Loving being a sports' mom

Sam is loving football this year! He is playing 5th/6th grade youth football and his team the Cowboys, is undefeated. I am having fun watching and trying to learn a little more about the game. He plays tackle on both the offense and defense.

Ellie is on the Austin Packer High School B-squad volleyball team. She has been having an exciting season of some wins and some losses. This week is homecoming week for our High School so we hope for a win at Thursday's game.

What the first day of school was almost a month ago????

Ellie started 9th grade- yes her first year of high school and Sam is back at IJ Holten Intermediate school for 6th grade. I am happy to say we are almost a month into school and everyone is happy with school! I am back at Woodson Kindergarten Center teaching special education and I love that I am back there for another year!

Happy Birthday To You!

Sam had fun ice skating with friends on his BD!

Ellie had a popcorn themed party. Here she is with popcorn cupcakes made by her dad and her other treats. She and her friends hung out and had an outdoor movie set up in our backyard.

National Honor Society

Ellie was lucky to be a part of the National Junior Honor Society. Here she is reading about one of the pillars of the society as new members were welcomed in. At this same celebration Ellie got an award for her grades during this past year. Ellie is a self-driven girl that continues to amaze me. Can't believe she is next off to high school!

Last Day of School

I can't believe it actually has already been a few weeks since the last day of school. I am finally working on the blog and have some spring photos and videos to post. We are now enjoying little free time along with summer time sports.
