Zack's school Party

It has been an amazing year volunteering in Zack's class. It is a lot of fun to read with the kids, figure out what they like to read, where they are in their reading and just to watch their eyes light up when they finally complete a reading book. Ms. Notzel is an amazing first grade teacher. Larry and I are thrilled that Zack is in her class! Zack, Emma and I had a blast at the holiday party!

 

This hat actually sang and Emma totally danced to it. Very cute, of course she saw it in Walmart after the holidays. :) NO we did not get it! (whew)

Halloween 2011

It is really hard when you don't take the photos to say anything to your hubby who was awesome and did it for you while you were on call! :( It was a trade off for Zack's birthday. (which I had off).  The kids had an amazing time. They literally filled an entire pillowcase with candy. Larry says 8 lbs.. I say way more than that.. It was divided up and shared with my staff and of course the kiddos had a field day!

Looking so handsome!
Would be better if Ry didn't look freaked out!!
Not one to be outdone... I am in trouble when he is older. I swear he could model for GQ.
The cake and reception
Black bean salsa, mango salsa and olives stuffed with blue cheese. Yumm!! The BBQ was a success (even if I forgot to relay the times) Yummm...
