Summer Time


What is the BEST thing about Summer Vacation!?!?!

*Family Time
*Sleeping In
*Vacation
*Beach Visits
*Ice Cream on a hottt day


well..maybe there are just too many for me to pick *the best* thing about summer! 
My little family just got back from our annual trip to Florida! We try and head down each year to visit family and soak up the sun! 

I love that the kiddos are getting old enough to make it through theme parks now without any major melt downs! We got to visit Legoland! Oh myyy! We had such a blast there! Several members of my family got to go and we had so much fun! We spent half the day in Legoland and the other half coolin' off in the water park! Talk about a blast! It was one of the highlights of our trip!
We spent the rest of the time just hanging out with family...oh yeah, and visiting a few other theme parks! But this post would be about ten pages long if I talked about that all day!!! 
We also had my (siiiigggh) high school reunion! It feels like YESTERDAY when we walked the field...in the rain! haha! Hard to believe it's been so long!


A few pics from our vacation! 




The hubby and I




I even got to have lunch with my sweet friend Jen from The Teacher's Cauldron! 


Now it's back to life! I must confess I did work a *tad*! My hubby was injured while on vacay and we had to have a little stay at the hospital. He was sleeping most of the time so I plugged away. I updated a few of my FIRST products and I am SO happy with the changes. My best seller is by far-- My R-Controlled-Vowels-Literacy-Packet-!! However, this was literally like the first product I ever made! So I went back and updated it quite a bit! If you've purchased this product..*please* go back and download again! You can do this by going to "My Purchases"!!! 


Here is a little preview...





R Controlled Vowels Literacy Packet!
Includes:
* eight word sorts
*seven ABC Order centers, two sets for each center 
(with recording sheets) 
*BINGO Center with 8 different boards! 
*R Controlled Vowel word list posters

So what is your favorite part of summer?!?!

BTS Freebie in JULY!


Hey Everyone!!  I have been working on my Back to School packet and decided I'd give my readers a little freebie!! I know, I know! It's only JULY! But I do have some followers who are ALREADY gearing up for the ever so crazy Back To School Season! I didn't want them to miss out on a little freebie :)

Just click HERE to check  out my little sight word game! My students always LOVE this game! I posted one last year in a fall and Halloween theme. To check that out,  click here for my FALL version!!!


We are still enjoying our summer here. We've hit up the Zoo, The Gardens, Parks, GYM ( haha) and here this last week, we've visited a few water parks! What a blast those are! Our kiddos have had such a blast this summer soakin' in the rays and getting all wet!!! 
We are all so excited for the rest of our summer and can't wait to see what the good Lord has in store for us :)
Keep praying for me about a full time position--I'm really hopeful that I will get one this year! Sometimes, waiting on God's timing and not our own, is a difficult thing to do!!!

Faith, Hope and Love and Throwback Thursday



Hey friends! It's Summer Time!! I've been trying to relax, EXERCISE, and do  some sole searching, I often find myself coming back to the same verses. So I made printables and framed some of them to add to our home, office and in the fall (hopefully) my CLASSROOM!!

I did interview for a position and am praying that God leads me to the right position.


So my plans for this summer? Of course, hitting the gym a little extra :) I have about 10 lbs to go to my ideal weight and I'm super excited about getting there. Do you need a little extra support with your fitness routine? Check out our fitness blog!!! 

We are also going to be vacationing and just trying to spend all that extra family time that we can :) 


Here are a few pictures of my latest TpT Packet: Bible-Verse-Posters-on-Education-Life-Love-and-Everything-Else-736399









I'm also linking up with Sweet Cara from The First Grade Parade!





Here's my Throwback Thursday Post with a little Math Freebie!




post signature Hey y'all! I'm linking up with my sweet friend Tessa, from Tales Outside The Classroom!  



She's hosting this linky party so I just HAD to join in!





*People* I'm in LOVE with!



Of course-- My husband! My husband is my rock! I just love him to death. He's loving, caring, funny and best of all, the best husband and father I could have ever wished for! 










Yes, that is a TEXAS Flag vest...can we say PROUD TEXAN???? ;)



My kiddos are so amazing! I love them so much! They are so energetic and keep me going ALL the time! Life never stops with boys in the house!!!





*Products* That I Love! 



Humm--that one is EASY! 

I love this water bottle that I got as a Christmas gift! I use it EVERYDAY!!









Of course-- Y'all know how much I love my country music! I found this gem in my CD collection the other day--I've been blaring it in the radio EVERY since!! haha! Who can resist KING GEORGE?!?!









Here is my latest freebie FREE-Addition-Math-Center That I just uploaded to TpT! 



I use it as a math center when my students are finished with their work. I simply printed on card stock, laminated, and secured with binder rings. Then, I store in a ziploc bag with dry erase markers and dice! My kiddos love this! 














My I Can Make Words  is getting great feedback from teachers of various grades! I love that you can differentiate it so easily! This packet includes 10 printables for making words. Students cut letters out and arrange them together to make words. 





*Places* I'm in LOVE WITH!





I'm  so totally in love with the...GYM! I know it sounds crazy, but every since I started my fitness journey, I have just really enjoyed getting the stress out with exercise! My favorite exercise has to be squats! I love them! More than that, I LOVE the results from killing it with squats!!!!



I am also really enjoying the dead lift--but don't tell my trainer! Haha! I might whine a tad when we have to do them! But all and all, exercise in general really excites me! My husband just started working out this week..He's went like three times and I've already had to run him outta the vitamin stores! I'm like baby steps hun, baby steps ;) He would buy every protein supplement if I would allow it! I'm like let's see how long it *last* before you go spend a bunch of money on something---does this sound familiar to anyone else ;)

 I just can't wait to get to the place where I can really just start maintaining my weight and not having to diet as serious. That part, is NOT fun!



Thanks Again Tessa for hosting this great linky party!







Till Next Time!
