Baby Mama











Hey everyone,

I just realized that it has been a month and a half since I wrote on my blog, and I apologize. I had to start an anonymous teacher blog just to give me something to post about because my life is work, well up until last week. David and I are going to have a baby on/around August 10th. We're excited, but also freaked out. We weren't trying to have a baby, but it decided to come on anyway. I've been super sickly for the last week. So far being pregnant means throwing up, hating food, being crazy bloated, being tired, peeing all the time, and throwing up more. Everything I've read says this is a good sign, but it's definitely not enjoyable. I don't care as long as it's healthy. I'll keep you posted on this, I promise.
Last night David was in the wearable art show "Uncommon Thread." He did absolutely amazing. He had to wear this crazy bull head he made and stand up on gun stilts ( he also made). The crowd went totally crazy. He should have won, but didn't. I'm terribly proud of him. I didn't get great pictures, because If I didn't sit down, I would have gotten sick. I saw some great pictures I will post once the other people post them on facebook.

Also in the past month we got a snow day! This is the first time in Baton Rouge history it has snowed 2 years in a row. I guess we're just lucky like that. We also had a bad sweater christmas party that was a blast.

I have one week left of school and then off to Arkansas to sleep, rest, and open presents!

Happy Halloween







Here are some long awaited Halloween pictures. Sorry I never post. I have a new blog, but my life has been so busy, it's been hard to post there this week too. I will catch up soon. I promise.

Smoky Mountains






Gorgeous...

Cabin and Aquarium






Here are some pictures of our cabin and the Aquarium in Gatlinburg. Click here to see the swanky cabin. I would highly recommend this place. The view was beautiful, the accommodations were top notch, it's 10 miles from the craziness of Gatlinburg (ie. pancake house, airbrush place, fudge shop, mini golf, another pancake house, etc.) and it was pet friendly so we got to bring Rocky and Boomer. We've had a blast eating tenessee cookin', white water rafting, mini golfing and playing rummikub. Tomorrow we're headed to Baton Rouge, a little sad. It has been so great to spend time with our families. I'm headed back to Little Rock about July 22nd or 23rd and then to both family reunions before school starts. I had a dream/nightmare last night that school started, and none of my kids showed up. I had to move my classroom three time and Brad Pitt was the librarian. Interpret that...

White Water Rafting






It was a struggle, but we finally got Dave to go white water rafting with us, and I swear he is actually smiling in some of the pictures.

Glorious Branson, Mo








David and I got back from Ireland safe and sound, hung with the Carpenter clan and headed straight to Siloam Springs, and then promptly to Silver Dollar City in Branson. It was amazingly awesome. We all got one of those old timey tin-type pictures made; the kids were adorable, and I got to ride all of the roller coasters with my dad. Also, my dad totally screamed "I loooooove thiiiiiis!" on Wildfire when it went upside down. It was pretty spectacular, until I got off of it the second time and wanted to throw up. It was wonderful to be with the whole family, and to visit a place that reminds me so much of my childhood. I haven't been there in probably 15 years. Here are some pictures!

P.S. We just got to the Smoky Mountains a few hours ago with David's folks. I know, quit hating on us for our ridiculous summer-vacation-amazingness.

Dublin, publin, clublin











It was a beautiful day in Dublin. I got a new passport and walked around town. Here are some pictures.
