Labor Day Weekend

Now that E is home we get to spend lots of time as a family.

Of course we get Labor Day off so E and I decided to drive to San Antonio Friday night and stay for the weekend.

We took Ryleigh to the Alamo and to the Zoo. We also visited the Wax Museum and Ripley's.

We also had the chance to take Ryleigh on a carriage ride pulled by horses. She loved the weekend as did E and I!

First Day Back...In a Classroom....Learning

So today was my first day back into a college classroom and it was to learn!!

My mother. She is wonderful and crazy.

She is the secretary for the English Department. This mornings first class was Forms of Literature with her boss.

So what does my mother do? She has her boss bring in her phone to take a picture of me at my desk for a "first day of school" pictures.

Ha Ha Ha

But lucky me, I wasn't the only one she stalked. She also got my baby sister who is a Junior in high school but taking a few college courses. ;-)

I love her smile in this one.

She was definitely not happy about the pictures lol

It was a good day! My class load though I'm taking a total of 15 hours I feel like I can do it. My goal is to make all A's!!

I'm taking the Forms of Lit., Zoology, Zoology lab, Technology in the Classroom, and Texas History. 

Wish me luck!!! I'll be on campus from 7 am until about 6pm some nights and Wednesday until 9pm as my Texas History class is a night class from 6pm until 9pm. I'm still working in the purchasing department as a buyer so I have to make up my hours while I'm away in class. ;-)

Ryleigh's Second Trip to North Carolina

Every Summer we visit North Carolina and Grandma Casper!

Unlike normal people we also drive the 24 hours across the country.

But it is fun!!

Y'all remember last year's trip was Ryleigh's first trip.

We saw a baby Black Bear outside my grandma's house

Ryleigh loves to ride trains

We went to Santa Land! 

Ryleigh's first little roller coaster ride.

This year on our way back through Texas we stopped to watch a Texas Ranger's baseball game. It was sooooo hot poor Ryleigh was a sweaty toddler!

First Baseball game!

She is still a wonderful travel buddy.

My Baby Turns 1!!

It has been a crazy week with Ryleigh turning one. We've had such a great time the past week and we had even more fun at her first birthday party!!!

I kept the theme of her nursery for her first party. Pink and Grey Chevron with Elephants. 

Here are a few of the pictures from her Party!!

52 weeks of Ryleigh up on that window of pictures!! #WeeklyRyleigh

She loved the cupcake Gamma (my mom) gave her!!

Daddy bought her her Bubble Guppie chair and she loved it!!
