May Gratitude...

My 6th Grader at the end of the year...

Seriously some days after school,

he is just STARVING.  

They are all a mess.

And all starving.  Always.  

This student is the best.

He's one of those that will always

hold a special place in my heart.

Willie(:

The same with these two

precious girls...Madison and Karla.  

I have the best job:)

Nothing like an afternoon drive

in the Batmobile with Hank.  

I love my boy's Instagram.

It's still so sweet and innocent.

I mean, seriously.  LOL!

This kid never stops practicing. 

Sister tries;)

Huds LOVES corn on the cob!!!

3 Spoons after school for 

the besties ~ Jersi & Hadlee :)

Which makes for the perfect

date for ME:)

Oh my.  I love him.  

They are so fun!  

The sun is out which means

get the water hose out, too!  :)

Ever so often the cool neighborhood

kids show up and grace us with 

their presence ;)

But these days, it's never for too long;)

 "Reading Squad"!!!  I love it.  

Our days at the ball park...

I love watching my boy!

And I love these girls!

This was an AWESOME e-mail to get at school!

Almost ready for 3rd grade 

and hoping to be in the same class again!

DR. Pierce

Chasing my boy home on

 his bike late at night!  

She still can't be BEAT!!!

This was Walker's FAVORITE book

when he was young.  It made

my day when Hudson asked for me to read it.

And even more so when Walker 

couldn't resist looking at it again!!!

One of his last days at

River Valley as a sixth grader.

I still can't believe this boy. 

I am so proud of him.  

Looking outside to see this....

Well, 

...it's just priceless!!!

Spring Football Game

Hadlee loves her sweet "friends"

like Amelia and Jordan!

I love driving my boy around.  

AND my girl:)

I scream!  I scream!

Hadlee's year book came out 

and we were dying that Haley,

Hudson, and I made our way into it!!!

Ball Park Babes

Three peas in a pod who I know

will be precious friends FOREVER!

D-Money at bat with Walker at catch!

Still can't believe my boy

was the catcher for a season!!!

These three:)

This had to be my favorite meme

of the year!  How many times

do we watch this happen!?!???!!!

This kid is awesome at Uno, too!

Shopping for Mrs. Janice's present...

Face Timing with Hadlee and her

friend Hannah while I was out and about...

A sweet girl put a group together

to meet at Rice Field and play soccer.

Walker had such a great time:)

This little girl is my sweet angel...

She loves nothing more than to 

cuddle up next to her mommy or daddy:)

And when this guy sees his sister

doing that to his mama, he's

all about moving in and getting his mama back!  ;)

Baseball Rained Out:(

Boo Hoo!

I couldn't believe when I looked

on to Home Access and saw that

HUDSON PIERCE 

was now on there:(  

Meeting Sweet Baby Ellis!!!!!!!!!!

L-O-V-E

Hudson could have made the 

sweetest big brother....

So happy to be holding this

precious little baby love...

Hadlee & Bax!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH...

Hudson not wanting to let him go!

Hadlee loves babies:)

Baby Ellis is just perfect....

Lessons with DJ...

this kid never stops!

Sick in May:(

Poor guy felt awful...

Such a big boy though!

Shopping at Walgreens for my team

so we could have matching shirts!!!

Leave it to me to find

a cute top there, too;)

Miss Mac's insta is my fave!!!

Hadlee most always makes it on there;)

Celebrating Lily's Birthday!!!!!!!!!!

I loved these frames that I found

for some teacher gifts.
My children's teachers are definitely

the "Lord's doing"!

I like to try and do a sentimental gift

with a gift card to our favorite teachers/people.

We are so blessed...it just baffles my mind.  

My student Kenny, who didn't start

off liking me and we struggled to get

along at first, but then he became my

favorite ~ he ended up sticking up 

for me the rest of the year ~ gave me

this at the end of the year.

It meant so very much.  

This quote is so poignant and exactly

how I know many of my children's

teachers have made my own kids feel.

There is no greater gift.  

Dropping off Walker, Jonathan and Jonah

for one of the last times at RVI:(

Sweet Sister on one of her last days

in 3rd grade with Ms. Penson:(
