This past week in photos!

This past week has been a crazy one!  I have started back to work which is definitely an adjustment for all of us.  The biggest adjustment is being in a new classroom and a new grade level which means there is a lot of work to be done before Meet the Teacher night.  Another adjustment is not being home all day to play with my sweet girl.  I have recruited Shay and Brynlee to help me get my room ready for school.  They have been lots of help especially Brynlee....

Brynlee wanted to help organize too!

Besides working in my classroom ALL WEEKEND LONG we have managed a little play time and some cooking (last week)!  Only one more week and school officially starts which will mean even more fun.  I am excited for what is to come.  

I can't believe that in less than two months this sweet girl will be a year old.  It is crazy how time flies and we are enjoying each and every day that we are blessed with this amazing little girl.

Shay wanted chili rellenos for dinner the other night since we bought some green chilies while we were in New Mexico.  I was a little nervous since I have never made them at home but they turned out yummy.  Shay has already bought more so we can make them again!

The saying goes the bigger the bow the better the mamma... I'm going to assume that goes for flowers as well!

Brynlee loves to close her eyes now when she smiles.... so precious!

Yummy toast along with some giggling is good for the soul!

After Meet the Teacher (which means my classroom has to be complete) and school starts I should be back to not living at the school which means more regular updates of our sweet girl!

Happy 10 Months Sweet Girl!

Brynlee you are 10 months old!  Your personality is really starting to shine through.  You are a combination of a little sass and whole lot of sweetness.  We love everything about you and have been well entertained here lately.  You are too funny!  You have 4 teeth that are all the way in and two breaking in (still!).  You wear mostly 9 months clothes and some 12 months clothes.  We bought your first pair of big girl shoes this weekend while we were in Albuquerque.  You wear a size 3 shoe now.  You are still in size 3 diapers.  

We are having to constantly “baby proof” the house.  Every time that we think that we have it all done she finds something new.  There is nowhere in the house Miss B can’t be in about 2 seconds flat.  You go from one room to the next in no time.  Your favorite room in the house is the bathroom though because you can turn the water on and play with all mommy’s stuff in the bathroom.  You are a superstar crawler and can crawl up on your knees as well as belly crawl.  You are starting to take steps but do not want to give up the walker, the couch, the chair, or anything you can keep your hand on.  Your favorite word is still Da-Da but I know you can say Ma-Ma when you want.  

This past week you went on your first family vacation that wasn’t to Texas or Kansas.  We went all over New Mexico and had so much fun.  It is hard to believe that in only 2 short months you will be ONE YEAR OLD!

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Aunt Heather!  

Wish we were there to help you celebrate your big day!  

Love you lots!

This week...

This week I have been busy with helping with Vacation Bible School.  It has been lots of fun helping out with the rec time/games.  I have come home tired every night.  The downside of this is I haven’t been able to spend very much time with Brynlee or Shay in the evenings.  Normally when I get home she is asleep.  She has enjoyed her time with her daddy!  This week marks the countdown until I have to go back to work.  I am happy to get my room back in order and meet a new class but sad to leave Brynlee.   We have had so much fun this summer and I’ve cherished every moment with her.  Here a few pictures of Brynlee from this week.

Spent the day in Lubbock and played with my GaGa and great grandmother!

Brynlee and Daddy enjoying the Parade of Athletes during the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics!

Daddy was in charge of dinner while I was at VBS and Brynlee loved it!

Hi!

Not a fan of playing in my exersaucer anymore but I love playing and crawling under it!
