This weekend we headed to Norman, Oklahoma for my cousin Stacy's wedding to her long time boyfriend Tremayne. We had a great time and the wedding was just perfect. I loved seeing my baby cousin all grown up. I'm so proud of her and I think she make a great choice with Tremayne. He's the nicest guy!
Some of my favorite guys! My cousin Brad and brothers Austin, Cody, Colt and of course Carter.
Ausitn and Colt getting relaxed!
Then at the reception Abby decided to start WALKING! Yep, she has never taken more that one wobbly step and that night she took off! I don't know if it was all the sugar or what, but she was off!
Monday we went swimming at the rec center and Tuesday I had my first FISD training and so Ashley and Owen came to hang out with Abby and Carter.
Wednesday we went and saw Madagascar 3
Later that day we went to colt's basketball game. Abby loved walking around holding Pops' hand. She only wanted to hold his hand!
Colt with his biggest fans
Thursday we had to pick Colt up from basketball, so we hung out at their house and then went swimming.
While we were there the electricity in the whole neigborhood went out and we were locked in the pool area for almost an hour!
Abby hanging out with Chloe after swim time.
Friday I had kunch with ny new team at Chuys and Carter went with Colt and Austin to Gatti Town. That night Kris was playing poker so Carter and I had movie night. Carter chose Home Alone 2 to watch and we popped popcorn. I loved listening to him laugh during the movie.
It was a fun week and nice because it wasn't quite as busy as our other weeks have been!
I've been saying for some time that I think Abby might be a leftie. I know technically it's too early to tell, but at this point she is definatly dominate with her left hand. When she crawls, she uses her right hand to "scoot" so that her left hand it avaliavble to pick things up with, throw etc. When I give her a fork, she generally uses her left hand, and today, when I gave her crayons for the first time, she mostly used her left hand. Only time will tell, but I think it will be neat if she's a leftie like my dad!
If all esle fails, use both hands!
Kris' parents came in town for the weekend and we got to take theboat out for the first time. Everyone had a balst! Abby loved everything except her lifejacket!
Carter loves swimming in the lake.....I'm not such a huge fan of it....I don't like when I can't see my feet! Funny story, Kris kept pinching me leg and saying it was just a nibble from a fish. A little while later, Carter pinches Kris and says, "it's just a nipple." Took us a few minutes to realize what he was trying to say, haha!
Taking a drink while they swim. She was happy to have the lifejacket off!
Tubing time!
Um, we're sinking!! Whoops, someone accidely knocked the plug loose! Before Meemae got on, she said, "I don't want to get very wet." That didn't work out very well for her!
Helping daddy drive
We headed in because a storm was coming!
So tired from a day on the lake!
Ready for day 2 on the lake with his new monkey
Fun without a life jacket before we got going
Abby and Aunt Kristen....a lifejacket isn't too bad if you have a sucker!

Nap on the boat
Wild ride!
New lake chair
We are looking forward to many more fun weekends on the lake!
Hi there! I am beginning my eleventh year of teaching this year and I am excited about starting it at Smith Elementary! I have experience teaching 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th gades as well as working as a Dyslexia teacher. I love teaching and desire my students to love to learn and to walk away from my room with great number sense!
When I'm not teaching I love spending time with my hudband of ten years, Kris and our two awesome kids, Carter who it 5 and Abby who turned one in April. I also have 2 fur baby beagles, Wrigley and Fenway. I love to take pictures, shop, be outside and am happiest when I am with my family and friends. It's going to be a great year!
My husband Kris and I met in college at The University of Texas and dated for 3 years before we were married on July 27, 2002. On May 3, 2007 we welcomed our precious baby boy Carter Jackson and on April 14, 2011 we welcomed Carter's little sister, Abigail Paige. Kris got his MBA at SMU and works as a project manager and I stay home with the kiddos living my dream. We have 2 beagles named Wrigley and Fenway and couldn't be happier with our little family. We hope you enjoy a peek into our day to day life!
