Gift to the Parents in my class

Love this kids with all my heart! There is never a dull moment with NINE 2 year olds!

Sometimes you get discouraged,

Because I am so small,

And always leave my fingerprints,

On furniture and walls.

But every day I’m growing,

I’ll be grown up someday,

And all those tiny handprints,

Will surely fade away.

So here’s a final handprint,

Just so you can recall,

Exactly how my fingers looked,

When I was very small.

So I'm going to but their hand prints next to this poem, a photo of them under and frame it. My school is not allowed to celebrate Christmas or give gifts but I think of how proud I was as a child when I made a gift for my parents at school. So I'm making it happen and thank God the Director just left on vacation. :) Hope they LOVE it!!!

Love this little Girl!

My kiddos in the evening!

Stamps and fun!

HAIR CUT TIME

So today Ryan and I set out to get his hair cut.

Of course we started out at 5 O'clock.

We went to two neighboring hair cut places, one was about to close and was going to be $35 and the other girl wanted to charge $55.

Ugh F that!!

Seriously to cut a guys hair $55, I've never even payed more than $14 to cut my hair.

So we decided late this evening that I was going to cut Ryan's hair.

We had a pair of school scissors and a brush.

We debated using the fun zig zag scrap booking scissors. hahaha!

I'm pretty sure most use a comb and special scissors.

I've always enjoyed Ry's long hair and I love it in a ponytail but yesterday Ryan bought a suit and when he put it on he looked like a million dollars.

But it really hit home that the hair had to go.

It started out uber long - longest its ever been

And CHOP!! We debated shaving it and donating it. But I'm not sure if I could handle that drastic of a change.

The Final Hair Doo!!

And then we started to try and find a new style, we landed on this one!

Just Kidding!

Forgot to take a picture of the emo one with his bangs covering one eye.

I love you Babe, and thanks for trusting me with a pair a scissors in your face.

P.S. Think I missed my calling in the hair department!

I Love IT!

My little Inter-Racial couple!

This Picture is priceless!

PS. They are two and I did not set them up for this photo!

Happy 7 Year Anniversary!

On Halloween Ry and I celebrated 7 years together.

We spent the night at my besties in Capitola and then spent the next day in Monterey.

Enjoying one of our favorites, clam chowder in a bread bowl.

Sometimes I cant believe how long we have been together but the truth is I've loved every second of it.

I love that we finally live together again and get to end the day and wake up next to each other.

We will see where the wind takes us in the marriage department... Teehee!!

A feel good thing

So this evening Ryan's little sister Nicki called me because for school she needed to interview someone in her family, and she picked me!

Wow can you even believe it!

I trumped all three brothers. Jay, Just and even RY!

And I had a hard time not rubbing it in Ry's face.

So Nicki asked me around nine questions and the one that I hard the hardest time answer was, when was a time that you were really proud of yourself.

And the truth is I never really stopped to think about what I've done that makes me proud of myself but yet I know that I am proud of myself for many things.

I ended up telling her the day I got my full time job, because it was the first thing that I truly felt I got all on my own with no ones help. And that made me proud.

But it was kind of crazy that I actually had to think about what I was proud of myself for and that I didn't have an instant answer.

It really touched my heart to be picked for Nicki's Family interview and the truth is I'm so very blessed to be part of the Andrade family.

Not officially with a ring or something but from date one they welcomed me with smiles and open arms.

They are so loving and I could not have asked for better inlaws! :)

Side note my first memory of meeting Nicki was when Ry and I went the Winter Ball, Nicki put on her prettiest dress and came done from her room to take pictures with us.

I love you Nicki from the bottom of my heart and soul!

I'm so lucky that you consider me your sister and part of your family.

Party in the bathtub up in Tahoe

Tesching Nicki to have a Wild side!

Big Hugs!

Tub time!

So I've been on a search of tub pictures for my bathroom and came across this one!

Could he be any cuter?!

Can't wait to have a little Ry/K sometime.

Well...I can wait but I'm just excited to see what they will look like.

Kids say the best stuff

Today one little girl said, "K farted, I heard it."

I just about dies laughing.

I love that my class is starting to talk more and they are starting to notice farts.

hahaha!

Guess I can't fart and blame it on little kids anymore! jk!

Oh and did I mention that I taught another little girl to say, "butt cream"

OOPS!!!

Not sure if I should be a teacher, kids are like sponges that soak it all in and repeat it all!!
