Catch Up! Volume 3 - My Classroom

I am so blessed to have a wonderful family who supports me! The whole West crew and Mom drove from Snyder and meet me and Keaton at Santo to put my classroom back together after the summer cleaning. They were all so helpful! Jason, Jaxon, and Jaden moved furniture, boxes, unloaded boxes, and hooked up computers. Jami and Mom unpacked boxes and put things where they belong. Then the next day Jason, Jaden, Jaxon, and Joey played golf and Mom, Keaton, and I went back to school for the fun part - decorating the classroom!

My little helper - He actually started really crawling the day we spend at school.  I said it was the first success of the 2011-12 school year.  He loved this pointer and that was what he crawled to get.

Jami's amazing work painting the glass doors!

Thanks to all my help I am ready to blast off to another great school year!

Catch Up! Volume 2 - Keaton and Kynlee

One one of our trips to Snyder this summer, I can't remember which.  Kendall and Kynlee came over to visit and play.  Keaton is about two weeks older than Kynlee and they both are learning so much about education and schools as Kendall and I started our Master's at ACU at the same time and are in the same classes.  Both kids really like to help their mom's out on the computer and reading the textbooks, but this wasn't a study time get together, it was play time. The highlight of their playdate was a ride in the wagon.  Aren't the precious!





Catch Up! Volume 1 - Roberts Weekend

I can't believe it has been so long since I have posted.  So much has happened that I had to stop and think what I need to post first. The weekend of July 15-17 we spend the weekend in Snyder for the Roberts' family summer weekend.  The past few summers we have all gotten together one weekend of the summer and this year it worked out for us all to go to Snyder and hang out at the West's home.  Thanks to Jason, Jami, Jaden and Jaxon for being wonderful hosts!

Jaden and Jaxon got out some toys that they thought Keaton would enjoy playing with!

After church, we posed for family pictures.


The Boys - Jaden, Cody, Keaton, and Jaxon


We were trying to get a picture of the 3 siblings and their children.  Although it was not what we were going for this picture looks like one where the photographer told everyone to make a silly face or to do whatever.
