Ring around the rosie

a pocket full of posies
ashes, ashes,
we all fall down!!

Busy busy bees

Sunday morning we played at Homecoming park,





went to South Park (to play with a stick),





rode on Grandpa's mower,



learned how to roller skate,





had lunch at Tiny's,





built my new raised garden beds and planted onions in them and planted flowers in my new flower pots (pictures of those things to come),

discovered a new hiding spot,







Took a bath and snuggled.



What a day!

You're in trouble now...

As every parent knows, when your kid is quiet they are probably up to no good. Here is my little trouble maker caught in the act...



I was going to scold her but as you might have heard I started laughing just trying to yell her name in an authoritative manner. :o)

Wastin' Away Again in Margaritaville..

Another one of Daddy and Bree's bonding moments. Making virgin Pina Coladas.

Putting the lid on...



Blending it up...



Waiting patiently...



Mmm Good....

Oh Daddy-O

I never know what I'll find on my camera after Bree and Daddy have been home alone together...

First Family Easter

Getting a good nights sleep while the Easter Bunny does his magic



I know we all slept like this at some point, but how can it be comfortable??



Awake and ready to go Mom and Dad!!



A video of Bree finding and opening her first egg.



It didn't take long before she got the hang of it all.

249 days and counting...

...until Christmas

Graham Easter 2009.

Peek-a-boo Easter Bunny



Thats one scary bunny



Grandpa will save me



Calling in reinforcements





Whew...its just my mommy



I like the Easter Bunny now...



But I like my momma better.

Hit the deck

Bree has discovered the treadmill. To which I need to add:

**Bree was not harmed in the making of this video. The "hit the deck" actions was purely her choice.

Happy Belated Birthday, Honey

My hubby turning a whopping 29 years old on April 6th. One more year and the sweet 20's are gone forever. I can't tease him too much about getting older, I'm not that much furthur behind him. For his birthday he scratch off lottery tickets.





Maybe with his winnings he can buy a new pair of jeans...



That may be all he can buy. The birthday boy only won $19. The lottery tickets were from me but Bree got Daddy some presents too.



Bree's favorite gift to Jim was a book that describes her Daddy perfectly.

My daughter, the artist

All geared up and ready to go.



First little smudge...



Getting into it...



Getting more into it..



Gimmie more...



Liking the new colors...



The artist hard at work.



Whats more beautiful: the paint palate..
