Zach and Nathana

1. Saturday was the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, which Mama and Suzanne were going to walk in, but Suzanne already felt under the weather and it was raining, so we ended up going shopping. I got an adorable dress and sweater from NY & Co. I will be wearing it for picture day tomorrow at school. 2. A negative however is that I had a stupid, awful, no good fever blister pop up over night, so I don't think I am going to look very pretty for picture day tomorrow! Ugh! I guess there is always the retake day if they don't turn out well. 3. Tonight was our Pizza Box Party for the kids at school who completed the worksheets and activities that they were given at the beginning of the summer. We went to Walther's Golf and Fun and I played laser tag with a group of twenty second graders. I was thinking I was going to go easy on them and not be aggressive. That was until the little stinkers decided that since I was the only teacher in there, they were going to all, and I mean...

1. We got our mattress set in this past Saturday! It was about time. While Zach was at work, my mom and I tried to get the bed frame together. Zach's parents met me to pick up the mattress and then with the 4 of us, we got it all together! We were so excited! It is wonderful and we sleep so well on it! 2. I can't find the charger for my camera battery, which is why I haven't had pictures in a while. I hope I find it soon, especially because I want to share pictures of our new bed! 3. Saturday night we celebrated Zach's Mom's birthday at Texas Roadhouse. She was scared to death we were going to sic the birthday singers on her, but Zach was nice and didn't tell it was her birthday! 4. This week has gone by super quick! I can't complain because I just love sleeping in on the weekend. 5. Yesterday the teacher of a boy in my reading block 7. asked me if I would be interested in tutoring him. I said yes of course, but now I'm nervous and hope I know what to do...

1. The Office comes back on a week from tonight! Woo hoo! I can't wait. 2. Nellie has been hiding all of her toys. I could be wrong, but I think she forgets where she puts them. I think today is the first time I have seen her Kong toy since her birthday! She is too funny, because usually they are in a place she can't reach under. She usually will whine/cry until I figure out she wants me to fetch something for her! 3. Yesterday was Zach's mom's birthday! Nellie says," Happy Birthday, Nana! We love you!" 4. This week at school has gone by pretty fast! Now I only have to get through tomorrow! 5. Tomorrow is my first pay day! We are praising the Lord that it is finally (well, almost) here! 6. Zach got two new small tree stands this week! As I understand, he has big plans for them! 7. I am also FINALLY getting my hair cut tomorrow. I would say it's been no less than 9 months since my last one, and my hair is driving me crazy. Let's hope it turns out well! ...

Nellie's birthday was over a month ago, but it's been a busy month, so here are some pictures from her PINK birthday party. This is the centerpiece of the table. Pink everything! I was loving it! This was Nellie's cupcake. It had the extra dots because she chose to pull a cupcake down on Sunday morning when I was decorating. I snatched it back and made sure not to confuse it with everyone elses! These are her "pup cups." We filled them with either puppy chow or your drink of choice. Elizabeth and I spent a couple hours making them! I think they turned out splendidly, though! Nellie's birthday banner. Which I spent about 4 hours on by myself, and Elizabeth helped with for about 1 or so one day! It was beautiful though. (It's actually still up! hehe) Zach wants to know when I am going to take it down. Also, ignore our ceiling, we took down the ceiling tiles and have yet to refinish it! Our sweet girl in her birthday outfit! All of her gifties! Nellie wi...

Starting with... 1. Labor day September 5th. We got to sleep in and then went out and about looking for a new bed/ mattress set! We found a great deal at Baumberger's and are still waiting for them to come in. : ( I know it's not been that long, but I just can't wait to get them and sleep on them! 2. That afternoon we went to Zach's parents to cook out. It was freezing, so I got a cold/sinus infection! Boo, but we still had fun! 3. This 4 day work week seemed every bit as long as a 5 day one! 4. I am developing a highly undesirable raccoon tan on my face from bus duty. I told my principal I needed compensation! Haha 5. Zach has night classes a couple of nights, so Nellie and I usually go on a walk and I do my elliptical. Then Nellie makes me super paranoid by walking around growling and cowering like she's scared. I thought she'd be my little fearless protector, but we're thinking not! 6. We picked out our bed and I actually went out and bought it on Frida...

1. Here are a couple pictures from Zach's surgery. He is doing a little better, but is still so sore! He goes to the Dr. tomorrow for the second time this week and is scheduled to get the drain removed. Here we are after they had placed his IV and had him changed into his fashionable hospital gown. (He was not liking it!) Opening his basket from our Sunday school teacher, Jana! He loved it! Nellie was cracking me up laying under the cover like this. She was laying by her Daddy making sure he was taken care of! 2. My Uncle Reid had a stem cell transplant today for his Leukemia. It sounds as if it went well and we are so glad! Praise the Lord! Now he must stay in the hospital for the next 100 days if all stays well! 3. Today two girls in the fourth grade (two of my third graders from when I was student teaching last year) seperately stared at my belly and said, "Mrs. Scheller, when are you going to have a baby ?" Whoa. I know that my dress does not make me look so big I ap...
