So glad it's the weekend!!!

Here are a few pictures of Kaden in the bluebonnets Tuesday! He loved the bluebonnets and took great pictures. I haven't edited any of them. . .


It seems the closer I get to the school year being over, the slower the days start going at work, and the worse behavior becomes at school. Imagine that? The kids are like, ok lady, we know all your tricks, and we know you aren't really going to do anything to us if we misbehave, so we'll just be CRAZY the last 6 weeks. Plus, I have to admit, I get VERY relaxed on discipline toward the end of the year. The kids are tired just like us!!! :)
I am SO ready for summer vacation! It can't come soon enough in my opinion! Six more weeks!!!

I am planning to relax this weekend. YAH Right! I have a 14 month old! But, I wouldn't trade it for anything! We will be going to Hayden's party tomorrow! We are EXCITED!!!

Kaden Pictures....FINALLY!!!

It's Friday after the first round of TAKS test! Thank Goodness I have survived this week at school! Only 47 more days to go until summer (counting weekends,too!) YAY!!


After FOREVER of not being able to post any pictures because I have not been able to edit them, and these STILL are NOT edited, so forgive them, but here's Kaden! (As requested, Amy!!!)

Kaden's vocabulary has increased greatly just this week. He now jabbers ALL the time, and carries on conversations with himself. He SO LOOKS like he knows EXACTLY what he is talking about, but I have not a clue what he is saying, but I act like I do! He says 'NO' very well now and uses it when he doesn't want something or to do something. He can say 'milk', noodle, come on, duck, spot, and dog. Spot is our donkey.

Kaden had the BEST time hunting Easter eggs, as you can see....

We took Kaden a couple weekends ago to the sell barn on a Saturday morning. We met my best friend, Hilary and her husband, Ed there. We ate breakfast and then watched some of the livestock sell. Kaden L-O-V-E-D it!!! He walked around the cafe and shook hands with people eating breakfast (all his own idea). He is going to be a politician maybe? He loved the baby goats and would scream out in excitement when he saw them. They were pretty cute! After leaving the sell, we went to the local feed store and bought Kaden his first cowboy hat. He puts it on and yells, "YeeHAW!" He is TOO funny! (And, I think he may know it!)

Missing in Action!

I know, I know! I have been M-I-A from this blog! And, I feel bad, but my life has been B-U-S-Y! Oh, wait, my kid is B-U-S-Y!!! Which translates to, I am chasing him every free moment, not blogging!
Plus, I have to administer 5th grade TAKS test tomorrow and the next day, then in two weeks my 3rd and 4th graders take their TAKS tests. So, this is a BUSY time of the year for a Title 1 Math teacher for three grade levels! Whew! I am tired at the end of EVERYDAY!
Kaden had a BIG Easter weekend. On Saturday we had the Fisher family Easter all day. Then on Sunday Kaden & I went to church, then to the Mabe family Easter. He hunted eggs a little, but mainly just loved the freedom to run around!!! Kaden is so funny these days. His new words for the week are, "noodle" It is SO cute when he says this! He also says "moo, moo, moo, moo, moo!" everytime he sees a cow real or a picture or drawing of one. He cracks me up at church, he has learned the breaking of the bread at church means he is going to get a bite. Now when the preacher holds up the bread to break it he (Kaden) YELLS out, "Bite!" Luckily, Kaden is about the only baby in our church right now, so everyone thinks he is just PRECIOUS! (Which he is!) :)
I am So ready for summer. My sweet husband tractoe tilled me up a garden over two weeks ago, but I have not had a single opportunity to work in it to get it started... not sure when I can do this! I did get to plant some flowers in my flowerbed last night that I bought from the FFA kids.
I am on the job hunt again! It seems to be my calling in life....
But, this year I have a much different outlook on it and better attitude. I have handed this burden over to God, and I refuse to let myself worry with this. My God has it all under control. I believe that.
Only 8 more weeks until summer vacation, yes, I am counting down!!! I can't wait to be home with Kaden all summer! (Except I have volunteered to teach Summer school in june, what was I thinking???)
I promise to put pictures up soon of my little Kaden. We let him have his first 'taste' of chocolate on Easter Sunday. I bought him a hallow milk chocolate bunny rabbit. He got to eat an ear. He liked it! We had fun watching him! He's officially had chocolate now, with our permission. This does not mean (my family) that you may feed him what ever now, this just means we let him try it! :)
