It's Official...

I just got the "official" call that I have my permanent job back next year! I get to go and resign my contract on Monday. Hallelujah!

The only thing is there will be a lot of teachers moving schools next year because of everything going on, so there are no guarantees I will be at my same school. The district is still undecided on how to pick every one's schools. So we'll see, fingers crossed!

Thankful Thursday

1. More friends of mine are finally turning 30! Happy Birthday Stace! It was so good to celebrate with you and see wonderful high school friends.

2. Kid-power. Can't wait to be done with school, but glad they're still here to help me pack up my room. Kids just love to be helpers.

3. Wipeout! We had friends over last night that introduced us to the TV show, Wipeout. I don't know if I could watch it regularly, but it is definitely a good laugh if you need one!

My new toy!

Mama can already hear me singing my ABCs in my head!

Although I'm thinking the makers of this cube must be men? Because both the C & N have pictures of fish and the C says carp and the N says norwhal. What in the world is a norwhal? Not a cat or a nut?

And check out my crawl!
(But more importantly, check out my At Home outfit, lol!)

Happy 7 Months!


I don't know why this month seems particularly hard for me? I guess it's because 7 months is SO much closer to one year than newborn. Jackson's just such a sweet, fun-loving boy now!


And I couldn't resist buying this Cupcake Pan from Williams-Sonoma for his upcoming first birthday! I made it last night with the vanilla cupcake recipe it came with and it sure looks good. Can't wait until Jackson's smashing it with whatever cake recipe I decide to make him for his first birthday!

Thankful Thursday

1. Only 9 more days of school. My class is done, I am done, we all need a break.

2. Our new vegetable boxes! Donnie did such a great job on them and I'm so excited to plant in them this weekend.

3. Chef's Market season has started. We missed last week's opening celebration, but we're going tonight to check it out.

Jackson vs. Cookie Monster

The last time Jackson met Cookie Monster,

Cookie Monster played dead and freaked Jackson out!

But this time he's a little older and wiser!

"Oh, hi Cookie Monster, I remember you!"

Cookie Monster bows, "hello!"

The stare-off.

And Jackson goes for the left-hook!

"Ha ha, I told you I remembered you!"

Wonderful Sunday

What a wonderful Sunday! I met Cheryl in downtown Walnut Creek and finally got to meet her adorable Eli! Eli is 3 months younger than Jackson and they are bound to be great friends. They even have a play date set this summer for the zoo.

It was so great to be out shopping like the ole days. Seriously, after about an hour of shopping, we kind of wondered how we could have shopped for so long in the past! We stopped at the Nordstrom's Cafe for lunch and Jackson sat in his first highchair. How nice it was to be able to eat my sandwich without him in my lap grabbing for it the whole time. Next time I'll have to be prepared with a banana for him to eat. (He had one on Saturday, I'll post pics tonight!)

One of the great parts was walking into the Bare Essentials (makeup) store and there was nobody else in the store except for 5 bored workers! So, we got a little bit of our makeup done while the other girls ooohed and ahhed over the babies. One of the girls was pregnant, we asked her what she was having and she said, "I don't know, I stopped listening after they said twins!" Haha, I couldn't even imagine!
