Shutterfly Love!

I love to send cards through Shutterfly! It allows me to use my own photos and they will even mail it for you. I don't have to come across the card, still in the bag, in the back of my closet 3 months from now. It also helps when they have a coupon for a free card! I just had to pay postage on this baby! Take a look:

It's Been SOOOO Long

I feel like my blog has died. I think when I quit scrapbooking and got completely overwhelmed when we found out little one #4 was on the way....But I had a free moment, so I thought I would upload some pics of my beautiful, crazy family. Our littlest one just turned ONE! I can't believe it. He still doesn't sleep through the night.

And this one is just the sweetest (most of the time).

These two are so much alike...I'm not kidding y'all! The two most obnoxious children ever and they probably got it from me. They pick at each other constantly. But they have so much personality, we just love em'!

My beautiful Ash is not so little anymore and the girl can wear my clothes! But I can also wear hers ;)

The whole crazy bunch!!

Where has the summer gone???

I'm not sure where my summer has gone. I know I've spent too much time sitting at my laptop working on a research paper. I can't wait to be finished with this class! Next week I have in-service training for school. I have to start getting my room ready. It just doesn't seem like it should be time already. We already bought back-to-school supplies!

So, I made this album quite awhile back for Ryan. Sometimes, I can be hard to deal with (yes, I will admit it) and I wanted him to have a reminder that I DO love him very much!

Brotherly Love

My first official layout for Elsa Belle! It took less than half an hour. For some reason she has loved Austin from the start. He can crack her up like no one else!

Summer is Here!!

Tomorrow is the last day of school!! Today was the last day for the kiddos. It is a very crazy time for our district. We are now grouped by grade level. I teach reading in a 3rd/4th grade building. Next year we will have four elementary schools with grades K-5. That means basically everyone in our district is moving their classroom to a new building. Everything has to be loaded on pallets by tomorrow afternoon. Fortunately, I am staying in my building and moving right down the hall. I will return as a 1st grade teacher!! I am so excited! I have really missed being in the classroom and I feel like 1st grade is a good fit for me.

So, one more day and then I can relax... right after the wedding. And the week of professional development in Arkansas. And the four graduate hours I'm taking. Yes, relax.

Going to spend some time with these precious faces:

My beautiful daughters!

I'm not sure if anyone is still reading my blog. It has all but died. I miss posting, but I just feel like I have nothing to talk about. Here are my beautiful children! Oh, yeah...and here they are again! Fascinating to me, yet I realize others may not be as captivated as I am.

What else can I say? Ryan and I are getting married in June. Exciting as it is, I am not into weddings and such. I am exhausted with three children. Even as I type this the oldest is saying something about not have A SINGLE pair of shorts clean to wear tomorrow. I am only hearing half of it. Just taking 5 minutes to update this is making me feel like a bad mama. Thank goodness those other two little ones are in bed!

I have been making a few things for the wedding, so I will try to post those soon. Since I will always be a scrapbooker at heart there WILL be handmade flowers with button centers on the tables at the wedding reception. Even if we are having fried chicken and beer! The buttons will class up the entire event. I am sure of it.

Happy Thursday!

We Got Snow!

I guess that's all I have to say about that. We didn't manage to get a day off school, but we did get to go sledding. And wear our cool sock monkey hats!
