I have been on pinterest like crazy and reading some blogs about different settings for my camera. I practiced on Cody and Gauge..here are some unedited results I got :)

When I graduated in May, I asked my mom to have my diplomas framed. I had never gotten my undergrad diploma framed and wanted to have them both done. They look fantastic!

One of my friends at work had her diplomas in her classroom and I really liked it. I asked her a few months back would it be silly to put mine up and she said no. So now, the diplomas are in my room ;)

Emmett

I have been picking up one of my students from my class once a week or every other week this summer to help out his mom and dad. They invited Cody and me to join in his birthday celebration two weekends ago. We enjoyed Ultimate California Pizza and got to enjoy cake with Emmett. He left for NY two days later to spend the month with his grandma.

Earlier this week, I did an iPhone purge, I am doing another one today :)

Two pictures of us during our day date a few weeks ago

Cody reading-who knew?!?

We were playing bocce outside instead of on the beach :)

His first hole he dug (left)! Gauge is getting so big (right). When I sent this picture to daddy, his comment is Cody needs to cut the grass haha

Left: Cody rehung my pictures, the command hooks weren't working right so they are officially up :)

Right: Gauge wouldn't stop chewing my hair while I was working on this post so I grabbed him for a picture ;)

Classroomx2

Last week, my goal was to get furniture moved. CHECK :)

Today, my goal was to get a few boxes unpacked and start moving things into their space. CHECK :)

Tomorrow, my goal is to get my cabinets organized...hopefully!

My stress level had started to rise with things I needed to get done and how busy the next few weeks are with family vacation and my thirtyone conference. So my goal was to get some things rolling in my room so I was prepared..right! If you are a teacher, you know the lists gets longer instead of shorter.

Here are a few pictures from things I did during my 5 hours of working..I feel accomplished and tired haha

Missing two pictures in my frame

My desk is organized. Had to get a picture because this will never happen again during the next 8 months haha.

iPhone purge

I have got a few pictures of Coco and Gauge that I thought I would share. I text them to Cody while he is at work or to my Mom. I know its cheesy but they are cute in my eyes :)

Below is my favorite: Last Friday, Coco was on my shoulder and Gauge was curled up around my feet. This is the closest they have gotten to each other. Guess we are making progress!
