Birthday Girl

Happy Birthday to my precious girl!

You've been a blessing to us for the past 10 years.

You're growing up to be a beautiful young lady,

and we are so proud of you!

I'm a week late in this post, but when you have an August birthday and your mom is a teacher, you get used to getting the shaft.

I am loving these ideas for fall and Halloween from Pinterest.

Classroom Pics

I'm so excited about my new rain gutter bookshelves! They were really easy to put up, even on a cinder block wall. I hung them by myself in about an hour. I bought two 10 foot pieces of gutter which cost around $12. Then Cody helped me cut the pieces into four 5-foot pieces. I used 2 end caps and 3 brackets for each section. I don't remember how much the end caps and brackets cost, but I think they were more than the actual gutter.

You can go here to see the tutorial. I'm trying to figure out where I could put some in my house!

Back to School...Take Two

First Day of School (only 1 day late)

We've all had successful first 2 days of school. So glad that it's only a 4 day week; I'm tired already.

Back to School

More of Hawaii

Hawaii Part 2

Here's two more pictures from our trip. I've tried to upload more, but our internet is on the blink, and I haven't had time to call to get it fixed.

Aloha - part 1

Two words for the helicopter ride--never again!

Cheer Camp

I am Enjoying Summer!

Check out the I am blog. My picture was posted! I was busy at cheer camp so I didn't blog the day it was posted. My internet and I are having a war, so as soon as I win, I will post cheer camp pics!
