Meet the Teacher 2011-2012

On Thursday night we got to go to 'Meet the Teacher' at the girls' schools.

We started at the Elementary since the times were from 6:15-7:00pm. I have learned to get in line to put money in the lunch account and buy T-shirts before going to the classroom because the later it gets the longer the line for these two things. I also decided to get a picture with their teacher at this time too since the first day is so crazy and Kaylee has 3 teachers this year. Ugh! My babies are growing up and time just seems to be going by faster and faster.

Here is Campbell with her teacher Mrs. J. We feel so blessed to have her since everyone I know thinks she is amazing! I loved the way she bent down to talk to Campbell a little and put her at ease right away. Let me just tell you she scored big points with Campbell because all she has talked about since is how she cannot wait for school on Monday. That is music to a Mom's ears.

Next up was a trip to the Intermediate Campus to meet all three of Kaylee's teachers. What has happened to my little girl? She was so excited to see what her teacher and classroom were like. She has several boys that she is friends with in her homeroom but no other girls. I assured her that after the first day she would know them all. Kaylee loves people and has such a sweet heart, how could they not love her right away?

This is her homeroom teacher Mrs. S.

Here is another one of her teachers, who also happens to have a last name starting with S.

And last but certainly not least Mrs. W.

I know that both of our girls have an amazing year ahead thanks to each of these sweet ladies. Thank you Lord for placing them right where they need to be once again.

Mother/ Daughter Night

A few weeks ago we went to a Mother/Daughter Night and had so much fun. Kaylee was not too sure about getting all fixed up and walking the runway but Campbell was excited enough for both of them.

Upon arrival we were given a Shirley Temple (aka sprite w/cherry grenadine and a cherry) in a champagne glass. Both girls thought this was the best drink ever, I am sure the glass made all the difference. The next step was getting in line for a manicure and new hairstyle.

Kaylee decided to get her nails done first and of course picked what I referred to as Smurf blue.

Campbell in the meantime was getting her hair straightened. It looked so odd to see her with straight hair for a change. I was a little worried she would like it and want me to try to straighten it from now on for school. That was not the case though, she could not wait to get her hair wet the next day in the pool so her curls would return.

When it was Kaylee's turn they decided to curl her hair. Kaylee declared it opposite day because of this since her hair is naturally straight. I also thought it was funny to see her with all those curls. Unfortunately by the time we got home they were almost gone because her hair is so thick it just will not hold curl very long.

Here is Campbell posing with all her bling before walking the runway. The picture below shows Campbell walking the runway with some of her sweet friends. Of course, Kaylee had no interest in walking the runway but she did have a good time she said.

I love my girls and the opportunity to spend a little time with them doing fun things.

Rancho Loma Fun!

At the beginning of the month we got to make a trip to our favorite restaurant Rancho Loma to celebrate a sweet friend's birthday. The place is fabulous but unfortunately it also has the prices to go with it so we cannot go there as often as I would like.

There were 22 of us total and we had a blast. I do not think Cary or I had laughed so hard in a long time. Of course as usual we ended up sitting with a guys and girls table so the conversations were plentiful. The laughter did not stop all night long. I am so thankful for these friends and the friendships we have with each one of them. We are truly BLESSED.

Here are my sweet girlfriends!
