Looking forward to a very PATRIOTIC summer!!! (Yes, that is an American Flag bikini.)


Can't wait!!

We went to Mississippi this past weekend for the wedding of one of David's best friends from high school! It was in Brandon, MS which is right outside of Jackson.

Mr. and Mrs. Sexton!!

Jordan's Bachelorette Party!!

Last weekend was Jordan's bachelorette party!!! We all went down to Rosemary Beach and stayed at an AMAZING house! It was fun to get away for the weekend and see Jordan in her prime! Needless to say, we all learned things about Jordan that we never knew :)


Here is cute little Jordan ready for her night of FUN!



Can't wait for July 17th!!!!

Field Trip!!!

Last week, I went on my very first field trip as a teacher!! I took my 4th graders to Montgomery, AL because we are studying Alabama History. It was kind of a flashback for me because I went to Montgomery in the 4th grade as well. It is definitely different being a teacher and having to keep up with students, rather than being a carefree 4th grader just enjoying the trip.

Our first stop was the Capitol.

The kids had so much fun laying under the rotunda!!



Next stop, the archives building! Funny story, this is next to Whitney's new office!! Unfortunately, she was in Birmingham having her bridal portraits made so she could not come visit us! :( But, fortunately for her, her pictures turned out AWESOME!! (Just a little side note...)



We also visited Old Alabama Town, which was so fun! I remembered going there as a 4th grader 
myself! Here is my sweet little class..the lady taking our picture wasn't a very good photographer..poor thing. 



Here we are at the Civil Rights Monument! I had never seen it before and it was so neat! There was a fountain that ran over the top and the kids got to put their hands in it. 



Overall, it was a very good day!! I loved watching the kids learn and they genuinely seemed interested in everything they were seeing. Field Trip #1- SUCCESS!!
