New Bed!

Jason and I decided that we needed a new bed. We researched and decided on a sleep number. Here are a few pictures of us putting it together.



These are all the boxes it came in; four total.



Here I am putting the sides together. All the bed frame is made out of plastic.



Jason putting on the legs.



Here is the bed frame together.



Jason is putting on the top to the frame. Again this is all plastic.



This is the inside of the mattress. The air chambers are not inflated yet. The gray sides are foam.



Here I am covering the foam on the edge of the mattress, that encloses the air chambers. Here the air chambers are inflated. We took a bed skirt to cover the black plastic legs.



There is a mattress cover that goes over the air chambers.



Here is the bed made. It sleeps wonderful. It is funny when I get out of bed there is a hole in the bed, because I have my side on a very low number.

Strawberry festival

We went to the Strawberry Festival in Plant City. We have gone several years in a row now. It is the best place to get Strawberries! We had so much fun hanging out with friends and eating strawberries! Here are a few pictures of that day! We did get a little bit of sun it was HOT and BRIGHT!


This is the best strawberry shortcake. You get to make your own!

The Pig Races is the best show to watch at the Strawberry Festival. The pigs race for an Oreo Cookie. The winner gets a whole cookie and the rest of the pigs get parts of an Oreo cookie.



Here are the little pigs racing! They are on the bottom left side of the photo.


Here are the Big Pig racing!


During the Pig races the pigs swim in this pool. I liked the sign "Hog Wash!"


Here is a little pig going through the "Hog Wash," the pigs race through the water as part of the course. He is in the middle of the pool you can see just the top of his head.


Kim and Clint our friends who went with us!


Here we are sitting in a strawberry chair at the festival!

Crazy week

This week was a crazy week. We had our state testing (FCAT) and my cousin (Kelly) had her baby. The FCAT went well. I had testing Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Jason had testing Tuesday and Wednesday. Our students did a great job last week. We will get their scores the last week of school. Now we get to move onto the fun teaching. I get to do more projects and activities in class. The students are really excited!

Disney for Valentines!

We went to Disney on Monday after Valentine's Day! I know that these are posted late sorry. We could not find the camera for a few weeks. It was in the glove box of the car.
Here are a few pictures. The first few photos are the inside of Space Mountain. When we got to the front of the line they said that they had technical difficulties and they turned on the lights. It was cool being able to see the track. We only had to wait just a few minutes and the lights went off and the ride was moving again.







Here are a few pictures of Animal Kingdom. Our camera battery died while we were at Disney. Therefore we did not take many pictures.
