May 30...150/365

Our summer has officially begun...lots of grilling and leisurely dinners on the back deck.

May 29...149/365

A new French Toast bake that Matt is trying.
Side note...this is my very first post from my new computer! Got all of my pics moved over and I'm figuring out how to keep my photos organized and upload them from iPhoto--so far so good.

Everyone's 6 month photo hangs right above the coat hooks in our hallway. Most days I walk right past them. Today I stopped for a minute to look. Wow...the years fly by.

I was planting flowers today and came across this rock. I showed it to Millie, thinking she'd want to take it inside and keep it in her "collection." Instead she said, "Oh, that's where I buried by pet caterpillar." Oops...

For a little over two years now, Matt & I have enjoyed cooking together and have taken on increasingly difficult recipes. This Friday for our anniversary Matt is taking the day off work and the two of us are attempting Julia's Boeuf Bourguignon.

Millie learned to play Blokus at school today, so we pulled ours out after dinner. Note...Quinn is also playing a game on his ipod between turns. Why do we always have to do multiple things at once??

Field trip to the Ronald McDonald house. They fill FOUR of these boxes
every week (yes, the box was almost as tall as Clara!)

May 15...135/365

Remember my "sneak peek?" Here it is!! Quinn's cello and I had a photo shoot out in the front yard a couple of weeks ago and this is the result. Can't see it clearly?
What makes this a special gift to my grandma is that she is a cellist and she gave this cello to Quinn last summer. I had never done anything like this before. It was a fun project and I'm tempted to try some more.

Mission Accomplished! Not my favorite Friday afternoon activity, but we have groceries now.

May 12...132/365

Not a good picture at ALL, but the best one of Zane's musical at school.

May 11...131/365

Clara's very last night ever of AWANA. Mrs. Davis has been her table leader for the last three years...a wonderful lady who has led an awesome group of girls!

May 10...130/365

Clara's happy nacho.

May 9...129/365

My destructive dog...she has a few issues to work out.

May 8...128/365

Can't wait to show everyone the other side of this photo...a gift for my Grandma. She's coming to the kids' orchestra concert on the 15th, so I'll reveal the other side then :o)

May 7...127/365

May 5...125/365

My table at our church's Women's Candlelight Dinner. My theme (for those who don't regularly play preschool games) is CandyLand.

May 4...124/365

Another class play. How odd is it that both Zane AND Millie ended up playing pigs in their class plays? Made it easy for Mom to figure out a costume, so I'm not complaining.

Decorating staff lounge for Teacher Appreciation Week

Getting ready to race...

Ready for the Math Pentathlon tournament. Disappointing day as far as the awards went, but Zane was a good sport and had a fun time anyway.

April 29...119/365

Running errands and found this for our neighbor who is having her
first communion this weekend.

April 28...118/365

Hey, Fam! Ever heard of this thing called a trash can!?!

April 27...117/365

My favorite...spicy chicken pizza!!

April 26...116/365

This is honestly the first time in my life that I've used either Cliff
Notes or Spark Notes. This is the book for book club this time and I'm
having a LOT of trouble with it!

April 25...115/365

This is Moses...he's in Tonks' dog class. Not the greatest pic, but
the only one I took today. This is a HUGE dog with an even HUGER
amount of hair.

April 24...114/365


Trying out Uncle Scott's theremin

Spring!

New anti-whining initiative. If she whines, she has to pull a red stick and deal with that consequence. If she handles something well she can pull a blue reward stick. It's helping so far...
