A Day of Love

I am up late getting ready for Valentines Day tomorrow. I just LOVE this day!!!! I mean pink EVERYWHERE, and those oh so cute little hearts. It just makes me smile. If you saw my last post, you will notice that it is one of Reagan's favorite holidays as well. Tomorrow, she and Roman will exchange Valentines with all f there friends. So fun!!!

I always do a little something for the kids and Jerad as well. This year I am following Willette's Joy of Love project for February and I decided to do something she suggested, which is a CD of love songs for your Loved One. I had to fight the urge to hot glue a big pink flower right on that plastic CD cover but settled on the ribbon :) He can slide that right off and it will be something he can tuck into his console. Lots of Love to all of you!!! Hugs

Like Mother Like Daughter

I look at these photos and I just grin from ear to ear!!!! Reagan {9} needed to decorate a box to hold her valentines from schoolmates. The box I gave her was already really cute....pink with the words "Get Flirty" on it. BUT, no. She insisted on painting the box purple. Then she proceeded to go through my scrapbook stash to find the PERFECT letters for her name, a BIG pink flower and yes even some tulle {now you KNOW we are related right?} Then she placed it all on the box, in exactly the right spot. I glued it down with a glue gun. Didn't it turn out cute!!!!! I mean really, are we related or what!!!!! I am sure everyone at school rolled their eyes when they saw it :) Hugs

Cute Little Christmas Goodies

Thought I would post some pictures of the cute little gifts we gave to some special people at Reagan's school. I always like to do something small for the VERY SPECIAL people that Reagan loves at her school. This year, I gave $5.00 Sonic Gift Cards and attached them to Coke bottles with a little note, a little ribbon and a little bling. I mean who wouldn't like a little bling on their coke, right? Hugs

Dad's Day at Beehive

A few weeks ago, the dads were honored at Beehive, Roman's school. He made an invitation and gave it to Jerad.....so sweet. They had breakfast for the dads and then just did some projects and fun specifically designed for the kids and their dads. Roman was so excited and Jerad had a good time. Hugs

Joy of Love: Day 01

I am following Kelly Willette's class The Joy of Love. It is a one month class focusing on a loved one in your family. It can be a child, husband, dog, cat, you name it. It focuses on a loved one and documents them through photos. I am choosing to focus on Jerad. He is rarely the focus of my photos and that is something I regret. Todays photo focuses on "What he does". One of the things he loves to do is cook for our family. Here are a few shots, day 01. Hugs

Revenge of the Nerds.....UIL Style

WOW, what an event. Wilder Elementary ROCKED UIL!!!! we won first place over all for the second year in a row. An amazing feat!!!!! These kids were amazing and are just so darn smart!!!!! They came prepared and spoke, counted, spelled, listened and wrote creatively......and then they had a party on the gym floor!!!!

Reagan entered Music Memory, something that is really outside of her comfort zone. She worked so hard building up to the event. She took home a medal for 4th place!!!!! I have never been so proud of her. She was really proud of herself and is already talking about next year.

I love that her school celebrates the brain power these kids bring to the table. And celebrate they do. With parades, parties and pats on the back. Thank you Mrs. Bruce for celebrating the nerd in all of us. Hugs.

UIL Competition......IS TOMORROW!!!!!

YIKES. I can not believe it is time again for UIL. Reagan is competing again. This time she will take on Music Memory. She is doing so well and is quite good at it. So, send positive thoughts her way tomorrow around noon. My hope for her is that she just do her best and feel good about her effort. They are having a "jeans day" today to celebrate the UIL participants. She is just so stinking cute.

I have to throw in a photo of Roman as well. This photo was taken last week at Beehive. They were celebrating Dads with a fun filled morning full of activities. Roman has baseball tryouts tomorrow morning. It is going to be a BUSY day. Hugs.
