Lately

So I (Laura) decided that we needed to start a blog. I thought it would be a great way to try and preserve some memories, not only for us, but for our extended family as well. Both sides of our family are growing very quickly... so hopefully this will help keep everyone up to date on what is going on in our life! So here we go...


Update #1
On May 15th Cy (our nephew) turned two! It's hard to believe he's already two. Here are just a few pictures from his birthday... thanks Aunt Emilie for taking some pictures!

His party was John Deere themed, so cute!



Cy and his sweet little friends playing at his new water table.

We love our nephew! He is such a blessing and so much fun! Happy 2nd birthday Cy Jackson Tolbert!




Update #2
On May 29th, Emilie (Matt's little sister) graduated from Jourdanton High School... way to go Emilie. We're so proud of you! It was so fun to celebrate with her and the rest of the Norwood family with some carne casada and cake! She will be going to the Art Institute in San Antonio in the fall and we know she'll do a great job there!



The graduate and sweet cousin Katie!




Update #3

June 4th was my last day of school.  It was kind of bittersweet.  I really enjoyed this group of kids and will miss them tremendously next year... but I was really ready for summer to get here.  On our last day, Mrs. B (Ashley Breaux) and I let our kids egg us.  Any of my kids who made an A on their level two test got to crack an egg on my head.  They really loved it!  Here are a few pics.  I tried not to post any with their faces in them so I don't get in trouble.  :)

Here's me after a few eggs

And here's Mrs. B- she had one girl make a 100 so she got a pie too!

Although some days teaching is hard, it really is such a rewarding career.  I love my kids and will miss them!  

Update #4
On June 5th, Jay (my brother) and Kristal got married! They went to a small church and had a preacher marry them there so they could avoid the hassel of Mexico's marriage laws. We can't wait to celebrate with them in Cancun at their destination 'wedding'! Welcome to the family Kristal!




That's what has been going on in our life lately. Hopefully we'll keep it pretty up to date! We have a busy summer ahead of us and can't wait!
