My Son's 3rd Birthday

Z celebrated his 3rd birthday/

We all had a really great time.

My New Study

We were able to turn some space in our garage into a small study. Here is T putting in the floor.

I painted the walls.

And the kids wanted to say hi.

My Daughter's Recital

Some photos from E's recital.
She did a dance called the lollipop medley. It was very cute and she did not have stage fright

My Kids Enjoying the Summer

Here are some photos from June

E and her snail collection:



Enjoying our Easter Lillies that bloomed late

The kids enjoying each other:

Playing in the front yard:

And enjoying the first corn of the season:

My Shoe Fashonista

I wish I kept a folder of all the photos of Z in my shoes. He loves to wear my shoes. High heels, mules, flip flops, sandals any kind of shoe as long as it is mine. These particular shoes are my heels that I wore to work that day. What is even cuter is that he has them on the wrong feet. It is so cute to see him shuffling along in shoes that are just so big on him.

My Lollipop Medley

Today E had her ballet class pictures taken. With full costume. And make up. And hair bow. And shoe ribbons. And gloves. And bow tie. And tap shoes. Did I mention the 10 other girls? And 10 other moms?

The ballet studio has individual pictures taken and then a class picture. The photos are taken by a professional photographer. You have to pay for the photos before you see them. I didn't care for this arrangement. But it worked out last year. And I watched the photo session this morning, they took about 5 photos of E before they were satisfied. It looks like it will be a cute photo.

Here is E in her costume. Her dance is called the Lollipop Medley (as in the song...lollipop, lollipop, oh lolli, lollipop)

And here is a photo of her class and her teacher. E is in the bottom row, third from the left.

My Ice Cream Makers

What do you do after you pick strawberries? You make ice cream? After eating most of the strawberries we picked, we cut the rest of them up and made ice cream!

The kids were a little leery about the ice cream maker, but they sure warmed up to it once they tasted what it produced!
