Mean Ol' Uncle Chad and Brady

Chad and Brady stopped to pick up candles, because I forgot to pick them up with the rest of my list of items.........I should have known better! Poor Rylee!

Rylee's Birthday Party

Today, we had Rylee's birthday party at the Nashville City Park. We had several members of the family who had other obligations so we were so thrilled to have Rayne, Dahli and Lariat Morris and Natalie and Bay Nolte, along with Colin and Brady! Colin and Brady were such good helpers! :) Others who were able to come were BecBec and Nan (Becky and Granville), Mammaw (Cathey), Momo (Frances), Uncle Chad, Annah and Rodney Morris and Stephanie Nolte. Rylee was sooooo excited to see her little buddies and they had such a good time playing at the park.
Nan even brought a trailer of hay and took them on a hay ride! Little Asher Bay (3 months old), even rode on the hayride......thanks to BecBec! I don't think his momma was expecting it to be such a long ride!
Of course, Rylee's birthday would not be complete with a cake from Jamie Pinegar! and of course, it HAD to be a Barney cake! It was delicious and Rylee LOVED it!
She had such a good time opening presents and was so excited about everything she received! She can't decide what to play with first!
We are so lucky to have such good buddies for her! We love her little friends and look forward to watching them all grow!

A True Blessing

Kacey Tinsley Young is a dear friend who experienced some tough times a few years ago. She blogs and has posted about her experience and about her faith in God. It is a true blessing to read. I'm sure she will not care that I linked her post to my blog. Visit her blog, here.

Happy Fall, Y'all!

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything so I guess I'll play a little catch up to keep all of you followers happy......it's such a large number.....I know!

Anyhow....we've started back to school and Rylee has started back to "Nanna's". She LOVES Nanna, Kim, Carson, Claire and sometimes Kenzy (when she's there). She also mentions Ronnie quite often, so I think she's pretty fond of him, too! We are so lucky to have such sweet people taking care of her while we are working. They have been such a blessing and I thank God every day for the blessings they do for us!

I'm in my 3rd year of teaching and it seems to be a little easier this year. I'm really starting to get into my groove and will try to make a committment to add one new thing every year! This year, I'm trying "Whole Brain Teaching". The kids seem to like it and I enjoy it, as well! It's very interactive and engaging for students! Google it and watch a YouTube video of it......it's pretty fun!
I'm working on my Master's and will be finished next Summer. It's so time consuming right now, but I'll be so glad to have that goal accomplished! The program I'm in is through ASU in Jonesboro. It's all online, which is nice. It's also set up to go 5 weeks, one week off, then start up for another 5 weeks. It's pretty intense, but it'll be worth it!

Roy is getting ready to start Basketball in about 3 weeks. We are just hanging out at home these days because we know it's fixin' to get wild and hectic really soon. But - we love it and wouldn't have it any other way!

Brittany and Zach are in 7th and 4th Grade, respectively. Brittany made Jr High Cheerleader at Nashville and Zach is into Soccer right now. They are growing up and are so involved in their activites. We see them when we can, but it doesn't seem like it's very often.

Rylee is getting ready to turn 3 on October 20. I can't believe the little toot is getting so big. She makes my day, EVERY day! She is really into reading her little books, by herself. She loves being a cheerleader and she goes to the Scrapper games with BecBec every chance she gets. BecBec dug out my old cheerleader outfit that I wore in the Little Red Schoolhouse play with Russel Icenhower as the Football player. It's cute on Rylee, but she is so tall that I'm gonna have to get her some tights to go under it before long because it looks more like a tunic than a cheerleader suit.

We are having her 3rd Birthday party next Saturday at the Nashville City Park. She wants a Barney cake and new bicycle.

That's pretty much all that's going on with us for now. Hopefully, I will keep you posted a little more often!
