Celebrated my 36th birthday this year. 
I spent my birthday at the beach. We hosted a bonfire and Adrian got us the last spot that morning. Alice and I joined him around 9am and we hung out by the ocean. Adrian went and got us lunch then took Alice back home and I got some glorious alone time at the beach. Everyone came back and friends arrived after 5pm. It was such a low key, beautiful event! I loved it!
The girls took swimming lessons again this year. Finally after so many lessons, Olivia is now swimming! We are so happy for her! It was funny because she came out of the water and said “Do didn’t tell me swimming was so fun.” hahah seriously child? It’s Okay…
Alice is almost one and I cannot believe how fast the year has gone!
I can’t say it enough how much I love my Beacon Park family! They threw me a great little baby shower at Taco Rosa. I told them I wanted them to enjoy themselves as well so it was a happy hour baby shower! I got a lovley baby crown to wear 🙂 The staff was super generous and got me the new car seat that I wanted as well as some other really great items!
Today was not my favorite day. Claire decided to hide and not come out when called. I think she hid for a good 20 minutes while Adrian and I were panicking. She ended up being in her closet, laying down, under a blanket, under the hanging clothes. We looked in there so many times but never thought she would be laying flat on the ground under a blanket. Ugh such a heart attack! Then Jillian gave me a mother’s day card that read something like, I’m sorry I have been mad at you. WTF I didn’t even know she was mad at me… lovely. I’d been working a lot lately and I think that had something to do with it. After that we spent the rest of the day at my moms when really I would have just liked to crawl into bed and watch movies… maybe next year
It was so nice seeing my girl friends today! I also got to meet Katy’s fiance! Adrian couldn’t make it because he was on children duty and I really didn’t want to bring kids!
Tonight I was honored as Beacon Park’s first ever Teacher of the Year! It has been such an amazing experience working along such fantastic educators and for them to pick me as teacher of the year was a truly spectacular honor! I LOVE my BP family!
Kevin Miller has been a fantastic teammate this year! He is so great that he was awarded one of 4 Teachers of Promise in our district! This award is only given to teachers in their first two years of teaching. Power duo over here!
Our absolutely fabulous principal!
My awesome staff
