Learning to Juggle It All

I have been trying to stay above water these days with starting a new teaching positions so fans and unexpected and have not taught in six years. And new puppies, Will being out of town in Biloxi (where I was suppose to be) and Lane traveling with my parents. It has all been a challenge and I feel like I am wiped out all of the time, but I know that it will all become the new normal and IT will get easier. Here are a few pictures of the weekend that we went to Tennessee for Tracy's shower and Mary-Beth with the class pet "Curious George that she got to take home for the weekend and had to document everything he did.

Tracy was so sweet to make homade ice cream and a cake for me and Alisa this Friday for our birthday. Thank you Tracy...you really don't need eggs to make a cake!!!! HeHe

It was really good. Alisa is just making a funny face:)

Here are Miley's cute little puppies!

I am a Kindergarten Teacher Now!

I was offered a kindergarten position at Bovina, It is not quite what I had planned for this year but God had a different plan. I will have kids starting on Monday morning so I have a lot to do the next couple of days. My mom will be keeping my sweet little Lane now. Please keep me in your prayers because this is extremely hard for me. I have dedicated the last 7 years to my family and I do not feel that that will change. But trying to balance both will be a challenge. I will post me later:)

Okay, I am finally posting pictures of MB starting school this year. These are not actually the very first day but close enough. She is really loving school now that she has gotten a week under her belt. She says that "first grade is hard because you have to write so much that your hand hurts". I am glad she is into school work right now because this makes it fun for her.

Mary-Beth's First Pedicure

Monday I took Mary-Beth for her first pedicure. She started school on Tuesday so I thought I would treat her to a girls night on Monday. We had a really great time. I will have to add some pics of Mary-Beth's first day of school. She is doing great in first grade already. It was tough on mommy to send her to first grade. I am so proud of my sweet girl!

The Blow-Up of 61 North Bridge

The kids and I went out yesterday afternoon to see the bridge out by redwood get blown up. That was the loudest thing I have ever heard!!! I could not get the best picture because all I had was my cell phone so sorry for the blurry photo.

What Have I done!!! Another Gordon Male!!!!

Mary-Beth had her first spend the night company outside my friends children and our family. She thought she was a big girl, until it was time for her to go to bed! She had a lot of fun and is excited for the next time! She left to go out of town for the entire week with my parents and Gretta. I know that she will have fun, but I did not want her to leave!

Today in church, the preschool and school age got to sing a song for the congregation! They were adorable! The song was from VBS.
Happy Birthday Memaw!!! I hope it was good one!

Saturday morning was Lanes first time to wake up early (4:00) and go fishing with the guys. This is where the title of the post comes in. I am messing up and helping to mold another Gordon boy! One that is insane and will do almost anything for the hunting, fishing and golfing! He has been fishing on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday! He wants to go today but I told him I need and break and it is raining! His daddy looks more tired than him!

This picture I had to just add in because Lane was hilarious. He woke up with the craziest hair!

Will is going to hate me but I had to post this picture of the fish Lane got. They are as big as him! He is hooked!

The Baby Fish!

Just posting a few pics that Rachelle sent me that she took. Thanks Rachelle:)

Happy 4th of July

We are back from Sandestin. We had a blast and we are happy that Rachelle and Jeffery had the same vacation time that we went. I will let most of the pictures speak for there self. The resort was beautiful and the beach was relaxing. We stayed at the Grand on the ground level so we had our own little patio and yard. That was great for the kids to run like they were at home.
