Hannah's Birthday! THE BIG 10!

Hannah is 10 years old today!!!! We had her a Hollywood themed birthday last night at moms and it went GREAT! We ended up moving it to moms early because of all the storms. The storms did not stop the party! We had so many kids show up about (15) and with adults....the house was packed out! Her cake was so awesome (I made it) I still cant believe that I made that cake! Hannah was so shocked!!! It turned out great! Her decorations turned out great too! She also got tons of money! She ended up with $110 dollars, and that is without mine and Jeremy's cash we plan to give her. Then after the storms we headed back to our house where all the kids had a sleepover, HOLLYWOOD style! They had their popcorn, candy, martini glasses, and movies. They had so much fun! I think they stayed up all night! I love planning birthday parties! Mom and I discussed people in general yesterday and we came up with the type of person I am...I am a giver, not a taker! I work hard to make sure people get what they want and that they are happy. I would rather give than to receive. I love seeing peoples faces when they get something they wanted or something unexpected! People's happiness is the best gift for me! Just like Hannah's homecoming! I worked my BUTT off so that she could get something for HER... I loved hearing her name called out as Queen, and seeing her smile. It made all that hard work worth while. I know people said that I got something out of Hannah being Queen or that I did it for myself...but I didn't get to wear the crown so I don't see how that is true LOL..but just making a point..I am a giver..I like to see people happy... :) :) :)

EASTER 2010

Easter went great! We had a blast! We started out by going to my Aunt Angela's house with my mom's family. Brookelyn-Grace had a blast! She got her very cute Easter basket from the Easter Bunny & then of course MeMe, Pop & Granny all got her one too! She got some really cute things! Granny got her some of the cutest outfits ever! Her Easter dress was beautiful!!! She looked just like a little PRINCESS, but that's nothing new! ;) She is such a spoiled little girl! Then Jeremy & I picked up Hannah & Parker and we headed over to dads (Pop) house. Dad got all the kids an Easter basket too. I thought that was very sweet of him!!! By the end of the day Jeremy and I were worn out!!!

JEREMY & PARKER'S B'DAY

I have been meaning to blog, but I seriously never have time! My weeks are already full I even know! I am so ready for things to slow down! We always have something going on, and now I've signed up for softball, which is me adding more! I guess I am just that person. I complain because I am always so busy, but I have no clue what I would do if I actually had time to just do nothing..I would probally be lost Ha Ha!

Well Jeremy and Parker's birthday parties went great! We had Jeremy's birthday on Thursday March 25th @ Brangus. It was kinda of a suprise. Crystal let the cat out of the bag, but I still had a couple more suprises up my sleeve....He got to see his dad, and we had the kids there ;) I also put the cutest picture in the paper of him for his birthday. He was shocked! ;) All in all Jeremy had a great birthday!!! He had great friends and family there and I also got him a very delicouse cookie cake from Brookewood Village Mall. They have the best! He also got tons of gifts :) It was very sweet because on the way home he kind of got chocked up telling me that he really appreciated what I had done for him & that he had never had anyone do the things that I did for his birthday :)

Saturday was Parker's birthday. We had his birthday at Decade Skates, and all the kids loved it! Parker was so funny! I think he was on the floor more then he was skating. He was constantly falling. He had a blast though and so did all the other kids! He left his birthday with $80 bucks plus four gifts. Then we of course took him to Wal-Mart so he could spend his mulah! He had a blast!!! ;)

BUSY

So here is whats been going on....

Spring Break Jeremy and I went to Tunica for some us time and to just get away! We had a blast!!!!! After we got back I spent the rest of my week just hanging out with Brookelyn-Grace. I felt like we needed just a little more mommy and baby time. You can never have enough! I missed her something awful when we were away. Of course we only stayed on night, but it almost killed me!!!
Jeremy and I have been staying busy! Between my student teaching, teaching in the classroom, tyring to deal with Athens stuff, Jeremy working, Jeremy's overtime, and just the everyday things that life throws you.....well there is no time...you get the point!

We did go out one night for Tamra's house warming party, which turned out to be a blast! We love us some TAM! I'll post some pics :)

I've also been planning Jeremy and Parker's birthday parties, which is a lot too do! Can't really say much about either one of their birthday surprises until the weekends over...would not want anyone to tell them ;) So I will make sure to blog over the weekend.

I have been so stressed out over what to get Jeremy for his birthday. Of course he tells me to not get him nothing, but who does that really? He is so good to me and Brookelyn-Grace that it would be an insult not to get him the best gift ever! So I have a lot of thinking to do before Friday! He is so hard to buy for because he really has everything!

Brookelyn-Grace got her pictures taken over the weekend with Sha. I can not wait to get the cd! I bet they are going to be just perfect!!! ;)

Brookelyn-Grace is just way to big for her britches here lately...she is getting so smart and just growing way to fast! I wish she was a baby again!!!

Of course her birthday is only 4 months away, but of course I have already started planning it! So far I have her cake, birthday outfit, and theme all picked out. We are going with BARNEY...Yes, you heard right...BARNEY...I know...but I actually enjoy watching it with her. HA HA I use to watch Barney as a child, and I even watched it when Brooke was little. It's way better then Dora the Explorer that's for sure. I am almost positive that I am having it at my house again, with a blow up bouncer of some sort, or maybe even one of those huge water slides. Also I am pretty sure I am going to get BARNEY to come walk around at the party. I think Brookelyn-Grace would love that...or hate it...she may be frightened by him. HA HA.

