I don't have a theme for the pics...they are pretty random from the last 2 weeks. We went to Birmingham last weekend for Lily's family birthday party. We left after cheerleading tryouts (All of my girls made it and I have 7 new ones to get to know, so I am really excited about the year!) Anderson slept the way there and was pretty great on the way home, too! Brandon took this picture of him in his car seat on the way home.
He was more awake at this party than the last one...
We also went to Noah's lacrosse game-he was the goalie and was, of course, awesome. I think he was the only player who had his entire family there to cheer him on.
I just like Lily in this hat.
Please look at the chubby face in the pink hat cheesing it up in the middle of the crowd.
Speaking of chubby, here comes a birthday cupcake!
So proud. When is it that we stop getting rewarded for eating sugar and making a mess?
yes, that is my 3 month old in Big Cousin Noah's lacrosse stick (net? what is that part called? I should know this.) Kyler & Noah are going to teach him to play as soon as he can walk, but Noah is trying to get a head start.
I love my job. So, last week I was having a terrible day-Anderson had been up all night, I was behind on grading, I was teaching imperialism (not my favorite), I just found out we are losing more teachers & our tiny raises for next year because our superintendent has missed the point that education can only make a difference if you have people who make a difference...but, I digress, I was just frustrated. Then, one of my students gave me this shirt she made for me because she knew I liked Teddy Roosevelt so much. (Imperialism is right after Progressivism, which means I talked about Teddy nonstop for the few days prior-so, so much to say.) Anyway, it was really fun and reminded me that my job is pretty awesome. In what other profession do you have tshirts made for you by a teenager? There are a lot of things I love about teaching, but getting a tshirt from a student is up there.
Speaking of tshirts, this is the one my AP US Class designed this semester. This is hilarious if you know the background....Thomas Paine (pictured above) wrote
Common Sense in Jan. 1776, which was after the American Revolution had started (April 75), but before the Declaration of Independence was written (July 76). In it, he basically inspired the colonists to declare independence, which of course led to America! So, NO (thomas)Paine, NO Gain (of America)....Excellent. I love being the Queen of the Nerds.

well there was someone else smiling at the camera that is fat... UGH....Thank you Melissa for putting me on the blog.
ReplyDeleteOkay, the picture of Anderson in the lacross net is awesome! And the new AP shirt rocks- those nerds do have a good sense of humor! I wonder what the shirt would say if it were made by my Fundies?
ReplyDeleteI love that first pic of his eyes. And the lacrosse net will be a favorite forever. The chubby hat girl is pretty cheesing. As you said, "I think she has discovered attention."
ReplyDeleteI just have to say that you and your sister are probably the most awesome teachers, ever!! I am going to have to convince Brad to move to Knoxvlle so Nicole can teach Molly when she is in 7th grade (i think that's what she teaches?) and then we can move where you are for high school! I mean really, y'all should make $200,000 yr for the awesome job you obviously do. Those kids are so lucky to have y'all in their lives. All I remember about my history teacher was crazy red old lady hair and the dreams I had in her class b/c I slept through the whole thing! Anyways, Anderson is so freaking adorable, I just want to hug the computer screen when I see pics of him!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lindsey. we'll all move to Alabama for 7th grade and then Knoxville for high school! A good teacher is like a good Doctor, they both greatly affect your future! I can't wait to see you this weekend!!
