Sisters!!! My Beautiful girls! I am truly blessed!

Frustrating Times

I know its has again been a long time. I am sitting in class at the moment and I am not very focused, (although I really should be). I have been seeking a teaching job for about a month now, and it has been very unfruitful! I am in a graduate program with nothing but teachers, and all they talk about is how jobs come open at the last minute all the time. So this only adds to my frustration. My husband is really tired of hearing me complain, so all of you readers are going to have the opportunity (should you choose to continue reading this) to hear me whine. I have worked really hard this summer on my alternative certification passing both my tests and sending in resumes to 15 different schools, and nothing. I go at the end of this month for the interview to get my "official" alternative certification. Oh well I guess I will just substitute for now, and continue to look for a certified position. On a lighter note in 5 hours from now I will have completed 18 hours (meaning I am halfway done) of my mater's degree and I still have a 4.0!! WAHOOO!
Jamison has a big birthday coming up too! I cannot believe a year has almost gone by! And my precious Haylee starts school on Thursday! KINDERGARTEN!!!! I cannot believe it! She has grown up sooo fast. We went to Branson last weekend and while we there Jamison got her first tooth!!! FINALLY! But it was not fun! She had been exploding in her diaper for about a week and very cranky, but it is here! That's about it for now. I will definitely be posting pictures soon to show off the tooth and my kindergartner!

BIRTHDAY BOY!!!!

It has been a VERY long time!!!










Hello there all you blog readers! Sorry I told you all I was terrible at keeping this sort of thing up to date!!!! But here is a little of what has been going on. Haylee successfully completed Preschool and soccer. Jamison is now 9 months old and so very cute. She is saying DADDA but not MOMMA!!!! She will say it every once in a while!! She is also crawling like a speed racer!! She is sooo fast! She will follow Bryson (who is walking now!!) everywhere he goes. And she wants to be wherever Haylee is! Haylee is okay with it for a while and then she gets kinda irritated at Jamison taking all of her toys away just to chew on them! Bryson is one which if you read Mandy's Blog you know! He is sooo precious Happy Birthday B-man! I was laid off from my job in late May, and was enjoying hanging out with the girls. But I am now working part time at Mandy's work in a different department. I am still working on the teaching thing. There are sooo many hoops to jump through to go through the alternative route! I am also half way through with my Masters Degree. I cannot believe Haylee is going to start Kindergarten in August!! Crazy! But we are just enjoying the summer, and hanging out! Here are some pictures I actually have a lot of new ones BUT they are on my memory card and I have not gone to get them on a CD! So here are some newer ones than what are already on the blog!!!

Hooray Haylee!!!



Well I have to brag! My little Haylee had to make a vegetable person for a school project and it was a contest. Well Haylee won first place!!! She was so excited. She got a Mr. potato set and she was on cloud nine! Her dad picked her up from school and she had to call me right away! She was so proud of herself and we were too! Her a few picture with her veggie person!

Jamison is 6 Months Today!!!


Wow!!! I cannot believe it has been six months since Jamison entered our lives!!! She is spending her birthday with her best buddy and cousin Bryson, her Nana, and her sister Haylee! She has an ear infection right now but she is getting better! We have not had the official go ahead from the doctor to start feeding her cereal, but I went ahead and did! She loves it! Of course she has been mooching off Bryson for about a month with his food! But now she gets her own! She is growing up sooo fast!!
