Bluebonnet Baby....

Since I have been an admittedly bad blogger lately…I feel the need to catch up on posting some of the MOST adorable pictures of my little munchkin. Just like all the other people in town, I got my little angel all dolled up and drove her over to the bluebonnet filed off of FM707 near Highway 83/84 South. I managed to get some pretty sweet shots of my little darling…

God''s Beauty...

Precious Baby Of Mine...

This is Neat Mom...

I hope you can really see this picture. It was the neatest picture I have ever taken. Jolea had petals in her hand that she let go of above her head. I was snapping away with the camera and managed to get a shot of the purple petals just floating in the air. This picture is worth a million dollars to me :-)

Another favorite...

And another...

Thank You God for gracing this earth we live on with such beauty.

Sesame Street Live....

Today is the day that my Jolea Dru has been waiting on all week long. Today is the day that we went to see this…

And her favorite character of all…

Grammy went with us today and it was a sweet time shared just between the girls.

Once the show started, Jolea never took her eyes of the stage. She had this serious expression on her face the whole time…

It really was a cute little production and we had PERFECT seats. Very close to all the action. The show featured all of Sesame Street’s most recognized characters. The theme was “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The gang was preparing for a pageant on Sesame Street. When Elmo and his Sesame Street friends thought about growing up, it was a musical show-and-tell! Bert dreamed of becoming a forest ranger, Telly longed to be a cowboy and their newest friend, Abby Cadabby, wanted to be a Fairy Godmother just like her mommy. Elmo thinks about becoming a 'weather monster,' but has a hard time predicting his own forecast-he wants to be anything and everything all at once! It was a sweet story performed very nicely and well worth the money paid to see it. Here are a few pictures I snapped while we were there…

Bert and Ernie...

Elmo and his Cowboy friends...(ooops about all the heads in the pic, I thought I cropped it)

Cookie Monster wanted to be a fireman when he grew up...

Jolea's FAVORITE...Elmo's World

The Whole Gang perfoming the Sesame Street Pageant at the end of the show...

The End...notice all the paper streamers? There was a loud POP that came out of nowhere when those shot out from the cieling...SCARED the HOOEY...outta us girls :-)

Jolea snagged a "little piece of the show" when a streamer fell across her face!!!

Fun Times Spent With Fun Girls...Does It Get Any Better Than This?

Catching Up....

My goodness...I have really proven myself to be a very unfaithful blogger these past few weeks haven’t I? I guess you could say we have been a little bit busy. I finally finished up my student teaching at Hawley and I was a proud to be a graduate of the class of 2010 from McMurry University.

Ever since then…I have been hitting the pavement running looking for a J.O.B

I have faithfully been going garage saling looking for all the goodies I can possibly find for my classroom. It’s hard to buy things when I don’t know what grade level I will be teaching. I feel like I have contacted EVERY single Elementary principal in Abilene and I have had a really good interview at Jackson Elementary. Although I haven’t been called back yet, I am still holding out hope that I am going to be the person for the job. If any of you have any pointers or could possibly put in a good word for me…that would be VERY appreciated.

Jolea finished up Mothers Day Out for the year and we have been enjoying some time at home together. Although sometimes we tend to butt-head’s, she has really been a sweet girl the last couple of weeks. I have enrolled her in the drop-in-day at her current MDO so she stays in touch with all of her friends and becomes familiar with her new teacher Mrs. Cindy for next year. It’s only on Thursdays from 10 to 2. She seems to really like going to school and the teachers just think she hung the moon. On top of all that…it gives mama a little break during the week!!! Here she was on her first day of school...my-o-my how she has grown.

Andy is ready to finish up school too. His last day is June 3rd…WooHoo and then it’s OFF to another busy and fun filled summer.

We have one of these to go to…

Andy’s brother Brandon will be getting married in Paradise Texas on June 12th

Then in late June we are headed here…

The Guadalupe River…To do a little bit of this…

Tubing and camping…

With these GREAT friends of ours…

And we can’t wait.

In other “Breaking News,” my parents have SOLD this…

And will be moving in RIGHT NEXT DOOR to Andy and me. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Hmmm…that is the question to ponder. I know that one little bitty person that lives in our house is going to think this is the COOLEST thing ever. Jolea will be beside herself that she can go to Grammy and Poppy’s house anytime she wants too. Mommy and Daddy a.k.a Andy and Terah think this is also a wonderful free babysitting arrangement!!! It will also be very convenient next year if and when I get a job…I won’t have far to go to get Jolea to the sitter’s house!!! I think overall it’s going to be a GREAT arrangement and I couldn’t be happier that they SOLD their house and that we get to have them as neighbors for a little while. They will start building in October and should probably be moved into their new home by February or March depending on how smoothly things go.

Well, that’s about all for now. It’s a holiday weekend…and we don’t have a single plan in the works!!! I could use some sunshine and a cool pool of water somewhere…but I doubt that will happen. I hope everyone is doing well and is ready for another beautiful Texas summer. I promise to do a better job on the blog too.
