because I hate

when he can't be with me to hold

my hand during these little "surgeries"!

I didn't want anyone to know I had

staph again so he had to keep the storm! ;)

I'm very thankful for our doctor

and his nurses.  They are so kind to us

and truly care about my family. 

 

Hank & Ella's last day at Mrs. Janice's :(

BOO HOO :( to not geting to see

these precious babies everyday.  

Captain America is going to miss them!!!

This kid is SO crazy...Mrs. Janice

might be wishing it was him leaving!  HA!

No, I know that's not the case!!!

 

Just passing by the STAR Board at

South Bosque and happen upon

one of Walker's tests!  YAY!!!

 

Last Saturday we surprised Hunter B

at his new job!  The kids had been begging

to go there to see their Hunter and it was

such a beautiful day for it!

Silly, Sweet H's...........

Enjoying a beautiful day

while daddy was at the deer lease!

Our happy go lucky Hunter...

we couldn't love him more:)

It was also Baylor Homecoming day

and of course the Aggies were playing, too!!!

 

CRaZy SoCK DaY at South Bosque!!!

My SUPER kids!!!!!!!

 Hadlee's first Thanksgiving project for school...

My how time flies when you are

having FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Lean on, trust in, and be confident

in the Lord with all your heart and

mind and do not rely on your own

insight or understanding.  In

all your ways know, recognize,

and acknowledge Him,

and He will direct and make straight

and plan your paths."

Proverbs 3:5-6
