Happy 1st Birthday Nuggets!

 Today is a special day! Today is William and Luke's 1st birthday!  This year has gone by so fast and I cannot believe they are already one!  I have been babysitting these sweet boys since they came home from the hospital.  They decided to enter the world a little early, so I met them while they were still in the hospital.

 

 My babysitting duties began when William came home from the Hospital.  Luke joined us a few weeks later and I had the blessing of watching these two grow so much this year.

 

Yesterday, we celebrated with a Breakfast Taco birthday party! 

The party was a success and the boys had a great time! I cannot believe they are already 1 and I can't wait for summer break when I get to spend more time with them!

Happy Birthday William and Luke!

My New Addictions

So I have found a new love for reading! I have NEVER been a big reader, even though I am a reading teacher.  In the past 3 weeks, I have managed to read 2 books and that is HUGE for me! I loved both of them and couldn't put either of them down.  I spent multiple days just reading and reading!

Book 1 - The Hunger Games

I had heard nothing but great things about this book from my friends and from my students.  I finally got around to reading it and I LOVED every second of it! I cant wait to read the 2nd and 3rd one.  I love that this book can be enjoyed by boys, girls, young teens, and adults.  It is definitely addicting!

Book 2 - Divergent

Oh man! This book was amazing and I almost think I liked it better than The Hunger Games. It was a great mix of adventure and romance! I literally read this in 3 days or so.  I could not put it down! It had many unexpected moments, never would have guessed the ending!  I could read it over and over again! 

I HIGHLY suggest both of these books!  Can't wait to see what I read next!

Happy Easter

Thanks to no snow days this year, we were lucky enough to have a 4 day weekend.  We had Good Friday and Great Monday off this year, so I had plenty of time to go out of town as well as get some great relaxation time at home.  Thursday, we left for Chris' ranch in Watervalley, Tx.

We stopped on our way at Perini Ranch Steakhouse and it was AMAZING! 

After our delicious meal, we finally made it out to the ranch.  We enjoyed some great weather, great food and a great get-a-way!

Austin and I drove back Saturday afternoon and enjoyed a great Easter Sunday with his family.  We luckily finished our Easter Egg Hunt before the rain came.

 And a little time playing in the mud! :)

Great Easter holiday! Sad its over, but thankful we only have 37 more days of school until summer break!
