Jenna's First Pedicure




Jenna had her first real pedicure today. She did such a great job. She sat very still and didn't even come close to messing up her toe nail polish. She even got little flowers drawn on both of her big toes. It was so much fun. I forgot my camera, but Mitzi was nice enough to take a couple of pictures for me. After our pedicures, Mitzi and Addy came to McDonald's for lunch and play. We had a great day. I'm looking forward to our next girls' day together! It's so neat to be able to do these wonderful things together. Now I have to figure out what "manly" thing I can do with Jordan. :) Maybe I will take him fishing or something? Or, I might try to think on that a little more!

Disney on Ice




Jeff and I took the kids to see Disney on Ice at the American Airlines Center in Dallas last weekend. We had so much fun! Jordan and Jenna loved it. They couldn't take their eyes off of all the characters. We saw Donald and Daisy Duck, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Goofy, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Lilo and Stitch, Peter Pan, and Tinker Bell. It lasted 2 hours, but Jordan and Jenna didn't get restless until the last 30 minutes, which is great for 2 yr olds! I think their favorite character was Tinker Bell. It was very cool. I would encourage everyone with kids to see it at least once!


This was obviously Jenna's funny face!!! She was saying cheese really big!! Too funny!

I had so much fun spending time with Jordan and Jenna over spring break. I just wish it could have lasted longer. We played at McDonald's, played outside, Disney on Ice, etc. I love being with my babies!!!!

My Birthday

Well, today is my birthday. How very uneventful. I was awakened at 6:15AM by my friend Donald telling me happy birthday. Then My wonderful little man, Jordan, woke up and snuggled with me for a while. That is by far the greatest way to wake up. Jordan loves to cuddle. After we cuddled for a while, I had to commence with my oh so wonderful routine of getting ready for work! I take Jordan and Jenna to their Nana's house on Thursdays and Fridays. Today they get to go to Trinity Baptist Church for Bible school. They love playing with other kids! I am going to take off one Thursday so I can go watch them. Last week their Nana told me that there were lots of hugs all around when they left. So strange how fast they are growing! I am going to find tickets for Disney on Ice today. I can't wait to take them to that. I will post pictures from it after we go.
My aunt is going to take me out to eat for lunch today in Mt. Vernon for my birthday. That will be a nice change from the ordinary. Jeff got me a really cool Ipod Nano for my birthday. It plays videos, hold pictures, and lots of music. It's amazing what new technology there is now. Funny thing is I had to have a student download songs on it for me! Oh well. Well, I will try to continue posting every day! We will see how successful I am. TTYL!

First Blog



Well, Mitzi has encouraged me to start a blog, so I thought I would give it a try. I have adorable twins. A boy, Jordan Ray, and a girl, Jenna Lee. The picture is of them with my wonderful mom. They are my life! I love being a mother. It is by far the greatest adventure I have been on. We are hopefully going to Disney on Ice in Dallas over spring break. I think it will be lots of fun! I will definitely be posting pictures if we go.




This has been a crazy week so far. I teach 4th and 5th grade, and my students took their first TAKS test for the year yesterday! I hope they did okay. I actually had a few who were still working on their test after 5:00PM. My last one finished at 6:00! It is crazy!!!! I find out in two weeks how my 5th graders did, but have to wait until May to find out about 4th.




I have also started back to college to get my master's degree in counseling. I have done well in my two classes so far, but they are starting to kick my butt a little!




My birthday is tomorrow, so Sarah, Mitzi, and I went out to eat last night for it! That was by far the highlight of my week! I LOVE our girls' nights! I am so glad we started doing that. We are also going to get together for a mom and daughter pedicure date! Can't wait!!! Jenna is going to love it. She is such a girly girl!




Well, I'm not promising a new post everyday, but as soon as I can! Enjoy our blog!
