Odds, Inns, and Giveaways!!

**Warning: this is the longest post I have ever done**

We have had a lot going on in our crazy life.  Last night (Friday) was graduation, I work at the local high school and many of my students were graduating, and it was a really formal and awesome ceremony!! We woke up today planning on playing baseball and going to Ty's (Fallon and Kale's really good friend) birthday party.  But since we have had rain everyday this month but one day, again our baseball game has been postponed.  But rain or shine we were having Ty's 3rd birthday bash at the park.  Here are a few pictures from the party...

Fallon riding cool on the way to the party.

Kale and Ty blowing up balloons

Dad and Fallon eating cupcakes

Fallon smeared the icing all over her face!!

Ty and Fallon heading toward the water to play

Looking at all the pictures you really couldn't tell whether it was Ty's or Fallon's party. She was right in the middle of it all!!

Kale drinking his juice and being such a big boy!!

Ty got this four-wheeler for his birthday and he took Fallon for a ride!

Ever since I started working in the high school I have started reading more books!! The two principals that I work for are very strict on reading and even have a whole period in the day for the students to just read.  On this website, this wonderful lady is giving away a copy of this book, and since I really love to read I would really love to win this one to add to my collection of books!!





Also, we know we are planning to start building our house in 3 years so we have started "preparing to sell" our house that we have now.  The head principal at the school Paul and I work at used to have a landscaping business before he got into education and we asked him to come help us with ours and he did, so we have started the transformation today.  We are basically digging everything up, moving a couple of bushes and taking flower beds out all together and adding a few new things!! I am really excited.


This flower bed is going to be taken out and we are going to plant grass here.


This also will be taken out and grass planted, and the front (the one part I don't have a picture of yet) will have the new plants and the moved plants!!  I will keep updated and show the finished product!!



***This is my 99th post so keep checking to see what I figure out to do for my 100th post!!!***

Looks like you guys had a great time at the party. Alyssa does the same thing at parties. She's always over there trying to help people open their presents and I have to tell her to let the birthday boy/girl open their own presents, LOL.

Glad you're able to start on your landscaping project. I was so glad when we put our new grass in. Redoing the landscaping makes such a difference!
