Owen's Third Birthday

Well, Owen, my nephew just recently celebrated his third birthday, June 20th to be exact.  We had a small family gathering at the farm this past weekend to celebrate.  Owen had a fire hat birthday cake and also got a big boy bicycle.  We had fun lounging by the pool and swimming with the boys to celebrate this momentous occasion.  Happy Birthday Owen!!

Mrs. Roden's 2nd Grade Classroom

Well, in case you didn't know I have officially transferred from sixth grade to second grade.  I am SUPER excited about this transition.  I have been waiting patiently for three years!!! Now of course, this means that I have to move classrooms.  So, on Tuesday with the help of Dougie Boy, Joycie, Bonnie (another 2nd grade colleague), Elaine (she took my room and I took hers), and her three children we were able to successfully move all of our stuff.  Of course everything isn't exactly where I want it to be, but it's all in my room.  Once my summer practicum is over for graduate school (July 11), I will be able to visit my classroom more frequently and get it ready for my upcoming students.  I have told lots of people, and everyone always responds, " You are going to LOVE IT!!!!"  I am very excited to meet my students and get our year off to a GREAT start.  So.......I believe this picture definitely makes it official:Lindsay's Classroom 004

Pretty Flowers

Here are some pictures of flowers I have taken with my camera.  My camera can be a little tricky to use, with all of it's fancy buttons and such.  Anyway....hopefully I will get better with practice.

Piper

For those of you have not met Piper, I am posting a picture of what she looks like.  She should be almost a year old now.  Spencer brought her home last August.

I have been working on school work the majority of the day and Piper thought she would do a little work too!

Bella is enjoying her car ride to the farm.  She is looking forward to a fun filled weekend with her BFF, Buster Brown. 

 

Weekend at The Farm 029 Here Bella and Buster Brown and lounging in the grass enjoying each other's company.

 

Weekend at The Farm 127 This is what Bella and Buster Brown do the majority of the time.  They love to run along side the four wheeler.  As you can see here they are running ahead. 

 

Weekend at The Farm 129 Bella loves cooling off in Lake Roden after a hard run.

Weekend at The Farm 263 This is the best part.  They are both completely worn out.  Bella will sleep for two days once we get back to Birmingham.

Owen and Henry

Owen and Ramey fishing on the banks of Lake Roden.

Henry's getting so big. Pretty soon he will be running right along side Owen. Owen is attempting to catch a "big one" out of Lake Roden.


Isn't this sweet? Look how grown-up Owen looks running through the flowers.


Aren't they the cutest nephews ever?? They were so much fun when we did our photo shoot in the field of yellow flowers.
