Happy Birthday!

Time to blow out the candles!! That's right, today was my birthday! WOO HOO

I had a good day despite the fact that Mike and I had to be in LR at the crack of dawn for my doctors appointment. Before we hit the road we stopped at Daylight Donuts for some breakfast. A friend of ours owns the one here... so we visit frequently! He had a box set aside with my favorite "Pumpkin Spice" donuts, donut holes and a note !! What a great way to start the day off... right!

I had already eaten the donut holes before I remembered I hadn't taken pictures! HA

I tried to relax and enjoy my day!

I am SO blessed to have all my family living around me. We ate dinner tonight with the family at Savannah's. I had the grilled Salmon and finished the meal with yummy chocolate cake!

I got lots of cute gifts! Here is a picture of Mike, Jax and I. Jax did a great job helping Aunt Whitney or as he calls me "Aunt We We" open gifts! By the way we are working on the name! HA.. I'm not thrilled about "Aunt We We" but it's too funny to hear it come out of his sweet little mouth.

My Mom got me this beautiful Christmas serving dish! It has the bible verse "She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, his name was Jesus". I have had my eye on it since Millyn's put Christmas out but just never would buy it for myself....

I LOVE IT!

Okay, so I have to share this with ya! Mike's Aunt Laura bought some lottery tickets and gave them to me in a card. Now if you know me at all, you know that this chick does not like to gamble!!! HA.. I just have a hard time risking it, especially if it's slot machines. I would totally be okay if I put money in and a pair of shoes shot out!

But since this was a gift I felt like I could this time... since she bought them and I didn't! So I had my nephews kiss em' for good luck and began scratching away.

Hold onto your seats ladies and gentlemen.... I WON......... $1.00!! HA

The rest of my week and weekend is going to be crazy. Please say a little prayer for Mike and I. We go back to the doctor on Friday.

Hope ya'll have a great weekend!

I'm Lovin It

I'm lovin it..... and no I'm not talking about McDonald's! HA

A Tuesday Morning store just opened in our town! WOO HOO

After I got back in town today from my doctors appt.,I stopped by to check it out!!

I found some cute stuff today but sometimes it's a hit or miss.

I just LOVE these towels! They have this set on sale right now along with the shower curtain. I have been wanting to redo our spare bathroom... so this is an option.

Animal print is SO in right now and is SO much FUN!

I think I might go back and get it. Just haven't made up my mind yet.

Well ya'll have a good weekend!

GO HOGS!

Nothing Fancy

So I have been meaning to post some pictures of my fall decor... it's really nothing fancy!

My house is practically decorated for fall year round since my colors are fallish.

Here's Mr. Jack-o-lantern hanging out on the front porch!

I have these cute little things on my mantle... they are from Southern Living and are filled with mini orange foam balls!

I have a hint of fall above my entertainment center.

My favorite thing is my Jack-o-lantern jar that's filled with an oh so YUMMY mix of candy corn and peanuts.... it's a seasonal favorite of mine!!! Oh and I can't forget to mention my pumpkin pie Yankee candle.

Well that's what Fall looks like around my house!

I love to look at everyones decor just to get new ideas and such.

So lets see what your house looks like!

I bet it's fabulous!

Is September over yet?

REALLY... Please wake me up when it's over!

This month has been the most off key month for me. I just haven't felt like myself. The weird thing is I haven't been on any meds up until this week! You would think that I would feel better without them rather than with them!

Goodbye Clomid, hello Letrozole!

I started taking Femara a.k.a Letrozole this past Wednesday.

So far so good though with the new medicine.

We are just hoping and praying that good things come from it!

I have high hopes that October will be a FABULOUS month!

I have never had a bad October... well part of that might be because my birthday is in October! But still.. it's going to be great!

We have had a lazy weekend so far. Mike spent the morning in the woods working on deer stands and all the things that go along with hunting! I stayed home and made chicken 'n dumplings and waited for 2:3o to roll around so we could call the HOGS and watch the Razorbacks play Bama. Unfortunately we lost.

We plan on hearing an awesome sermon at church in the morning followed by a yummy lunch of leftovers.

(I always think chicken 'n dumplings are better the second day.)

I'm sure I'll make my usual Sunday trip to my classroom to prepare for my little darlings!

Ya'll have a great Sunday!

Finally Fall

Happy Fall Ya'll!!!

I love Fall for many reasons.... but to sum it up it just puts me in a GOOD mood!

My life has been ever so busy and I don't foresee it slowing down anytime soon. I have been a busy bee teaching my "Apple Unit" this week in my classroom. I just LOVE how the kids get so excited. You can do so much with the kids using apples. Tomorrow I am making homemade applesauce in my room. They are SO excited about this small event. I do have to say though that if I have heard"Well I don't like applesauce" 1 time, I have heard it a million!

How does a child NOT like applesauce???

I hope ya'll have a great rest of the week!

Long Time No See

Clearly blogging has not been a priority of mine lately.

I have been trying to keep myself as busy as humanly possible.

Now that the weekend is here, I think I am going to clear my plate and RELAX!!

I'm going to do something I love... decorate for FALL!! To some thats a chore but to me it's exciting and puts me in a fantastic mood!

Although I have plenty of fall decorations... I'm sure I'll make a trip to Hobby Lobby before it's all said and done.

After I'm done putting on the final touches, I will post some pictures for ya'll.

We will be rooting on the HOGS this weekend as well!

WOO PIG SOOIE!!

I thought I might share with you a picture from one of my first Razorback games.

Gosh we look SO young and Mike is probably 20lbs lighter in this picture. HA!

Hope ya'll have a great 3 day weekend!

So Far... So Good

I hope I am not speaking too soon!

So far I have had no problems with any of my students!!

WOO HOO

I have some sweet students... Although I think in the near future some of them might start testing the waters.. so far all is good!

I have been SO exhausted the past few days. It is difficult to get back in the swing of things.

The couch has been calling my name after school these days! HA

Right now I think I am in survival mode but I feel that each day things get a little easier!

I love my husbands comment to all of my tiredness... "Well hunny, I don't know why your tired... all you do is color all day!".... HAHA

Let me tell you. If he came and worked with me just ONE day... he would be praising me and saying "I don't know how you do it"!

I love my job! It is SO rewarding and wouldn't want to be anywhere else!
