Char

Charlene and I work together and have become great friends. I would say she is my brains at work too. I don't know what I will do without here when she leaves. (a moment of silence please). Hopefully it won't be for a little while.

This is what happens to us by Friday!

Stamp'n up

Had a great time. My friend Charlene had a "stamp'n up" party tonight. We (Charlene and I)have been going to these parties since February when a parent from our school invited us to hers. My party is next ,but not until August because there were no openings til then. Becky and Sarah were able to come with me this time. They really enjoyed it too!

Here are some of the cards I made tonight.

My favorite one of the night

Grandpa Jackson's Here!!!

Grandpa Jackson and Rodney came for Sunday dinner. We have not seen grandpa for a little while. He is going to be staying with Rodney for a few days so the boys will be able to spend some more time with him before he leaves. Ethan remembers him when they came to visit in Dover. Evan doesn't remember, and this is the first time Easton has met grandpa Jackson. So they are going to enjoy spending time with him while he is here.



And yes also today Evan was promoted to his next class at church!

This afternoon we were getting ready to go out and do a couple of things. I thought I would stop and deposit a 600.00 check into my account while we were out. When I went to get it, it was gone. I could not find it any where. The night before Easton had come out with some money of mine that was with the check. We looked and looked. We questioned the boys over and over if they had seen it with the money. We could not find it. We went through the boys room over and over, where I thought I might have left the money and check. We pulled out beds, dressers, and shelves(even the boys dirty laundry waiting to be done). Still no check. I didn't know what to do. Becky told me that Ethan had gone in her room and went on the other side of her bed and knelt and prayed. And I got on Ethan's bed and started talking to Jesus. I love having a personal relationship with him! I was telling him that I knew that it was do to irresponsibility on my part, but asking him to help me to remember or help me find it. As I was talking to him He told me it was there in the room. Of course I keep talking instead of listening finally I stopped and got up and as soon as I did I saw something laying in the middle of the floor. You guessed it! My check!

In my human mind I was dumb founded and in the back of my mind trying to figure out how it got in the middle of the floor that all of us had gone over and over. I just Thank God, no matter how big or small a matter is, He will take care of us. I just had to share!!!!

Friday night is family night!!!!!!

During these busy times we still make time for family night. Especially with me being so busy with work and school, it is even more important to take the time to spend with the boys. I wanted to go some where out but it was rainy and wet so I stopped and bought the things we needed so the boys could make pizza. We rented a couple of movies. Rodney came over to spend some time with the boys too. Here are some pics.

recital night

It has been soooo crazy busy here. Last night was our spring dance recital at my work (Easton's school) It is a big thing (for a child care center) My class danced to "Eye of the Tiger" it was too cute. Easton's class danced to "Footloose" It was a tribute to the 80's Each class also given a small wooden stool to paint and decorated and auction off. It is a silent auction starting a few days before. Our class did a beach theme. I drew a beach with palm trees and on the legs I drew some under the sea things. I painted some bodies doing things like two mermaids and two scuba divers for the legs of the stool. On the top we had a surfer, a body builder, and some other different bodies doing beach things. we then took pictures of the kids in the class and pasted the heads to the bodies painted. I really enjoyed doing it. I painted a plane with a banner that said Purple (our class color) in Paradise. Any how our stool went for $150.00 Last years went for $85.00 so we went up. One stool from another class went for $450.00.

All the parents enjoy the recital. Especially our classes age group even if they don't get the all the moves they are cute to watch.



Now I have to get end of the year portfolios ready to get out. And we roll right into summer camp which is really fun, but very busy. The theme for the first two weeks is "Welcome to Camp". In the midst of all this I am attending classes two nights a week at IRCC. Evan will be graduating from kindergarten and the boys have a musical coming up.



A side note: I did not take the pictures or video They have it taped and put on dvd but they don't have them done yet. I was in the back getting my class ready. And stupid me didn't bring my camera and the one used is giving fits so sorry about the quality of the pics and videos.

Easton and Mommy on our spring break road trip!

My mom has been and still is a wonderful mother. I don't know what I would have done without her. She has also been the most awesome GRANDmother to my boys. She has always put God first in everything she does and that has shown through.


Here is Grandma Gerard attending Easton's Mother's day Party at school.

I was bummed that I could only pop in for the party for a hug, kiss, flowers, and a card. I just started the lead teacher position in my class and thought it would be fun to have a tea tasting and fashion show. What was I thinking with 2 and 3 year olds. But the mothers and grandmothers really seemed to like it. So my first class party as lead teacher seemed to go well.

Love 'em Love'em Love'm

A little behind

Yeah I am a little behind.....Its May already!!!! April was a busy month too!!! We went on a spring break road trip. We had a great time!!!! But that is another blog when I have time along with pictures. But I thought I would post Evans Kindergarten Spelling bee results. Last Friday was the spelling bee and Evan received a medal for 5th place. I was very proud of him. I wasn't able to go but Grandpa, grandma, aunt Becky and his dad was able to attend.
