Abbie's Baby Shower

My mom and I threw a Baby Shower for Abbie Meinen last Saturday. It was really fun and I needed to add some pictures to the blog so that Abbie's sister, Meghan, could see the shower from Italy. Lucky girl! So, here you go Meghan...we missed you!

Here is the cute punch with the duckies floating! HAHA I made duck and bottle sugar cookies for party favors! They were pretty cute...if I do say so myself! :)

One of the games was Name the Baby, you had to use the letters in Abbie & Jamie Meinen to name the baby. Some of the names were Bam Jam, Ben, and my mom's, Jemima! She thought she was hysterical! HAHA

The "cheesy" cake! :) Mary Beth was not thrilled with the look of the cake, but Jenna loved the baby on it! :) It was yummy!

Meghan wrote a nice letter to Abbie and gave her a lamp from her room for the baby. It was very nice...here is Abbie reading the letter and gazing up at the lamp!

Jenna was a guest at the shower and she was lots of fun! We are friends!

The dynamic duo! HAHA Life just wouldn't be the same without these two making us all laugh! We love you!

We are super excited for Abbie, Jamie, and Baby Meinen. We know they are going to be great parents. Thanks for letting us honor you with a shower, Abbie! :)

Enjoying Saturday!

I do not know how to move pictures around my post's. So here they are...read below for more info. Us on this beautiful Saturday morning. I am ready for the game in my orange.
A cool bulletin board that I made! It is so bright and cheery!
Dr. Seuss Cafe! I made the door signs.

Reading to a classmate!

We were a little nervous about my summer school job because after sending in my summer school plans I never heard back from the Principal. Well, today I got my official letter from the School Board. So, first of all, I feel good that the school board had to approve me. Second of all, I sent three options of classes that I would teach; Sports, Games and Fun, Cultural Arts and Crafts, and What's Cooking? AND that classes I am teaching are................Cultural Arts and Crafts and What's Cooking? CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?! One of my dreams has always been to have a kids camp for cooking. It is coming true and I am walking on clouds right now. WOOHOO
Now, we need to find Kyle a job for the summer and we will be set, well not really since I will still be looking for a full time job but for summer...set.

Today we are going to watch my brother Josh in the sectional final boy's basketball game. Cedar Grove is making history again with their sports. It is really fun...I love high school sports! GO ROCKETS!

I wanted to post some pictures but the only pictures that I currently have are from my classroom. So I will post some pictures of Dr. Seuss Cafe. I was really a great time and the students practiced writing short, descriptive summaries and reading aloud to their classmates. They also practiced being polite....they need help in this area. :)

Happy Birthday!

Happy 25 Beth! Have a wonderful day! We hope year 25 is as great as year 24 was!!! We love you and are blessed by your presence in our life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
