Getting to know you!



1. Have you ever snooped around someone else's house?
Yes and I am ashamed of it.

2. Can guys and girls be friends? ( thanks Jen!)
Absolutely! Some of my best friends are guys, including my husband!

3. Can you curl your tongue?
LOL! yes and I love to tie a knot with a cherry stem with my tounge...hehe
4. Have you ever stolen anything?
Tough questions this week....yes when i was a kid I am pretty sure I stole some candy and my mom made me go back and give it back.

5. Would you rather talk on the phone or text?
Depends on the person. If I have alot to say I would rather talk. If it is something short and sweet I like to text. I always talk to my mom on the phone. We talk at least once a day and have been for the past 4 years since I have been in Georgia.

6. Memorial Day plans?
Sadly I have none, I wish I had a pool in my backyard. I may get together with some friends so I can go to the pool with them but I'm not sure. Usually I am home at this time of the year and having cookouts and with friends and family. :(

7. What do you do to relax?
Exercise, read, lay in the sun, shop or sleep!

8. Do you do anything to honor those that have died fighting for our freedom?
No, I should I know that is bad, like i said we are not usually here for Memorial Day, so we don't have anything to honor those who have died.
Hope you all have a safe, restful and fun Memorial Day weekend!

No more School!



Schools out for Summer!!!
Yay me! I have the next 10 weeks off!!!! Well almost off. I applied to teach summer school and if I don't do that I will be teaching Kindercamp for a week in June. But other than that I am officially on vacation!!! YAY.

I just wanted to share some updates on the last couple days of school!

My kids and I had so much fun. Tuesday was Dance through the Decades day. Here is what i wore:

I was trying to look 80's! Then we had our class party and I wrote this for my class and read it to them:

This year has been one to remember, I will remember it always and forever

From the first day I walked in, as scared as I was

Yes that’s right a teacher can be scared just because.

Throughout this year we went through it all,

The good, the bad and together we did grow

Together as a family we became,

so fond of each other just the same

We had field day, and field trips just to name a few,

A push, A shove and a silly one or two.

Tiffany, Alexis, Shaunya & Janizsha you were all as sweet as sweet can be

A’Mya who says she is Minnie me

With Ava’ and Kaniya they are the 3 Musketeers

And Ashlee who cheers she always puts in her best effort

With Jordan F and Joshua R who have the best work ethics

Ben is quiet but smart just the same

Joshua Brown has improved since he came

Then there’s Lenval my Horton you are so smart and talented too

And Tyler you are amazing and I am so proud of you.

Jordan Kidd the fantastic drummer who shinned on stage just like the others

Cordell or should I say Chris Rock with your sense of humor and athletic ability I know that someday I will see you on TV.

Shimika & Jocelyn my two quiet girls!

Tarek & Brendon the class always complained because you both love to talk and act out the same all you wanted was some attention instead you just kept getting yourselves into detention.

Blake you loved to talk no matter where I moved you, you always found someone to talk too

Michael you are a brain, and care so much, about the grades you get, because you ask too much!

Johnathan my writer and bodyguard too, you tried to protect me when I was just protecting you!

And of course there’s Naterrious, I saved the best for last, Mr. too cool for school but guess what HE PASSED!!!

No more books, no more tests, no more cleaning out your desks! You have made it this far and you have succeed. I am so proud of each and every one of you for you are all that you have achieved!

Good luck next year wherever life may take you, always remember to believe in yourself and try your best and everything else will fall in to place as you lead your life to Success

Have a good summer!


Wednesday was the last day. We had 5th grade awards with the parents and whole grade level in the morning, then we hung out the rest of the day. All morning and throughout the day my kids did this to my white board:
I guess they loved me! :) Lol.

Top 2 Tuesday!




Top 2 Dates

1. This is the date we do most often! Dinner, movies and mini golf! We love to be outside and love to challenge each other when we play. We also love going to the movies. As a kid Zach was always going to the movies. So once we started dating I became a movie buff.
2. This one we have only done once and I would love to somehow repeat it again in some way shape or form. On our honeymoon we went on a sunset cruise. It was so romantic, fun and relaxing. I love being on a boat, and watching the sunset just makes things so much better!

Weekend Recap!



Well I had a great weekend! The weather was sunny and 91 on Sunday a great way to end the weekend and start my last week of school.

Friday: Zach and I went to Johnny's Pizza to meet our friends Krissy and Nate! We had a great time. They have a little 3 month old and he was awesome. Check out how stinkin cute this little guy is!!!
Saturday: Was getting things done day, I ran errands, went tanning and make chocolate Eclair pie for a cookout i went to Saturday night.


As promised here is the recipe:

1 box graham crackers
2 large boxes of vanilla pudding
1 large cool whip
1 container of chocolate frosting


Make pudding as usual, Let it sit for about 5 min. Then add the cool whip to the pudding. In your pan place a layer of graham crackers on the bottom,
then layer the pudding, graham crackers, pudding, graham crackers, pudding and graham crackers.
Take the choc. frosting and melt it in the micro for about 30sec.
Mix it and pour it over the top layer of graham crackers.
Store in the fridge!



Saturday night I also watched the Celtic's game. I was so excited they won!! We are 3-0 in the series, just have one more game to win and we are off to face the Lakers most likely!
I love this guy:
Sunday: Zach was off so we did some housework and went to the mall. We had a great day together just relaxing and not doing much of anything. We did enjoy some sun outside.


I hope you all had a great weekend! I have a question, is there a way to make a blog private? Some of my students are googling my name and finding my blog. (hi mini me..I know you probably read this post ;)

Tomorrow is Dance through the Decades at school and I have something to wear, I am just not sure if I am going to.

2 days left!! YAYAYAY
