He is risen!

Ellee made this in Preschool and is able to tell about how Jesus Has Risen!

Coloring Easter Eggs

More of Ellee's Preschool work!

my latest projects

These are a few of the things I have been working on lately....

Spray painting paper mache eggs and adding rub-on stickers. A big Thank You to my model in this picture!

I'm not sure what to call these....I got the idea from other blogs I have been reading. Picture/recipe holder??? I made this one for my teaching partner's Birthday. All the pieces on it are wood, so I had to prime, paint and sand the edges. The picture on it is of our new nephew, Landon. I just got his announcement in the mail today and had to try it out on the board. Isn't he cute? His Mommy, Katie, took the picture and her cousin Jami made the hat!

Sorry for the bad lighting and shadows.

I have a few other things I'm working on....just not quite finished yet!

Preschool Spring Sing

The classes at Ellee's preschool sang at Church and were so adorable in the shirts their teacher's helped them make! Ellee knew all the words and even the motions to the songs...I was a proud Mama!

Trenton Thunder

How is my Baby Boy old enough to be on a Little League Baseball Team?

Well he is and is absolutely loving it! Daddy-O is even one of the coaches.

The first couple weeks of baseball consisted of 2 days a week practice. The season kicked off with a Jamboree and this is one of the games the boys played in. Now the kids will have 2 games a week between now and the first week in June.

Jackson's first at bat!

He got a hit and made it to first base!!!!

The boys switch positions every inning and towards the end of the game Jackson asked to be catcher! How cute is he?!?!

Melts my heart!

A Trenton Thunder Groupie!

Since Jackson is in a 6/7 year old league, it's coach pitch, they keep score, can strike out and can win, lose or tie. He played baseball the last 2 summers where score wasn't kept and a kid couldn't strike out (the tee would be brought out) so we (Daddy-O) thought he was ready. After seeing him in his first game, I totally agree! He's having a blast!

oh and they won 5-0. Shawn said the kids ask if they won between every inning and he said all of their coaches respond with, "it doesn't matter, are we having fun?"

The Birthday Party Invite!

Daffodil Parade 2011

I am so glad going to the Parade has become a tradition for our Family! The kids always have a blast with their cousins and a few of their friends and it brings a little of that small town feeling to me. Ellee enjoyed seeing all the princesses and clowns this year and Jackson enjoyed the pirates along with the clowns. The rain held off this year (surprise, surprise....it's been a long cold, wet winter here) but it was still a little cold. I am not complaining. We considered this a "nice" day!

A Girl and Her Dog

Ellee will not leave the dog alone....Secretly I think the dog likes it because she gets so much "attention." Ellee could spend an entire day chasing, hugging, laying on, disciplining (she tries to put her face in a corner if Rylee isn't following her directions), treating her like her baby, locking her in her bedroom, playing fetch and hiding under my bed with her!

It's pretty exhausting for ME!
