A new 'do' & T-ball too....

Ashlyn decided that she has had enough of her long, un-managable hair & wacked it off! I think she looks adorable and a perfect length for the hot days of summer!
Also, T-ball season is here! This is Jayton's 2nd year of T-ball and you can tell that this year he has an idea on how to play the game. The team he played Tuesday night was hysterical! Everytime someone on Jayton's team hit the ball EVERY kid on the other team ran for the ball and then dog piled fighting for possesion.

Dance recital 2009

Taylor Swift.........

oh me oh my....

.....my life is busy, busy, busy! T-ball has begun for Jayton with two practices so far this week. Ashlyn is still in dance until her recital May 22, then we are done for the summer. Saturday I had my annual yard sale that is so much work I wonder why I do it every year- oh yeah- 'cha ching $$$'! Sunday I washed every window inside & out- I think we have like 15 windows! Then I trimmed bushes and sucked up pine needles and debris from the river rock! Monday I felt so old- I ached from the weekend chores....... I took tomorrow off to go with Ashlyn's class on their rendevouz. I guess we will milk a goat? make butter, rope making, candle making a wagon ride & who knows what else!? Then right after school Ashlyn & I are heading to Spokane for the Taylor Swift concert!! woo hoo! Saturday my best-est friend ever is having her baby shower- this is her first child and I have gone crazy buying her things. Can't help it, baby things are so adorable! Anyway, that is where I have been and what I will be doing. Busy, busy! I cannot believe school is almost OUT! which means summer is near, but what the heck?! it snowed in Moscow! Where is the darn sun? I am going to have to use my tanning bed more to cure my spring blues!!

Happy Birthday Jayton!

Today Jayton is 7 years old. I cannot believe how fast he has grown up!

teacher appreciation week

This week is teacher appreciation week and here is what I made for the kids teachers.......

For Jayton's kindergarten teacher (this is her 1st yr. of teaching!) I covered a wooden perpetual calendar with school paper. Used my cricut to create the numbers and used stamps to create the months. Jayton signed his name on the back. I think it turned out cute!

For Ashlyn's teacher I made a wooden 'grandkids' album. (They have these wooden albums at CPS in all different words- cabin, love, travel, fishing, etc. etc.- they can even create custom ones too.) Anyway, her 4th grade teacher has two grandchildren that she adores and I thought this would be a fitting gift that was not the typical apple/school type since she has been teaching many years. The Fancy Pants paper was a perfect fit for the wymsical feel.......
