Career Day

This week at school the kids had career day. Riley said he will be anything that "starts with a rock and ends with a star". Baylee was a veterinarian. They had so much fun at school that day to say the least.

Art Show

This week Baylee's art was chosen to be in the district art show at a local bank. She was so excited to see her art on display. It is the one of the planets. Since the state no longer pays for art teachers we in the PTA raise funds each year to pay our wonderful art teacher. This next week we are collecting funds for our "walk for art". June 3rd will be our walk a thon at school. If you would like to contribute to the walk a thon we would love your donation. It is tax deductable as we have a tax ID# for you. You can make a pledge for laps or give a flat donation. You can mail them to our home address or paypal it to my email. The kids are really excited because they love the art classes and the PTA is giving out really great prizes to the kids who raise the most money. Thanks for considering.

Puppy Craft

Here is a cute little craft I came across at the book store the other day.You use pipe cleaners to make the dog, then take eyelash yarn to make the fur. Then you give your dog a little cut and put on some eyes and a nose. Add a collar or leash if you like. Wallah you have a dog that is well behaved, imagine that.

Morning At The Park

Asher just loves a good park. Actually he likes anywhere that has a drinking fountain. Not to drink the water, but to push that amazing big button that makes the water splash out and cause a screeching squeal of delight. What fun it must be to be almost two. He has been up to so much lately. He loves to run and play with his big brother, he loves to hear stories at night from his big sis, and he never goes to sleep without saying night night to everyone, and he always says after you give him a kiss "and a hug" it sort of sounds like "annahough". So so cute. He has been talking so much lately, or at least trying to. He loves our dog Abby like crazy. He gives her kisses and hugs all day. I am trying to teach him we don't kiss the dog on the lips. He gets so happy when he sees his Dada. They are so close it is a wonderful thing to see. I am sure it won't be long till he gets his special trip to the Dodger game with dad. Of course there are always those special times that only Mama will do. He could sit and cuddle with me forever, I love it. I can hardly believe that in only a couple more months he will be two. The days can seem long, but the years seem so short.

Huntington Library

Last week Jeff and I took the kids over to he Huntington Library. We always enjoy going there and so do the kids. We saw this really cute mama duck and her ducklings in the Chinese gardens. Soon the kids got hungry and that led to fighting and crabbiness so we left and had lunch at our favorite place Islands.

Easter

Finally I get the Easter pictures up. The kids had a great time. We went to church just right up the street here, (daddy had to work), then we came home and did lots of egg hunts and had a ham dinner. The kids loved all the candy, especially Asher. I would not ordinarily give him any candy but every time I saw him he had something in his mouth. I don't know where he was even finding it all. Even now weeks later Jeff and I have both caught him with a little chocolate egg in his mouth. You know it's in there when his lips are pursed and he runs when he sees you look at him.
