Crazy Hair Day
The next to the last day before school - Crazy hair day. We found most of her pony tails and put them ALL in. The addition of her bright green poofy barrett in the front was just like icing on the cake. She loved it. I had to take a picture at night because I was scared - very scared of what it was going to be in the morning. It survived.
Now - the last day of school. How did that happen. I just dropped her off for the first day. It can't be the last day. A 1st grader, oh my. My little princess is growing up.

MINE!!!!
Virgel is dying to get his hands on this computer. I have told him - NO Mine!
I guess I will play nice and share, tomorrow! :)
Gymnastics Recital
Ani had her recital for gymnastics last night. She did very well and has learned a lot. She is really enjoying it and the friends she has made.
Momma's boy
Silly pictures
Ani wanted to take pictures of us together, so I just held out the camera and this is what I got. I like it - not a bad mother's day picture!
Tractor
This was Virgel's tractor when he was little and Ruston loves playing with it. He loves making it go down the slide.
Hair DO!

My Scrapbook Room
Well, some of you have asked for pictures of my scrapbook room, so here they are. I have rearranged a couple of times now and did again just today to include a space for Ani. She is now getting her own supplies and it is time for her to have her own area. I am still in need of closet doors and trim work. We didn't worry with it this winter due to the bitter cold. I didn't want to make a mess cutting the work inside, so I decided we would live without it a little longer. So, here are the pictures. I really love my space, and I love that Ani shares it with me.
Supply wall
I have all my paper along this wall. Does the paper rack look familiar Amy? I love it, so worth the wait. My wood shelves are awesome and special. It was originally a curio that belong to my Mom. The doors had been damaged for years and didn't open properly, so I removed them, cleaned it up and now it is used and more appreciated than it has been in years. I hope she would have approved.
Ani's space
I had to make room for Ani. She has to work with me now. It is easier for her to have her own table AND supplies.
computer zone
I have my computer, printer and cricut all here and easy to work on. The next thing I want is a the Cricut design studio! I can't wait.
My table
My table was a great deal at a furniture store. It had a scratch on it so I got it for $100!!! AWESOME. It is counter height which I love. I can easily sit or stand to work on my pages.
The hunt
It wasn't terribly cold outside, but we went ahead and hunted eggs down stairs. They had fun and lucky for us - found all the eggs!
Coloring eggs
Time again to color eggs. This was the night we got back from CoCo Keys. They were a little tired. But the eggs were all colored and ready for the bunny!
CoCo Key
So no Key Largo, but the indoor water park CoCo Key is suppose to have a Key's feeling. We spent the night in the hotel connected to the park and let the kids play. We had a lot of fun and WORE the kids out. when we got home the kids slept for 12 hours straight.
Colddddd
I wanted a cute picture. I got this one. She was just too cold to stand still for very long. O.k. go run get back on the slide!
Down together
Another slide and 1,2, t. h r. ...e. e. .. It was really cold. These two were really freezing. Not to mention Virgel and I!
Protective
Ani is so protective of Ruston. She watches over him so closely and makes sure no one gets in his way or hurts him. She gets so upset if he gets hurts. I love how close they are. They are really lost without each other.
SLEEP OVER!
Yep. Ani wanted a sleep over party. So three of her friends stayed the night. What an adventure. Of, course Ruston was never far away. They had a great time. The basement was totally destroyed by morning, but they had a great time.
Happy Birthday, Ani
While we were singing Happy Birthday to Ani. She LOVES the attention. I am so proud of my little girl. She is growing up to be a good girl, smart, polite, and beautiful - inside and out. What more can I ask for.
The one to watch
No he may not look like much, but for us he is the one to watch. Ani came home a couple of week ago with a paper heart. It had I luv you written on it. This little boy was the author. Our only hope at this point is that Ani still considers Brad in Florida as her boyfriend, so she can't have any others! but - we are watch - closely!!!!
