Last year I sent him on a trip to Mexico to go on a week outting with his brothers.. I wish I could do that everyyear for him. But I am going next week.. by myself.. go figure.. (for my teeth) So this year I got him gun he has had his eyes on... and making him sopa de mariscos (seafood soup) I wont see him tomorrow since he works at night and me during the day... but I wanted to make him something special so when he wakes up . .he will have a yummy lunch =) I LOVE YOU MIGUELITO!

Here are the before and after photos of our fence that Miguel built.. I love him so much! He is soo talented and when he has a project.. he doesn't stop until he is done. He is such a blessing in my life! Thank you Miguel for all you do!

September has come and gone!

Shame on me.... I was trying to be good and post on here.. but It has been a month already. Well.. we have been in our house for almost 2 months now! Wow! Time flies! We finished putting up our fence and now have been painting new colors in the house. I promise I will post pics on here. I have posted them on facebook.. and just need to save them to my computer so I can post them on here.
I am going to down to Mexico City in a couple of weeks... to have my sister in law Susie fix some teeth. I love having a dentist in the family.. much more cheaper to fly down there and get things fixed then using our insurance and doing it here.. crazy I know! While I am down there I am going to be going to the pyramids of the sun and moon to get another aztec mask for my living room... like I said I need to post pics.. which I will do this weekend for sure... (I hope... lol) It is UEA conf. weekend so no school and no work for 4 days.. woo hoo!

Bye!
Dawn

It is school time again!

Well School starts back in two more days.. I am sooo excited to go back and see all the students! Summer is fun.. but I love to work too... lol... maybe some day I will think differantly but I love my job! I got to decorate my classroom and get ready for the students.. Michael is not too keen about the idea that summer is officially over.. but He will get over it. =)

Our Closing day

Tommorow I will have to take pics of our new house =) We closed this morning.. only took about 45 minutes.... and then we were home owners again.. what an awesome feeling... this time we aren't scared.. .just full of excitement and happiness. We got the keys and I even was able to dust.. the window sills.. vacumme (the house is pretty clean.. just some dust) and spray off our front porch of the cob webs... tommorow we can start moving in. Miguel starts his vacation on wed for 12 days so that is when the major moving begins.... but tommorow we can move in the little things.. I am sooo excited!

I need to blog more!

Even if I don't have new pics.. I still need to blog.. shame on me. This blog is like our family journal...
Well.. tommorow we close on our house! Woo hoo! We also get the keys on Tuesday. I am so ready to get our house! Its been 3 years since we have owned so its about time. Too long of a vacation from being home owners. =)
Michael is almost ready to start 3rd grade! He is getting too big.. I found out the other day that his new teacher is the one I requested and I am so excited about that. She is the greatest.. koodos to Mrs. Hopkins =)
I will keep you posted on the move in and school starting. I am really excited about my new position at the school. I will be doing the literacy for the ELL (english language learners). Just up my alley!

I love Tinkerbell =)
