BUSY!! BUSY!! BUSY!!

 Well,  I have been so Super busy with school and a toddler that I don't ever have time to blog!  Well, and to be honest I am sort of OBSESSED with Pinterest!!!  School is crazy busy this year, and Jasper is a busy little boy!  
I have a good little class of 20 1st graders!  I Love being a teacher, but it is hard work!!!  I like the creative side of teaching (finding new ideas, decorating my classroom, projects, etc.)  Well, another thing I love about my job is the vacations, Fall Break in one week!  Yay!
Enough about school!!  Jasper is the best; his personality is really developing!  He is so full of energy!!  He is so sweet blowing kisses and starting to talk!!  His Mommy and Daddy and everyone around him LOVE him so much!!  He is the greatest blessing!!  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE being a Mommy!
Well I haven't been taking many pictures lately,  but I have a few so I am going to include them!


PEACE & <3

Last Week of Summer.....

My Hippie Chick I painted to go with the peace signs I got at the teacher store!!

My classroom (almost ready)

Well, the last week of summer was spent mostly at school getting my classroom ready!!  Jasper and my mom went with me!  My classroom is almost ready for school to start!  Jasper also had to go get his 15 month shots on Friday; Poppa and Gigi went too!  We were going to get a Smurf at Build-A-Bear, but they were out of them(UHH!!) so we had to settle for a little Smurf!!  I am so going to miss spending all day everyday with my sweet boy; I am going to miss him, and I think I will be shedding a few tears next week!!  I know that I am very blessed to be able to leave him with my  Mom though!!

Summer Vacation 2011: Destin, Florida

Jasper and Mommy

Daddy writing Jasper's name in the sand, but that did not help Jasper like the sand!!!

Jasper chillin'

Loves, loves, loves his Daddy!!!

I just love the houses in Florida!!!

Really love this one!!

I want a tin roof just like this!!!!  Love it!!

I told you he LOVES his Daddy!!  Sweet!!

LOOK at all those teeth!!!

Jasper and Mommy!!

The blanket is the only way I finally got a picture of Jasper by himself on the beach!!
I LOVE this outfit! I got it in a store in Seaside, so cute!!!

We ate at McGuire's; they have $1 everywhere!!!  Jasper LOVED the live Irish musician, and the boxtys!!!

Jasper loved the water and waves, but NOT the sand!!

Daddy's 35th Birthday

I Love this pic!!

LOVE these guys!!!

SWEET!!!

Happy Family!!

He really did not like the sand!!!  I told Jason we needed to get him a sand box
 so he can grow to LOVE it because I do!!!!!

Jason's Aunt Jane has a condo in Sandestin, and Jason and I have been together for 8 years and I had never been!!  At the beginning of the summer Jason's family went but we couldn't go.  So all summer I have been hinting around about going to Florida!!!  Well, on Thursday July 7th, after a day in Memphis at the dr., shopping, and sushi, I suggested we go to Florida once again.  Jason took me up on the idea this time; we called Aunt Jane and had plans to leave that Sunday after dinner at Paula Dean's in Tunica for my dad's fiftieth birthday!!  We traveled through the night, and Jasper did very well; we only stopped once, and we arrived at about 3:30 a.m.  We had tons of fun, and a little bad luck too!  We shopped, we ate lots of seafood, we went to the beach, we relaxed, we went to the pool, we just spent time as a family!!!!!  Unfortunately, our truck's fuel pump decided to go out while we were there, which meant we had to rent a car, have our truck towed, fuel pump replaced, and spend lots more $$$$ than planned;  but we were all safe and together so it was okay!!!  Jasper wasn't too crazy over the sand; he wouldn't even put his feet down.  He did like the water and waves though!!!  It was a great family vacation!!!  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my guys!!!!!

How I LOVE SuMmEr!!!

Jasper in his swimming pool on our awesome new patio!!!  Thanks to Daddy!!

He copies everything he sees!!!

First time to eat an ice cream cone all by himself!!!

LOVE this boy to PLUTO and back!!!!  Just staying home and doing nothing with him is the best time of my LIFE!!

I have so enjoyed summer break so far; one of the perks of being a teacher!!  Staying home with Jasper is amazing!!!!  He is growing and changing so fast I don't want to miss a moment!!  Which brings me the reason for this blog, I want to highlight and reflect on a few of the many awesome moments in my life!!!!
