PJ's FIRST!!!

Just Before...
Just After...
My little buddy lost his first tooth Sunday night!! He was so excited! It has been loose for a few weeks now and it started to bleed so I had him sit on my lap and I pulled it right out. You don't even know how exciting this is to him. Last year he was the ONLY kid in my class that had not lost a tooth yet, not even close those babies were solid! We read a Ready Fredy book in class about a boy who was the only one in his class not to loose a tooth and he tries all these things to loose one. (tie a string to a door, mess with the bully at school, eat hard foods, etc) He finally looses his tooth in the end, and well PJ had to wait a bit longer... but he has too! He has one growing on in and now he has one more loose one, right next to this one!
The dentist says that loosing them later is a good sign, and Jory has the best teeth. They are perfect and he never had braces and has yet to have his first cavity!! I hope he has his and not my teeth! Anyways... Tooth Fairy finally made her way to the Green house!

We also took a little field trip to the Bluebell Corn Maze today. I was with the first graders, but the 2nd graders went also. It was a fun time and a beautiful day!

What happens in Vegas...

You know what they say... What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. However, there are a few things I can share... We had so much fun! Thanks to my dad's gambling habit, we had awesome rooms and VIP treatment. We spent some of our own time and hard earned $$$ to gamble ourselves a bit. Ray and I spent most of our gambling time on the Blackjack tables. Not much luck for us, but we got to play on our money a lot longer than those girls on the slots. Mom and Kimmy won pretty big on those babies though.
We went to the spa and had wonderful massages. We got to go to the Beetles "LOVE" show and we also went to a comedy called "Menopause". I really wasn't too excited for that because I hopefully have awhile until I need to worry about that, but it ended up being our favorite show. It was hilarious! At times I was crying it was so funny.
I am already looking forward to our next trip. We didn't get too much sleep and not to mention that some of us, (as in me) had to go to work Monday. I wish I would have made arrangements to have a sub. because I was really dragging!
My dumb camera died on me and I only got pictures of us on the first day, but as you can see the first night alone looks quite entertaining. The other girls took more pictures so when I get them I will share... ???

BUSY!

Oh my heck it has been a crazy few days! First of all Jory ditched us this last weekend and went hunting in Colorado with his friends and I got to play cowgirl while he was gone. It wasn't too bad, but it is starting to get sooo cold! I am also the messiest feeder. Every time I feed the horses I get that dang hay all over myself... in my hair, in my clothes... the stupid wind did not help. Anyways, it wasn't too bad until the water started freezing and I had to crush it. I had a little help from my friends so I guess I will cowgirl up here and there when I need to.


SEP conferences have been going on at school Monday and Tuesday for me. It makes for a long day, but totally worth it. I am very impressed by all of the parent support from my students this year. I have a good group of kids, some which need me more than others and they especially make me realize why it was I went into this profession.

I also had a chance to sneak in and visit with PJ's teacher, Mrs. Henderson. I am so proud of him. He is doing a great job in school. He really is such a good boy. He always does what he is told, he works hard, and he is so friendly to everyone. He is just such a tender hearted, free spirited, happy go lucky kid. We just love him sooo much!

SCHOOL IS OUT FOR FALL BREAK!! Mom, Kimmy, Shari, Raydean and I are leaving for Vegas, Baby! We leave for the airport tommorrow at 7am!! It is our annual "girls" trip. We go every year. We have some fun shows planned and luxurious overdue SPA treatments! I will NOT be thinking about what I am missing here at home... sorry! My baby is going to stay with Papa Woody and Nancy Nancy for a few days so... PEACE OUT!
