First's

Well today was Britt's first day of work!!  I mean her first applied and interviewed and got the job completely on her own kinda job!!  I am so proud of her and her readiness to be working.  So today 5/29/2012 Brittanie started at Old Navy.
As Brittanie has turned 16 this year she has had so many "first's" .  From her.....
First Boyfriend
First Breakup
First Time Driving
First Car
First Job
and many many others.......

Even though  all these "firsts" are so exciting and in my opinion happening way tooo fast!!! Today I will enjoy remembering her first smile, first steps, first word, and look forward to and embrace all the new 'First's" yet to come!!

I love you Britt!!

Last Day

Well it is Monday and while it is not the last day of school it is the last day I will be home for more than five minuets by myself.  This year has gone by so fast.  It seems like we have been talking about Eva going to kindergarten and Britt turning 16 forever.  Well now that has all passed us by!  I love seeing my girls grow and every day is a surprise but today hit me hard as I was getting breakfast ready.  Eva was sitting at the bar reading away and Britt of course looking at her phone I just stared and realized how far they have come this year.  They are both really such great kids!!
So as the summer officially begins this Wednesday at 2:10 for Eva and 2:45 for Britt I just want to say thanks to all my family and friends who help me with these two great girls!!  I am really blessed to have such great people to walk this journey with.

LET THE SUMMER BEGIN!!!!!

Last Full Week

Well my girls both woke up this morning knowing there are only 5 more days of school after today!  They both do not mind school but are both night owls.  So, that means mornings are kinda crazy at my house.  NOBODY wants to get out of bed.
Brittanie has her first job interview yesterday and is expecting a call so praying it all works out.  A first job is such a huge deal to her right now.  I think she is really looking forward to it!  Even if this does not pan out she has put a lot of applications out there so something will come along I am sure.
Mother's day was great and my family pampered me with new shoes and two new pandora beads for my bracelet!  I was very surprised, but most of all loved spending the whole day with them.  I hope all of you had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Typical Tuesday

Well things are back to normal after I was gone to Indy this weekend.  I had a great weekend learning about core curriculum, Indiana Advocacy, and Diversity.  While I was gone, Britt attended the North 5k and cheered for the runners.  What a sunburn she has!!  Her shoulders are so bad she is walking around the house in a sports bra and you know she would never do that if she did not have too. 

It is Teacher Appreciation this week and I have done some cooking, today breakfast and Thursday desserts!!  I decided to make some things I have seen on  Pintrest.  Strawberry Lemonade cake from easybaked.net !!  So appreciative of the teachers in my children's lives a cake is the least I could share.  I know it is such a hard day to come in and deal with 30 plus kids a day.  So, shout out to all the teachers out there a week is not enough to honor what you do everyday!

Bloggin'
