Bennett's Room
I have had a few requests for a post on Bennett's room. So, here you have it:
When I was pregnant I was so indecisive. I bought 3 sets of bedding before returning them all and having my Mom make one. I had a vision of exactly what I wanted it to look like. It was not easy but after a lot of shopping, phone calls and internet surfing, I was able to come up with all the components. I am so happy with it. Thanks Mom!!
If you are ever in need of a crib, I highly recommend JcPenney Catalog!!
This was his dresser, Ikea special..........
And here it is after I got my hands on it.
My Dad made this shelf for him and I painted it to match. Bennett is so lucky to have such talented grandparents. This saying came from a Dixie Chicks song. (It's on my playlist) I have always said I would sing it to my little boy, and I do.
Some day I would like to replace this wall hanging with something a little less girly, but until I find it- this will have to do.Our neighbor made Bennett this soft, fluffy blanket. It matches his room perfectly.
I am in the process of doing something cute with these letters, so stay tuned........

I was 13 years young. Just entering my 8th grade year. My BFF Ashley and I had tons of fun but not with out getting our selves into trouble. I was a sassy little thing who thought I was pretty cool making fashion statements such as wearing about 9 necklaces at a time, painting only 1 finger nail and shopping in my brothers closet. I spent a good amount of time in "pass" which was detention hall. I don't know why my school called it that??

I LOVE FALL
I am so excited for summer to go and fall to come. It has always been my favorite season. It reminds me of so many things,
the fun holidays, (my costume last year, 8 1/2 months pregnant)
all my favorite colors,
getting ready for Bennett to be born,
decorating my house,
warm foods,
cooler weather and wearing pants and sweaters,
and going back to school.
I realized that this year will be the first that I am not going back to school. After high school I have been working at schools and going to college until now. I really will miss it. I had so much fun with the kids and feeling their excitement, energy and innocence. I loved helping them learn and grow. My favorite thing of all was feeling that I got to share with them of "you did it". I loved seeing them so proud of themselves when they read their first book or even just hung up their jacket by themselves. Even though I will not be doing that at a school, I still get to do it everyday at home with Bennett. I can see the excitement and pride in his eyes when he does something for the first time and immediately looks to me to make sure I saw it and receive his praise. I love what I am doing right now and can't think of anywhere else I would rather be, but here is a little tribute to the kids I will miss and the fun that we had.
Fun Field TripsThis little guy proposed to me right after Jon did. "Miss MarKey will you marry me?" While presenting a giant ring from a coin machine.
"Sorry Ben, I am going to marry Jon."
"But my ring is bigger........"
Smart for a 5 year old, huh. Knows just what to say.
This is Bennett. He was such a sweet boy. I don't know what I would have named my child if I never got to be this little boys teacher.
A fun part of my job was writing, teaching and directing the programs. Don't they looks so cute in their Christmas and spring outfits?
