Just a Few Things

Some things that I am grateful for....
This is my Husband, our son, and our dog. These three boys are the center of my universe and without any one of them, I would not be the person I am today.

This is my mom, allowing Jack to explore the backyard. I am grateful for this moment.

These are my new pink flip flops. They make me smile every time I put them on...they are hot pink, I think that is why.

This is Sydney and her brother Max. These two are the most charming angels you will ever meet.

This is Jack and his Bull. Jack can't get enough of him.

This is Jack sleeping. I really am grateful for these moments.

And finally, I am so super grateful for the full night of rest that I had last night. (I would have taken a picture of that, but I was sleeping, and I'm sure it wouldn't have been that cute!)
For now, back to laundry.

Yard Sale Mania

I love yard sales! This weekend, Huntsville's Hampton Cove neighborhood had one large yard sale. Seriously, there were police cars controlling traffic! House after house was filled with random stuff, or what the owner may deem as junk! Well, some of that junk became our treasure. Really! My parents found an awesome Ethan Allen desk for 20.00! Also, they were able to pick up a crib, for my sister-in-law, a really nice white chair for our living room, and a beautiful coffee table! Yard sales are just great! Now, would I love to be able to pick out really nice furniture in a lovely store? Of course, but when you can find the same thing for less...why not?? This time last year, I was able to find Jack's crib, changing table, and bassinet all in one day and under 100.00! Needless to say, I'm loving these great finds!!
And just in case you want to see my baby...

Big News

I am kicking postpartum's tail...or the Prozac is! Whatever it is, it is working. I just can't tell you how great it feels to want to get out and enjoy a day! So, this brings me to the fact that I ACTUALLY sent in a cover letter and resume to Whitesburg Middle School! Everybody, please say a million prayers that they will at least call me for an interview! I can knock their socks off then! Oh, and pray that I am the only English teacher in Huntsville that wants this job!! hee! hee! I know that whatever happens there is a rhyme and reason. Nonetheless, I am very excited about the opportunity or thought of being able to get into a classroom.
Happy May everyone!
Olivia, do you know if Bitty taught at Whitesburg?

Month in Review

Alright, so I have pretty much been away from this blog for a month now and I am starting to have serious blog withdrawals. I want to give you an idea of what has been going on lately. Instead of writing an insanely long blog, I will just make my review in pictures...with a few captions! Enjoy!

Big storms this month!

Jack getting tornado ready!

A lot of drool!

Daddy and Jack

Going crazy because....

it's tax season!

Brian's Birthday and the cake that I made for him!

Jack loving the candles...

My big Boy (funny weather in April)

April showers bring May flowers!

Hope you enjoyed April; I know that we did!

hee hee

I completly forgot that Brian and I have a laptop that is fully covered with spyware! Silly me! Alright, so new updates are on their way...don't worry, Jack's little face will be posted soon! I hope that everyone has a great week!

Just checking in

oh, I miss my blogging world. I always get so excited about checking my google account for new blog postings by others. I also love updating my blog. I have so many fun pictures to post and none of them with me. (remember...the computer is still down and I am having to use another computer far from home) Jack is rolling over and we are diligently practicing the word Mama! I gave Jack carrots yesterday and they ended up in both nostrils, eyes, hair, everywhere! Needless to say, he was more excited about playing with his food than eating it! He is rotten and I love every bit of him! Also, Brian and I will be going to the beach in May and it is all that I think about. I wake up each morning knowing that my toes will soon be emerged in sand. I look forward to sand being on Jack's toes. Another plus, I have actually started to think about teaching again. It has been a good seven months that I wanted nothing to do with work...not because I don't love to teach, I do, I just have had different thoughts lately...and I am pretty sure that things are starting to look a little brighter around here. Thank goodness! And trust me, I know that the sentence above is in no way grammatically correct, and this one may not be either...I am just happy to get a blog post up!
Pictures are soon to follow! I hope that everyone is enjoying April!

So Tragic

Our computer has a virus. I am posting this via my parent's house. We have to buy a spyware kit from the store to fix our computer. Knowing Brian and I, this could take several days. So, if you are missing all of my oh-so-exciting blog updates...don't fret, they will return soon! Until then, make sure your spyware is updated! If not, you may become a victim of this April Fools Day virus...no I'm not playing an April Fools on you, that is the name of the vicious virus. Be back soon!
