It's always nice to be with family....

and some days it is especially nice!

Dance Recital in Riverton

There were tutus and tap shoes, make-up and flower bouquets! It was fun to see the girls dance and to play with Brailee and Trysten shout. See what makes me smile.....

Oh NO! I didn't get any pictures with Bri or Trysten, but I did get lots of hugs, smiles and kisses.

Baby Trish

Look how she's grown! She's walking now and you should hear the stories she tells!

not OreOs - ORIOLES!

come have a snowcone, play dingle balls and watch the beautiful birds in the backyard!

we have blue jays, robins, hummingbirds, and we won't talk about the starlings.

Sew Cool!

Jessie and Hannah came over for a visit and sewing lessons. I think Hannah gets the hang of it and Jessie is doing all right too ;-)

Lesson #1 - a cute flirty apron

What Makes Me Smile

Family, babies, snuggling with grandchildren, making suncatchers, and of course Bunny Wars! Well, actually the bunny wars made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe!

Christopher Takes The Cake!

Kathy and I had so much fun - oh, and LR too ;-) making Wedding Cake Cookies. Won't they look beautiful in a pretty celophane bag? They will be the place cards for the wedding luncheon on Friday. It's a good thing they are too pretty to eat because I don't like the taste of royal icing :-P

Ro's Shelves

Since we've had a snowy spring break and LaRon wasn't able to golf - he spent some time in the woodshop with his Dad making some shelves for Ronal. I like the ones he built for me in January and I hope Ro's shelves find a happy home too!

Calligraphy Project

My pens and ink have been boxed up for a long time! So I was a little nervous when Bethany asked me to write in her wedding guest book. SHE MADE THE BOOK and it is BEAUTIFUL! I've taken a mini class on book binding - but she learned the "real" way - even the braid at the top of the book was hand sewn.

Just in case anyone who knows notices that my practice/ink blot page has the wrong date - not to worry - I figured that out before the ink touched the book! PHWEW!!!

I found the perfect color green ink and washed up the nibs - and after clearing the bar and a spot of uninterrupted time so I could focus, I finally got it done. I hope she is happy with how it turned out. I'm looking forward to their wedding in a week!

Spring Break!

The pictures say it all.......

April 16 - this is what we woke up to! My poor little peach tree.
