Lots of Craziness happens when I take a Sunday Nap

This is MY shower - What the heck??? I took a Sunday nap and apparently Lindsey and Carli were filming a commercial in my shower! Sometimes I freak out when I walk into a room a find a mess like this that they "were just getting ready to clean up" but I guess I should be happy they are using their imaginations and not sitting around playing mindless video games!

Memorial Day

We went to the Memorial Day parade. It looked like a Porter Rockwell Painting downtown. It was so small town and fun! Great weather, great friends, and a fun picnic with our ward later in the afternoon.

Of course we had to make a quick stop at Main Street Cupcakes!

This lady was adorable! Driving Miss Daisy!

Lindsey's Economics Project

Lindsey had to do an economics project at the end of the school year. She had two partners, Ali and Gracie. They came up with a name, business plan, marketing plan, etc. At the end of the unit, they had a fair where all of the kids displayed their projects and had to give guests who attended their "business pitch". I was so impressed with it all. It's not surprising that rhinestones were involved in Lindsey's company. It was called "GAL" (Gracie, Ali, Lindsey) and it was cute clips. Anything to make a girl feel pretty from the neck up!

SPRING

Spring is here and it is fabulous! A couple of weeks ago it seemed like everyday was something new blooming. First the daffodils, then the tulips, then all of the trees with flowers and now they are all covered with leaves. It is the most beautiful shade of bright green. Every day the cold, cold winter gets pushed further and further into the back of my mind. Four or five months of winter cold is not seeming so bad when this is what comes after! I found a little robin's nest in a small pine tree that is right by our walkway. It has four tiny blue eggs in it and we check it every day waiting for baby birds. I love watching all of the birds tease Mojo. They fly really low in the yard and he chases them for hours. Then, when he is exhausted he takes HIS place in MY happy place (our screened back porch) to relax!

This nest is right at eye level.

These were my first tulips that came up!

Del and Carli

Lulu loves driving this around. She took it over to her friends house!

Happy 13th Birthday Sydnee

Sydnee turned 13! How can she (I) be this old? The night before her birthday Del took her out and some of her friends came over and decorated her room. I'm not sure why all of that text was underlined?!? They did signs and posters and balloons and somehow all ended up wearing her hats and shoes. I love this group of girls - they are awesome!

This was Sydnee when she got home and walked into her room! Surprise!

I picked her and some friends up from school at lunch and took them to lunch and to the cupcake shop. I wish I would have taken more pictures.

She had a great birthday and her friends were so thoughtful with the gifts they gave to her. Happy Birthday Sydnee!

Spring is coming

This is a picture I took a few weeks ago of some of my spring flowers starting to come up. They had lots of bulbs in the yard already and Lindsey and I planted lots more so it should be fun to see what comes up. This is our first spring here and everyday I see new things starting to bloom. I'm so ready to have leaves back on the trees. I've heard spring weather can be very unpredictable so I hope we like it. I'm pretty much planning on one last snow storm so I don't freak out if it happens in April or May!
