Life in Pictures

Saying good-bye to friends...we miss you guys!!!

Addy's first day of preschool...she loves it by the way! Uncle Stephen moved back to Texas!!! He came for a visit, it was our first time to see him in almost 2 years! Addy crowned Elly a princess, and Jimmy took a picture. Update on her, she is still on O2, it was lowered but not removed. She will be retested in July. Stats from her 6 mo check up: 9lb 14oz, 22 1/2 in. YUMMY pecan rolls! My mother's day gift from Dave. I had this recipe I'd been wanting to try for awhile. SO I got to sleep way in, and he made this yummy treat for me! Thanks sweetie! The kids had early release a week ago, so I took them to Sea World for the afternoon. They loved it! This is in the 4d theatre where we saw the Pirate show. Here is outside the sea lion show. We also rode Journey to Atlantis 3 times, and got soaked. Fun, and tiring all in one. Timmy has been really into washing up after going to the bathroom. But when I hear the water for too long, I know it's time to check on him...he's flooded the sink a few times. I guess I should be happy he's washing up. Is there such thing as a clean mess? If so I guess this is it.Our big pool from the last 2 summers sadly died...so we got this small one for afternoon entertainment. So far so good! The kids have gone out nearly everyday. Dave and I were in need of a "date night" so we told the kids they could have a movie night upstairs in our room with a movie on the computer. A few hours later this is what we found. Can you spot all 3 of them? Elly got clearance to go on trips to see family, so long as everyone was healthy. So we headed up to see the Great-Grandparents for the weekend. It was lots of fun for all! Elly's first trip, and my first time to leave town in 6 months! A friend of mine has rented out a booth space at a children's store and said I was welcome to put stuff in it too. So here is a Pooh rag quilt I made and paired with the stuffed animals for a gift set. I don't know if it will sell, but I had fun making it. The best part is I made it all from stuff I already had, I didn't have to buy anything. The kids school had teacher appreciation week and the kids were supposed to bring something different everyday. On the last day they were supposed to bring a sweet treat. So I re-did these tins we had from some store bought treats with scrap book paper and mod podge. They came our really great! The pictures don't do justice. We filled them with home made chocolate covered toffee. And now the teachers have personalized tins to keep and re-use for whatever. No pics for the last tid-bit of info. Dave has been interviewing a lot! It seems there are many opportunities on our horizon. No definite plans yet, but in the mean time we have really enjoyed the time together as a family!
