Classroom & Salsa

I went and unpacked my classroom today. RB came to help me move the big stuff! He's so sweet! Rickar came along to help me today too! He's so smart, he was jumping the blocks in the hallway saying the colors, just like the preschoolers there! (: He really enjoyed playing with all my "toys"! And even helped a few times! I prolly won't do anymore work until the last week in July. I have a week worth of workshops, then I will start the next week in my room. So like a couple more weeks of summer break! So sad! 

I made some fresh salsa for supper with my handheld thing from pampered chef! It took like 5 minutes!

Melanie and Seth are having a sleepover tonight...it's been wild, but worth it! I love them!

Tomorrow we are going to Murfreesboro water park with a bunch of girls & kids. 

Pictures from today: 

RB had plenty of help in the chicken houses! (;

Working Cows...

Rickar's favorite thing in the world to do right now is work cows! Even if it included getting up at 5:30am to go! 

Ryder had a blast too, and finally fell asleep. 

RB got ran over a few times this morning by calves. Once he even got knocked out of the head gate by a bull! :/ He's going to be sore tomorrow, but hopefully okay. 

Mommy & Daddy

Mommy (Darla) just finished her first year teaching first grade! It was a blast, but very trying. Starting the year with a 3 month old and a 20 month old was very hard! Especially after being a sahm for so long. The hardest part was leaving them and bring so sick ALL year! 😔😟😬

Daddy (RB) finished his first year at Farm Bureau in January. He received "Rookie of the Year" for his district! We were very proud of him. We also have a farm, Razorback Farm. RB takes care of the 4 chicken houses. We also have some land with cattle in Foreman. My husband is a busy man! 

Our two baby boys keep us on our toes, along with our full time jobs! 

We have been together 9 1/2 years, with 6 married. I can say with two boys, we look forwards to each date night as well! 😍😊💑

Update: Ryder Griffin

Ryder will be 14 months old on the 11th.
