This is a giant wisteria vine that I thought was so beautiful!!

The Butterfly Chairs!!

Ring around the Rosies

Our little one LOVES songs- especially ones with actions--- like "Ring around the Rosie" but- seriously, who started the trend of singing that morbid song to children?? In efforts to revamp the song to a more positive message here is what me and my mom came up with!! I hope your kids enjoy the new lyrics.....

"Ring around the Rosie, pocket full of posies, Spring time, Spring time, the rain falls DOWN!"

Peace

I am grateful for modern day Prophets and revelation. Here are a few great talks that have brought me peace in the midst of all that our world, nation and economy are facing.

Party!

Rylan got invited to his first birthday party!! Thanks Tomsen & Happy 3rd Birthday! We had a blast....here are a few of the pics and videos from Chuck E Cheese! Rylan loved the show, music, and disco lights not to mention all the "kiddie rides"......

O.C.D.

This is a funny video that I finally downloaded.....out of the blue he picked up the dish towel and went around in a mad frenzy "cleaning" up everything.....like mother like son....I guess I wipe down his toys to much!! ( the video cut off so please excuse my commentary... )

Let's go fly a kite......

Austin had it's annual Kite Festival. It was so much fun to see so many kites soaring at one time! Of course there were many tangles and lots of string everywhere but everyone had high spirits and was enjoying themselves!!! It was a blast to watch people of all ages participating in such a fun&simple activity!! Russ and I resolved to fly kites more often and take time to enjoy some of the simple pleasures of life!
