Summertime!!!

It's officially summer!!!! Last day with the kids was yesterday (i had 4 for half the day and 2 for the rest of the day...ha!) and went for a 1/2 day today for a teacher workday! I cannot believe that another year is under my belt. My third year of teaching is officially over! Where has the time gone? I've made new friends and found out that I LOVE teaching Kindergarten!!!! Those sweet babies have been such a blessing to me this year & I can't believe they are on their way to first grade!

I am so ready for long hot days & fun summer nights. I'm ready for endless days at the lake with nowhere to go. I'm ready for the beach & some yummy seafood! Thank you Lord for summertime!!!!

Instagram

Here are some instagram pictures I have taken recently! I love all the cool features instagram has!!! If you have it, follow me @kealfano! These pictures are from this weekend. I saw the prettiest sunrise Saturday morning that took my breath away.
My sister had a garage sale so I went to help with that Saturday morning & the kids had fun playing outside all morning!
Ty bought Emma a pool from Walmart and she has had a blast keeping cool in the water! It makes her really hyper!!! It's so cute!

Thought I'd do a picture update....enjoy!

My Marmie!

Happy Mother's Day to all you Mommas out there!!!

I am so blessed to have such a wonderful mother who raised me in a Christian home. She is the most selfless, loving, caring, hard-working person I know. She never missed a cheerleading competition or a game I cheered at. She was my biggest fan and has always supported me in everything I have ever wanted to do (except maybe go to BAMA - ha!). She is more than a mom to me, she is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without her. She always has the BEST advice and I can always count on her to calm me down when I am upset or stressed about something. She is such a Godly woman and I can only hope to someday be half the woman she is!!

Mom, thank you for everything. I don't know how I'll ever repay you for everything you have done for me and taught me. You are my hero! Words cannot describe what you mean to me.

I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my mommy you'll be.

Emma

Emma got her 3rd round of puppy shots this week and she did great! The vet tried to trick her by giving her treats while he gave her the shots but when he put the needle in she turned her head around to him like, "hey, you tricked me, what'd you just do?" lol it was amusing. She weighs 20.8 pounds and it is very likely that she will double her weight in about a month which is CRAZY! She is getting so big so quick!

Ty trains her when he feeds her so she has to work for every bite of food. It's pitiful but I know it will be good in the long run when we have a very well-trained dog. She does sit, down, and kennel right now and rings a bell when she has to go outside to pee! Maybe I'm biased but she's a pretty smart puppy :)

Monsoon

So I left work today and the sun was shining. It was beautiful & I left at 3:15...even better. I have a 45 minute drive home (longer with traffic) and when I got home, it was monsooning. I'm talkin downpouring, the sky falling out, can't see where you're going, monsooning!!! I could barely see to drive and the highway that my neighborhood is off of was flooded and I think my car swam home!

Babies

Last week was teacher appreciation week and I got lots of goodies including flowers, candy, candles, fruit, and cookies! These babies sure do know how to make my heart melt.....
