Walk in the Park

We had a very nice walk this evening and enjoyed seeing how the rain has affected Oak Point Park. I was having fun taking lots of pictures as we went. One of our favorite things about our house is living close enough to walk in the park now that they have put in the trails. 

Beautiful sky


In the evenings, the sun shines on our house so it practically glows. This is always my favorite view of our house. 

We found a crawfish. Of course, Theo wanted to poke it. 
Lots of mud!

The creek is pretty full and flowing fast. 


We saw a really long worm. 

Of course, Theo and Lizzy had to poke it. 
And Lizzy was able to hang it from a stick. 
Look at how the grass has been flattened by the water. 

The path was a bit damp.

This rather large puddle has formed. 

The flowers, especially queen anne's lace are blooming beautifully.

Our house looks so pretty with the flag out front. With a donation, the Rotary club will place a flag in your yard for each patriotic holiday. 

Memorial Weekend Picnic

For Memorial Day, we were supposed to go camping with our sweet friends, but the campsites were flooded and the weather wound up being terrible that evening so it was just as well. Instead we went to the park and had a fun picnic. 

The girls had fun staining shirts with colored chalk left over from Holi. Then they fringed and beaded them. 




Jackie even got decorated!












Becky's Graduation Party

A good friend of mine graduated nursing school the same weekend I graduated so my mom and my wonderful friend threw us a graduation party! 

We somehow landed on one of the few days in May that it didn't rain! The kids had so much fun in the pool but it was COLD! 




This is my amazing 2nd grade mentor teacher and my professor! I love them!







Gifts and cards!


 My mom and the kids made cakes and cupcakes!







I wish I'd have gotten more pictures of the decorations because Katie and her friends had it decorated beautifully!

The party was lots of fun and it was so nice to celebrate with friends!

Becky's College Graduation

On May 16, 2015, I graduated from A and M - Commerce with a Bachelor of Science! 


My medal for graduating summa cum laude!


Just before the ceremony - I think the lion got my hand!

 

This was my group for internship and residency (student teaching year). I loved all of them, especially my amazing professor!
