The Armendarez Adventure: August 2013

Sunday, August 18, 2013

These pictures are all from the beginning of the summer. I am behind on my blogging again so I'm going to be doing several posts of mainly pictures so that I can be sure to get them all in this years blog book. Anyway...some of the pictures below are of Jack's FIRST TIME in the swimming pool. He didn't seem to love it or hate it. His expression was very serious. Haha! Most of the other pictures are of Kyla having fun in the sun with her family.

Throwback - Surprise Baby Shower

I have to delete some pictures off my phone because I am out of storage. However, I have to post some because they are so great and I don't want to forget some things. For example, my surprise baby shower thrown by one of my classes. They asked my teaching partner if they could throw a shower for me and he told them that they could if they did all the planning. So these sweet little 5th graders sent messages home, collected money, and ended up bringing food, decorations, and gifts! I truly was in shock and had no idea! I have never had a surprise party so it truly touched my heart that my students threw this for me and my baby. Not to mention, my awesome teammates who were in on every bit and allowed the kids to plan this and use their classroom for the party. Baby Jack got some adorable outfits, we had some delicious donuts, fruit, and cupcakes, and the decorations cracked me up. They were blue and green. My favorite part was that they got a copy of my yearbook picture from the art teacher and made copies and taped my picture to the balloons. Haha! Another favorite was that they decorated a tissue box in streamers. I think we definitely have some party planners in this group of kiddos! They are so creative!! I love my students and love my job...brings me so much happiness!