TO BE CONTINUED....

UPDATE

Okay so graduation has been moved to MAY 15TH...I really do not care when it is, just as long as I graduate! I am sooo ready to have my own classroom! This past week I taught how to write a research paper. FUN, FUN! Ha Ha As crazy as it sounds I love research papers, but teaching them is hard work! I taught how to create a hook, thesis, body & conclusion. After spring break I have to teach note cards. Timberly is great though! She really helps me to feel comfortable with the work and with my teaching. I am getting more and more confident!!! I love teaching 11th and 12th grade, but I do miss my kids from Coach Miles class. (10th grade) I think I would love to each any grades between 10-12th.


I am really excited about being off for spring break! I have been missing BG a lot here latley! I am so glad that I will get to spend my entire spring break with her! I can see going to the park a bunch this coming up week! Maybe a trip to Birmingham too. I bet she would love going to the zoo again! Jeremy has to work though :( but MONDAY & TUESDAY we will be out of town! Really excited about our little getaway!


Since I havent posted a lot of pics here latley, then Ill had some to my blog ;)

It's Been A While....

Wow, it has been so long since I blogged! There has been so much going on here lately that I can not find the time!

Brookelyn-Grace will be 20 months the 27th...Where in the world has time gone? I can not believe that my little baby is about to be 2 years old! It seriously just blows my mind! It makes me so sad that she is getting older. Although it does come with a lot of advantages! She is way easier to take places and she just enjoys a whole lot more things! She has become obsessed with Dora the Explorer & Barney. I like Barney way more. I hate watching Dora. Ha Ha

We just recently bought her a toddler bed too. She loves it! It is so beautiful and it matches our bedroom furniture great! She has a toddler bed in her bedroom, but of course she sleeps with me & Jeremy so I had to buy her another one for our bedroom. Ha Ha

She is just as spoiled as ever! She is a Miss Priss and its her way or the highway! She knows how to manipulate me and Jeremy pretty good too! So basically she gets what she wants, when she wants it! <---Just like her Mommy! Ha Ha

Brookelyn-Grace is also doing great with her, "So Your Baby Can Read" DVD. She can read and imitate so many words already! I highly recommend the DVDs!

Jeremy & I are WONDERFUL! He is the love of my life and treats Brookelyn-Grace and I like we are Princesses! He is one in a million that's for sure! I could not imagine life without that man! He seriously keeps this blonde girl grounded! Ha Ha One thing is for sure, him and I are so ready for a vacation! I have no clue where were going yet, but were going! Ha I think were going to take the kids to the beach in July and then him and I are going to vacation alone sometime before that! Also were planning a family cruise! :) So excited about that!!! Basically my entire family goes and I'm sure the kids are going to have a BLAST! Cruise's are the BEST!

As far as teaching goes and my internship....I LOVE IT! This is exactly where I am suppose to be! I love Curry! The school is wonderful and my teachers are the BEST! I have taught 10-12th grade so far! I've come up with my own lesson plans and everything! I am so ready for graduation MAY 8TH, 2010! I am so super proud of myself! I have come so far and I am just so thankful for my family and friends that have supported me in everything that I have accomplished!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

This year I do not have a New Year's resolution. This year I can not think of one thing I want to change or need to change! I love everything about my life! I have so many blessing and so much faith in the good LORD that all I need to do is keep my faith and love in my LORD, FAMILY & FRIENDS and everything else will fall into place! I have been blessed with so many things here lately! I guess always doing the right thing and being a good person is paying off slowly but surely! Lord knows that I have had my ups & downs this year but I stayed strong & kept looking upward and God helped see me through! I have also been so blessed to see my Brookelyn-Grace's first birthday and see all the ways she has grown! She is truly a blessing! She is my reason for EVERYTHING! In my eyes, she did not just hang the moon she created the universe! I am so in LOVE with her! God has also lead me to a wonderful man! Jeremy & I believe that we were seriously created for one another! He is EVERYTHING I have ever wanted in a man! He treats me so unbelievably good! He truly cares about ME & does things for me, and not to just benefit himself! He truly cares!!! I have also met two of the most wonderful kids ever! Hannah is such a sweetie pie! I love that child so much! We so get each other! She is so easy to talk to and I just adore her and think she can do no wrong. Parker is such a cutie patootie! He is such a sweet little boy! He is super funny and says the most funniest things! I love & adore him! Also I have a beautiful home, not a care in the world & I AM DONE WITH COLLEGE! That's right! I am officially done with college courses! I start my student teaching January 8th! I will graduate in May and hopefully get a job and start in August! ;) Today is my last day at the District Attorney's Office. :( I have worked here since I was 15 years old every summer and became full time after I graduated High School. Charles Baker is the best boss anyone could every have!!! I've learned so much while at the District Attorney's Office! As I leave here today it will be bitter sweet! I love the D.A's office! Everyone here is like my family!!! I am going to miss everyone from staff, officers, attorney's etc...

ALL IN ALL THIS YEAR HAS BEEN WONDERFUL! HAPPY NEW YEARS TO EVERYONE!!!!!
