Girl's Weekend Getaway!

This past weekend Chris had a chance to take the boys to his parents house and go deer hunting. I had a girl's weekend with my mom.  

It started off on Friday night when we drove to Irion County and watched our mighty Braves take on the Hornets. The Braves squashed them. It was kind of sad. My two favorite parts of the game were when #12 (my nephew) played quarter back and ran it up the middle for a first down, and when that same #12 intercepted a pass and ran it back a long way before he was tackled. I love #12 and football!!  Happy Aunty here!

After that Mom and I spent the night in San Angelo, got up early the next morning and had hair appointments, then made our way to Fredricksburg. We had a blast shopping at the trade days and at all the cute shops downtown. 

My favorite part of the weekend was getting to see a long lost friend from my very first year of teaching. She is retired now, but this friend taught me so much in that first year. We visited like old times and never missed a beat. She was such a good Christian role model. 

Saturday night, we went to the Rock Box and watched a George and friends show. It was awesome, even though a man came up to me and told me he "just wanted to say hi to the only person there under 55."  It was true, but I still enjoyed the show. 

Sunday morning we enjoyed a little more shopping before heading back home. It was a much needed break and getaway. I can't think of a better person to shop with than my mom!

Oh, Heath!

Heath got bit by either a mosquito or a flea right on the forehead.  It swelled up and had an allergic reaction.  Poor baby looked like he ran into a brick wall.  He had a huge goose egg!

My sweet babies come to my classroom in the afternoons while I am still having tutorials with some of my students.  To keep them busy and out of my way, I put them on Lexia, a computer learning program.  This past week, while I was working with other students, I looked up to find that poor Heath had fallen sound asleep while doing his work.  He told me later that "Kindergarten was exhausting!"

I know it looks like he is smiling, but I can attest that he was really sound asleep.  I finally turned off his computer and he crawled under my desk and continued his nap.

Homecoming 2014

A sweet lady from our church made all of our church kids mums and garters.  The boys loved theirs for about 2 minutes, then decided they were done.  They looked really cute though.

Can you guess what the number of the year is?

Life From My IPhone Pictures

We have been so busy around here.  School is running me ragged.  My personal blog has taken a backseat to my school blog.  If you want to know what we are learning in 4th grade (which I'm sure is why you clicked over here ;) ) come on over and visit. www.mrsamthors4thgrade.blogspot.com  This is a new teaching requirement and it's wearing me out.

It has rained a few times and everything is so green at the moment.  The boys love when it rains because there are puddles to play in.

Dove season has started up and we have gotten to go a few times.

Heath caught a big horned toad at church and wanted me to take his picture.

Football is big around our house (and town for that matter).  The boys got to meet Tahoe at the pep rally.

We had special jerseys made for our favorite players (Owen, Zeke, and Zane are all #12.  On their respective teams of course)

We had a get away with our besties at the Oasis.  It was so much fun to hang out with our friends.  While the weather wasn't great for swimming, it was perfect for sitting on the porch and drinking coffee.

I'll try to be better about keeping up with both blogs and life.  

Until next time...

1st Day of Kindergarten

I may have gone into picture overload this year. No, we didn't have a mid-morning wardrobe change, these pictures were taken over several days. I couldn't choose a favorite.

It was Momma's first day back to work, too.

Tough Kindergarteners!

The ride home that afternoon. Kindergarten is exhausting!

The Jimmy Watts 4-H Center

Last night we attended the dedication ceremony of the new 4-H center. The county decided to name it after a man who has worked for over 30 years with the 4-H program and the man who worked for many, many years to have this building built, my daddy.

I couldn't have been prouder.
