About Me

My photo
Mysteries, polka dots, California Rolls, TJ Maxx, cozy blankets, rainy days and getting the first spoonful of peanut butter out of the jar make me smile. Spiders, rude people, cold fingers and toes, baby leashes, people that don't wrap their packages before going to the Post Office, poison ivy and Math (pretty much all of it) make me want to scream. My perfect day would be spent with my wonderful husband and sweet girls- watching movies in our jammies! Of course, having the movie theater to ourselves would be great, too. Please pass the popcorn and M&M's.:) I am saved by the grace of God. He is my constant companion and hears my every prayer. What a blessing! I'd love to hear from you!

Spelling Bee

   Yesterday, Katie participated in her first Spelling Bee.  I think I was more nervous than she was.  (Racing heart beat- check, sweaty hands- check)  She ended up winning first place in her age group!  I was so proud of her!:)

My Brittany won her spelling bee yesterday too! I know exactly what you mean and now I almost wish she hadn't because we have to do it again at district level. I may have an actual heart attack!

That is so cool! What a little smarty! Who needs spell check when you live with a spelling bee champ?

WAY TO GO KATIE!

I know what you mean about being so nervous when you are watching them. When Tyler was singing on stage alone with the entire school and their families watching....I don't think I took a breath. Thanks for sharing her accomplishment with us!!!
