Last Monday school day of the year!

Today was my last Monday of this school year. Instead of working on the million things I have to get done this week, I'm putting up a few pictures on my blog. That makes sense, right? We have one more day of regular schedule, followed by three days of finals, Graduation Friday night and then Staff Development Saturday - yes Saturday - and then it's summer time!!! Woo hoo!!!

Emily sent me these pictures the other day and they just crack me up. He's so goofy! Wyatt is in to everything he can possibly get in to! And Emily said he's climbing on all sorts of things. He's so funny. This kid seriously cracks me up...and if you know anything about my laugh you know it's not quiet. When I get to laughing, he just stares and looks at me like - what the heck is wrong with you crazy lady?



I have been the world's worst picture-taker lately. This is the one and only picture I have of James and me...this was Saturday evening at Minute Maid Park just before the start of the Astros game...I think James may have been mid-chew - oops! But I was glad he at least sat still for a picture and didn't object!

Summer's a-comin'

Here's what the Honda read as I left school today:


98 degrees already? Yikes! Summer is definitely just around the corner.

Baby shower for baby Rivers

On Sunday May 2nd some friends of mine and I hosted a baby shower for our friend Erin W. Erin and her husband are expecting their first baby at the end of May. Erin has chosen green and brown as the colors for the nursery as well as the stroller, high chair, swing, etc. so we used the same color theme for the shower. Check out this banner that Erin S. made for the shower! I kind of want one for my house!

Here's the food spread...or what was left of it. The punch was delicious, and as you can see it was gone. We did a sugar and spice theme - for the spice we had different types of salsa (and chips). And for the sugar Tiffany had cupcake balls and cupcakes made as well as...

...a candy bar! B put together this fabulous candy bar that had all sorts of green and brown candy! Yummmm chocolate :)

Here's a picture of some of the fabulous women I teach with at Consol!

Wyatt's scruchy face

This is one of my favorite faces Wyatt makes! When he's in the sun he scrunches up his little nose. It's so cute!

Startin' early

I would say like father like son, but Wyatt's father doesn't drink MU!

Meet the Oler boys

As I mentioned in my previous post, my friend Lindsay had her twin boys April 21st. I cannot wait to see them in person! Hopefully I'll make a trip over to San Antonio to see them soon. Here are a couple of pics Lindsay emailed out. I've seen some cute babies in my day...but seriously, have you EVER seen twin boys as cute as these? They have the most adorable noses and incredible hair. They are going to be such cute (and tall) little dudes!

Cy on the left, Presley on the right...the only way I know that is because of their cute onesies (made by their crafty aunt!). I have no idea which one is which in the bottom picture...

Wyatt & April's day-of-fun!

Note: This is a waaaay overdue post. And you have to say the title like Janice from Friends :)

On Monday March 8th I was "sick" from school. The best way to get better from being "sick" from school is to spend a day with adorable little Wyatt! I really wasn't sick at all (I wouldn't be around Wy if I was sick for fear I'd get him sick) but Emily needed some extra help that week because Jacob was in College Station all week for training and a class for work. It actually worked out perfectly because she and I had run a 1/2 marathon the day before and so it was nice to have a relaxing Monday (sorry Emily)! It was so relaxing, in fact, that by the time Emily got home from school I still hadn't gotten a chance to change Wyatt out of his pjs! Oops! We just hung around the Hoffart's house and here are a few pics of what we did:

Here's the happy wake-up boy from his morning nap! He did a good job of taking naps on this particular day. I napped while he took his morning nap and then during his afternoon nap I showered and got dressed for the day...so what it if was in the afternoon!


Checking on things out his bedroom windows. He knocked and knocked...there wasn't anyone outside, but he still did some knocking and posed for a picture!



Time to work on Max's hair. Max isn't really supposed to be on the furniture, but he was at the perfect height for Wy to work on him. I love the concentration on Wy's face as he's working on his hair. Max and Wy sure do love each other.



A boy and his dog!


Up next - breakfast. Wyatt ate some apple sauce and cereal and then I scrambled an egg for him. He loved it. As you can see it started off nice and neat...


...and then soon turned into quite a mess! Luckily Max was on standby for clean-up duty.


Did I mention he liked his egg? I turned around and saw him doing this and about cracked up laughing! Seriously, Wyatt?!


Too cute. And egg was everywhere.


We then played in the living room and watched one of Wyatt's "movies." He sure loves his "movies." For some reason when I took this the screen was full of flowers and Wyatt is intently watching...not very masculine...oops.


We were still playing in the living room when all of a sudden Emily pulled into the driveway! I couldn't believe she was home so early and thought about running Wyatt into his room to change him into some clothes but thought what the heck. He was happy as could be and Emily didn't seem to mind!


I absolutely love spending time with Wyatt. He's so funny and is getting funnier and smarter every day. Some of my favorites are his waving (he waves and waves and waves at people) and his sign language - more and please. His sign for please is absolutely the most adorable thing ever. I'll try to work on taking a video of it and either posting it here or on Emily's blog.
