Bella's Blessings: January 2017

Christmas 2016

It's the best time of year! This year though was a little harder as DISD worked until the 22nd of December. All I can say is thanks goodness for Amazon. If it wasn't on Amazon, my family didn't get that gift. Here are the glorious pictures which tell the whole story:

The Dallas kids helped us decorate the tree!

Cookie decorating!

Puppies need Christmas outfits too!

All the grandkids and nieces and nephews at Momses and Papa's annual Christmas party.

Time with the girls. Annabelle with her first pedicure.

Connor and Paige came early as they went to Paige's family for Christmas.

Samson's first Christmas.

Christmas at the ranch.

How blessed are Pops and Bella!

And know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time. Jesus Christ

Count Your Blessings, Bella

Thanksgiving 2016

We of course spent Thanksgiving at the ranch. Luci even got t-shirts this year. We added Abbey's mother in law and her mother, Sasha and Nona. We had a delightful time. The boys were able to hunt although no deer were to be found... All in all the joy of Thanksgiving was being together as a family. We missed Brooke and Travis. They were with Travis' family this year.

Abbey and Justin shooting

Goody bags!

Finley always decorates the table.

Shirts for the adults this year. Thanks Luci!

Count Your Blessings, Bella

For what I have received may the Lord make me truly thankful. And more truly for what I have not received. Storm Jameson

Principal of the Year- Well Almost

I had the pleasure of representing my schools as the district nominee for Principal of the Year. This was such a surprise and such an honor. To have only been in DISD for 4 years and to have successfully navigated through this process is amazing. I give all the Glory to God and feel I am in the right place that He has called me to be. I know each day I make a difference in a child and infant's life! My work is all to His glory and I thank my Lord and Savior for giving me these precious students and faculty to work with. It is not all perfect and I was runner up, but I go to work each day with a smile on my face. The awards ceremony was beautiful. The committee made each of us feel special. I walked into my school to my surprise with all of my students lining the halls to greet me. The staff gave me a beautiful lunch. My parents and family was able to celebrate. I am DISD Proud!

Count Your Blessings, Bella

To God be the Glory!

Wyatt Turns 4

Our sweet Wyatt Darin turned 4 in November. We all arrived in Austin to a great park and celebrated this sweet boy! He wanted a ninja turtle theme party and that is what he had!
