Brotherly love

It is amazing to watch Devan and Grady grow up. They are really learning to love one another and I believe they are well on their way to becoming best friends.

I love how Grady has to be like big brother!

Their other toys just don't compare to their all time favorite movie: CARS!

Notice how even their feet are crossed the same! So cute. 

Team Lead

It's official! I am the new Team Lead for 4th grade! I am super excited about the opportunity to lead others to help children be successful. I have been blessed, though. God has placed me with a group of ladies that share the same vision and philosophy of children that I do. I am glad to be a part of what they do. My job is pretty simple, be the liaison between my campus principal and my team. There are many things that almost on a daily basis I keep thinking, Oh I am in charge of that! I know that it will be a team effort to keep the ball rolling on our path to success. 


I thank God for the challenge this year. I was recently telling Brandon that with this being my 6th year teaching (I still can't believe it has been that long), that I needed to do something different this year. Not sit back and just "teach". I started asking myself, where do I want to take my career? Is there a field I want to pursue as a specialty? Well, the Lord provided an answer for the here and now, Team Lead. I think that this will be a good insight into some "behind the scenes" of how a school works. 


This is an exciting time for me. I know that this is going to be a great year. I pray for all the ladies on my team and that we set out to accomplish our goals this year!

Fire truck!

Our good friend's husband is a firefighter and sells fire trucks part time. Therefore, he drives home a fire truck from time to time. Last night Devan was surprised when they came to the door and gave us a ride. He was thrilled and I know it will be a lasting memory!!!

Here they come!

Looking around at all the cool things.

Devan rode in my lap the whole time looking out the window.

Our good friend Sara and Grady.

The whole family.

They loved sitting on the front.

Devan liked climbing the ladder.
