Recital Time

It is always so fun to watch Jenny on stage. One of the best things is that she always gets flowers from Daddy after the show. We are proud of all her hard work this year.

Presidential Academic Excellence Award

Jenny was awarded the Presidential Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence. We are so proud of her!

Ooops!

I guess I better document that Jenny fell off the trampoline and broke her arm last week. Actually, she SLID off the trampoline. She was leaning over the side to pick up Cupcake and went over the edge. Of course it is her right hand! It is a good thing she is such a good student-this really made school harder!

Mother's Day

There is so much that makes Mother's Day wonderful. My children are GREAT and make me so happy. Being a Mom is THE BEST!!! My mom is AMAZING. I come from a long line of great mothers and hope I can live up to the EXAMPLES they have set. My sweet husband is FANTASTIC...he sent me flowers for mother's day even though he was out of town. And I have a SUPER-TALENTED mother-in-law who has many qualities that I would like to develop in myself. One day is probably not enough to celebrate the difference a GOOD woman can make. THANKS to all the Moms that have influenced my life.

Santa Monica Beach...

Emily is always ready for adventure. The day was overcast and cool but Emily was not going to miss her day at the beach...

she headed straight for the water!

Jenny was a little more careful...

at first....

then she could not resist either!

The real Jenny comes through here!

Emily wanted to dig until she got to the water. When she makes up her mind she really goes for it! Thank goodness Daddy was there to help.

Legoland

Legoland was a blast! Cody was the ultimate tour guide and made sure the girls enjoyed their trip. The miniature buildings were amazing and of course we had to get some apple fries.

HOLLYWOOD

I don't know what to say about Hollywood...let's see...weird, interesting, bizarre, dirty. This is why you do well in school people! You do not want to end up on Hollywood Blvd. except to say "Been there, done that".
