My quick visit to Austin, TX and home
I know... I know.... I'm like the worst blogger ever, but really I have been tragically busy. Even right now, I absolutely should not be on here. I have like 10 things on my to do list today. Including a 20 page project about my case study child, that really should...
Crabby Birthday
Let me just preface this by saying I am exhausted. In the classroom I am now teaching for the whole day, we have parent teacher conferences this week. I have 3 of the most monstrous final projects due that you can imagine (Dec 1). And we are off for a whole week for...
Cameraless
So, I really wanted to post a blog about what I did on Halloween. Unfortunately, I made the HUGE mistake of leaving my camera charger in Chicago at the hotel where we stayed. And of course the camera I own has only option for how to charge. You have to take the...

Ok, so as promised here are a few photos from the ever crazy wedding of our amazing friends Justin and Meghan. I will give you just a few photos that I think best sum up everything that happened. A picture before it all started with friends. Looking so fancy! The...

Minecraft Birthday Party
I had made my blog private for awhile, because I wasn't really using it anymore and there's a lot of personal content about my kids, etc. But several people have contacted me on Pinterest asking to see better photos of things I've posted about parties I've thrown, so...
Cousin Love
So thankful for cousin love. We've gotten the privilege of getting together the last 2 Christmases with my cousin and it's been really special.4 out of our 5 kids got the stomach bug and we all said despite that happening, that we were still glad we'd all gotten...
They Grow Up Too Fast
That day when you look over at your kids and go "woah, how did that happen?" That was this day. It might have been the way they were sitting, or that they were sharing an app on my iPhone... but literally Beckham looked almost as big as Keaton and neither one of...
