I really need to do better!

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I blogged last! How sad! I guess that goes to show how busy and crazy my life was in 2010...and still is. So, let's recap 2010 all in one post:

1. Makayla Ann turned two years old. We had a wonderful party for her here in Texas (maybe I'll blog about it later)

2. I got a new teaching job at an awesome elementary school that I LOVE! I love my co-workers and the kiddos! I'm still teaching third grade.

3. We got a puppy! I had been talking about wanting a puppy so one day, Jeff showed up at home with one. He was so tiny and cute. He's still cute but not as tiny. His name is Tiger and he loves Makayla as much as she loves him.

4. I continued working on my Master's degree which took up most of my free time. I graduate in May...FINALLY!!

5. Oh, and I forgot the mention that I got "Teacher of the Year" at my school this year! It was such a great honor.

6. Makayla and I went to Alabama for Christmas. Jeff had to work so Mak and I had to go alone. We visited lots of people and had lots of fun.

7. This actually happened in 2011, but Jeff went to Arizona to watch Auburn play in the National Championship game. He met his dad, step mom and brother out there. They had lots of fun and were so excited about the win!

I guess those are the major things that were happening with us over the past year. I can't believe how fast Makayla is growing up. Is is so not a baby anymore. She's a big girl. She talks and talks and talks non-stop. Everything isn't always clear but I can pretty much figure out what's she's saying. She is so sweet...most of the time! It's so cute how she carries her baby dolls around and rocks them and changes their diapers. She's such a little mama. I think we have finally gotten the time out thing down pat. She knows when she's in trouble and goes straight to time out. Sometimes it doesn't work for me, but if Daddy starts counting to three she takes off to time out or does whatever it was she was supposed to do. Ok, enough about Makayla. :)

I hope to blog weekly, if I can come up with anything to say. My days consist of teaching, working on grad school work and playing with Makayla. So, we'll see!
