O-dawg's 9th Birthday Party

For our family some kind of birthday party is a must! This year we kept it low key, but it was still a very good party. Owen was blessed to be with his best buddies, all very nice young men, and he had a good time!

One happy little boy!

The Speckled Driveway

...a child's kingdom!

 And after the slr was put away the camera phone came out to capture this:

Little Buddies

This one loves "Little Buddies". If you don't know what "Little

Buddies" are, they are anything to do with frogs and toads. She was in heaven this weekend when we found a little pool of water full of tad poles. And she was prepared. She had saved cups from the wedding the day before because she knew there was a possibility of catching a Buddy.

1st Piano Recital

The kids had their first piano recital. They each played 2 pieces and also played 2 duets.

It was music to our hearts!!

Such blessings!

Easter

We had a nice Easter Sunday lunch with friends from church...here's a picture of the craziness.

Five, Rock Star, and Hello Kitty

Here she is dressed like an 80s ROCK STAR!

This photo shoot fits her personality, fashion and musical taste to a 'T'!

And it's only appropriate for our 80s Star to have a HELLO KITTY party!

 It was a blast!

Happy ♥ day!

Watching Tricks

We ♥ Homeschool Tumbling!

It was the Valentine's party today, and that means it's a "watch day". Mommy takes her trusy point and shoot, daddy usually tags along, they do their "tricks", and then there's a party!

All 3 kids are in different classes...that'll make for an interesting recital!
