more lagoon fun

swimming!

Desi, Lindzi and Miranda

We went swimming at Michele's on Thursday. It was a lot of fun. Lindzi wasn't too sure about the water at first, but once i got in the pool, she warmed up to the idea and was kicking around. Another friend, Diana, was there with her girls and a few extras so the girls all had a good time.

Room make over II

I made the curtains for the scrap room today. They turned out pretty cute, considering I only sew if I have to and if it's an easy job... like straight lines for curtains. I don't do patterns or anything fancy. Also I bought another table and set it up for a larger work area. I had to move that cupboard to the other wall to make it work. Yay I am done with this project!!

Room Make Over

I have been very busy painting and moving into my new scrap room. It's been a lot of work and it's almost done. Here are some pics to show the progress.

This is a before picture.... there are two holes behind that punching bag that i had to patch.


Here we were in the process of taking down the border.

Painting the primer on.

Now we are paiting the new colors: pink and brown!

This is Desi helping out.

Next we put on tape for some fun stripes.

more taping.

the stripes... freshly painted.

We added a tan stripe in the middle on every other one. I will post some more pictures once i completely finish moving everything in. Keep scrolling down to see a few more pics.

what do you think?

They hatched!

Well the baby birds hatched!! They aren't too cute yet... but hopefully in time. It's still pretty cool that they hatched.

She's 18 months!

Lindzi's 18 month pics turned out soooo cute!! Don't you agree?

Desi Graduates!

Wow I cant believe that Desiree is now going to be going to the BIG junior high. I don't think I am ready for all of that. But, ready or not, here she comes! Maybe I will get used to the idea over summer break... we'll see. Anyway the sixth graders had a nice little program. They had a few student speakers and an adult speaker, lots of song and a DVD slide show. It was very nice. Thank goodness my friend Wendy brought her camera because I ran out the door without mine. Wendy also put together these cute little frames. I got the pictures developed and they are soo cute. Check out the picture below.

Desi Graduates from the 6th grade!

isn't it so cute!!

Brooklyn, the tree climbing wonder, found this cute little nest in our cherry tree. We keep checking up on it every few days much to the mama bird's disliking. John would rather not have them there because he thinks they will eat all the cherries up. But oh well... the girls and I are enjoying it and are excitedly waiting for them to hatch! We'll keep you posted with further news once it happens.

a cute sister pic

The girls decided to wear their matching outfits today.... so i had to take a picture of course. Notice Lindzi's nose. It's her latest boo boo. She scraped it on the sidewalk. That girl trips over air!!!

Kassidy's kindergarten program

Kassidy's class did a cute little program. John was here for it, and my mom was able to come and watch. Kassidy did a great job!

Race Pictures....sort of

Here are two links for the photos from the race. The one I am in the background almost to the finish line. If you scroll down once you click the first link and then click on "previous or next" there are actually 3 pictures of me in the background of that same kid. It's kind of funny because no one in my family who came to the race actually saw me cross it!! So this is the closest picture i have of me running in the race and about to cross the finish line. My official time was 27:19... so not to bad. I can't post the actual pictures because the site wont allow you to copy them... so this is as good as it gets.
