Update

Below you will see lots of pics. Today we are enjoying our third snow. I gave myself today as a deadline for adding pictures. We have been busy and lazy. Christmas at mom's and then the bunting family.... Then Christmas Day at Shanna's house. Luke has gone and returned home from Dallas... We had a nice New Year's Dinner at Mermaids, then stopped by a hole in the wall establishment... And have recovered from that experience.

Back to school tomorrow...

I hope you are all doing well. LOVE AND PEACE JB

and more pics...

Bryan and I on New Year's Eve... Fun Night..

Finally some pics!

This is Gage's first play in the snow... the third one we have had so far... He loved it..

This was Gage and LUke on Christmas Eve... Luke is not much for smiling.. :O

This is our picture in the snow as we left Denver. Bryan is in his army man outfit... It was really snowing big flakes...It was beautiful. Denver was a great trip, before my little delay in AUSTIN. I am so not a fan of Austin!!!

quick post

just a quick post...I have some newer pics to put up...but I am in my classroom.. shhh don't tell. :) Actually we just got back from a nice lunch. We were all (the entire middle school, secretaries, lunchroom ladies, etc.) taken to the Catfish Hole for a Christmas treat. I thought that was an awesome gesture from the administration. ... Anyway, now I am full and waiting for my planning period to be over....
I was sitting this morning being a little nostalgic... I told Bryan during the Thanksgiving break that I really wished I was going home to Prescott for the holidays...I guess it is me getting "OLD" or something, but ya know I miss that feeling of going "home"... Not growing up in Dardanelle, it just doesn't have the same feel. Anywho, I had to smile and think about stuff...today my hair is kinda poofy and it reminded me of some pics I have from when Traci J. would come get me and we would cruise town... and then I thought of dropping my valarie's grannies at Christmas to hang out.... SO many memories, seems like a lifetime ago. I talked to Stef last night and she told me I needed to send out Christmas cards.... I know I am a loser.. I just am not good at those...I will put pics on here for those that want to see.
One more day of school... I need this break. I have a cheer party tonite, go to mom and daddies for mom's family on Saturday, then Bryan's family on Sunday... then Shanna's on Christmas day. Busy but good times.
I hope everyone has a safe, healthy, happy holiday season.
Love and Peace,
JB

It's beginning to feel a lot like.....Fall? Christmas?

Well...I wanted to add our pic from the Hogs game the other day...It was Bryan's first... He seemed to enjoy it. I really can't lie...I of course just watch the cheer squads. Actually this time, I enjoyed watching the students' section. ...
2 days and we are off for a whole week for Thanksgiving....I am so needing this.
Not much going on....a little of cheer, a little dieting, a little Christmas thinking...the typical late November "stuff".
I hope everyone is having a fabulous fall...It is just starting to get a little chilly up our way. I am anxious to see the weather in Dec. when we go to Denver....I might come back a popsicle..(sp? that doesn't look right..)
Anywho...I need to get my Gager to sleep.
Peace and Love,
JB

already november?

I know my few faithful followers have given up on me uploading any pictures..but finally, here they are. Last weekend we celebrated Luke's birthday...he was 16 on Monday... If I didn't have any gray hairs before (HA) I certainly do now..

This weekend was of course trick or treating with Gage. Not many houses particiated...I don't know if it was because of the hogs game or what. At any rate...we only hit a few houses, but he really didn't know the difference.

One more week of football and then it is basketball season. I am ready for THANKSGIVING break..

Hope everyone is doing well..

JB

wow.

Okay, why am I awake right now... can't answer that one. It has been a wierd week. I need to be exercising, but I don't want to. HMMM, great attitude, right?
I missed my classes this morning to go work on my special ed. class... Thank goodness they are helping me. I miss class tomorrow afternoon to have a special ed meeting. Then, on Friday we go to St. Louis.
We found out today that Luke doesn't want to go camping for his birthday. I invited the fam over for cake on the 25th. I can't believe that my boy is turning 16! How old am I??? Where does the time go????? WOW>
So, this week has had its ups and downs. Cheer drama...why can't there just be none. You know in a perfect world, they would come, work out, cheer, practice and everyone would do what they are supposed to and not fuss. Of course, this isn't a perfect world. LOL!!!
I find that I do dwell on the negative a tadbit. HA, just a tad, right?? But really I can't stand it. I wish I could be one of those people who paste on a smile everyday and just roll with it, but I can't. I call myself a realist, others might use a word that starts with a B.... but really, wouldn't life just be so much simpler if everything was just ROSY? But hey, what would we have to gripe about?!?!
I know none of that just made any sense at all... but for those of you living in my little public school world right now, maybe you understand.
I think maybe I worry too much. (gee, I have never heard that before!) But really, at the end of the day I have to be a peace with what I do and I think that involves giving it 100%.
Anywho, what a random post. I guess, maybe these random thoughts are why I can't sleep....

Gager is going to be a skeleton pirate for Halloween. Don't ask what that is...but it is something. Luke wants to go to some party. Oh lord, let the good times roll....

I will post pictures soon...I promise.
Peace and Love.. Jamie Bunting
