Coloring

Isa loves to sit down and color. She is getting pretty good at sitting down with us and doing it. Towards the end she decides she wants to dump all the crayons but it is not until she gets up and tries to color on the coffee table that it is time to clean up. : )

Hook Em'

So this is the third game of the season, but for one reason or another we have not been able to get together for a family picture in all of our gear. So today before our good friends Jessica and Jamie left we had them snap a few. Our little longhorn has grown up so much! The first pick is from last season you can compare the difference. Wow!

The Park

Now that it is not over a hundred degrees we have been taking Isa to the park that is down the street from our house. She loves being outside so this is a real treat for her. The park is very accessible to her she can walk up the ramps and slide down all the slides. She has a blast. She even loves just sitting in the rocks and playing with them in her hands. You have to watch her though because she will try and sneak on into her mouth.

Check out the pictures of one of our trips!

Isa's new chair

Isabella loves to sit on things so, when we came across this beanbag on a trip to Target we decided to try it out. She loves watching her Backyardigans from this chair.

Labor Day Weekend

Labor day weekend we went to Brownsville to celebrate Ed's Mom's birthday. We took another trip to the beach with Isa. She enjoyed it for a bit but quickly got sleepy and crashed on the sand. It was so cute! Check out link below:

First day of school!

Well this was not Isa's first day, but this was her first day to wear a uniform and the first day for Daddy to fix her hair in the morning. I thought she looked really cute. Ed was not proud of his hair do, but I thought it was pretty good for someone who has never done ponytails before.

It was my first day of school and Ed wanted to snap my picture before I walked out the door. Check out my new lunch bag!

Last Day of summer!!

The last week I had off before school Isa and I went to the pool. All summer we had been going, but it had been a while since we had been. Previously she loved playing in the water. This time she lept pointing to something out of the water. I finally gave in and took her out. I set her down and she walked back to the loung chair and proceeded to climb in to the seat. The entire time we were there all she wanted to do was sit, eat cheerios and watch all the people swiming. If I tried to pick her up to take her back to the pool she would proceed to pitch a fit. So I indulged her and we sat and watched. Every once in a while she would giggle and smile. I guess she saw something that she thought was funny. She is definetly my daughter! I love to people watch also!

It's been a long time!!!

I know I know most of you have probably stopped checking to see if I have updated the blog. The first week in Aug. we went to New Orleans to visit lots of family and as soon as we got back things got crazy with me going back to work. It has been a rough transition for all of us. I still feel like I am far behind. I moved classrooms at the end of last year and I did not get to get in there and unpack things until the week before students were to return. After that things just spiraled.

I have a super awesome class this year, I am back to teaching inclusion(a mix of special ed students with general ed students). It is definitely my passion. I am also enjoying that I am getting to work with some scores kids(students with Autism and Aspergers). Although, this has made for a very needy class and working late hours. It is ok, it is more refreshing than what I had to deal with last year.

Ok enough of the excuses, before I fell off the bandwagon, I edited some pictures from our trip to New Orleans. I just never got around to posting them. We had an awesome trip. Isa got to try her first beignets and we had a nice vist with lots of family. Check out the link below for the pics.
