Laura Loizzo and I taught at Adams School. I had her daughter, Jessica, in my class when I was pregnant with Jenna. Jessica was on the Janesville Craig Jr. Prom court the day after this picture was taken.

Dottie May and I taught at Adams School. She is an amazing special education teacher! She invited Jackson and me to her house one summer day (and we went with Grandma Linda)....we had such a great time. Jackson was able to ride her neighbor's horse. The horse had an "M" brand on it...and Jackson thought he was riding a McDonald's horse. LOL

The Adler Family. Jodi, Lauren, and Katelyn

Jodi Adler and I taught at Adams School. Jodi was Joe's first grade teacher. I'll never forget doing gingerbread houses with our 4th and 1st grade buddies. It was a CRAZY time!

Lauren Adler is now a kindergartener. She was at the same baby sitter's in Janesville with Jackson and Jenna. When she was born I brought the kids to see her. Lauren's grandma Kathy asked Jackson what his name was (he was 3) and he replied "Billy Blazes". (Billy Blazes was his favorite Rescue Hero at the time.)

Karen Biege and I taught 4th grade together. I loved always going into her class to 'bug' her or tell her class the lamest joke I could find. She hosted this wonderful get together.....I can't wait to do it again this summer. She is my 'soul sister'.

Stacy Kelley and I go WAY back. We were pregnant at the same time. Our kids (Jackson and Kayley) have been the best of friends since....forever. Stacy is now a principal and I admire her so much!

This is my friend Linda McWilliams. We call her "Grandma Linda". She has always been there for me. She even took me to the hospital when I need to deliver Jenna. Linda made all the great food for our get together.....taco's and fruit pizza. She is the best cook ever! She and her hubby, Glenn, have made the trek to Omaha - twice. They haul their camper out here...and we always have a good time!

The Kelley Family! Monty, TJ, and Stacy

TJ is nearly two in this picture. I loved holding him when he was a baby....I've missed watching him grow up like I was able to see his big sister....Kayley!
