"I Love The Circus".

Here are the Elephants. And these are the beautiful white ponies.

There were dogs, horses and tigers too. Even a porcupine had an act! It was sooo cool to watch. During the pre-show, Natalie even got to jump rope with the Clowns. She was tickled that she was chosen:)

What a fun night! Ayumi, Stephen, Gaummie and Bunic all got to join us at "The Greatest Show on Earth". This was the second time we've all been together to see the circus. It was a lot of fun. The girls were even treated to GIANT lollipops. (They didn't part with them until they went to bed!)

Day at the "Beauty Salon"

Natalie has wanted her hair cut short for a while now. So, when I was trimming the girls hair, Natalie was VERY persistant at making it known she wanted her's cut short. Well, I decided that if she didn't like it...her hair could always grow out again:) To say the least, she loved her new haircut which came only 2 days after her buying a new headband!

First to graduate!!

...Preschool that is. The evening was one to remember--Jerry and I both got off work at 5:30 to have him then rush Kimberly and Natalie to Jazz class. Meanwhile, Courtney and I got ready for her program. An hour later, the rest of the family met us at her preschool for the service. She was sooo excited to be with her class and sing at Graduation. Kimberly and Natalie tried desperately to get Courtney's attention before she received her diploma. When Courtney finally saw her sisters waving, that made her night! After the emotions of this night...I really don't think I'm ready for a High School Graduation JUST yet! Let's keep them young a little longer:)

Mother's Day with my girls.

My 3 lovely daughters gave me this button, as my gift. Here's what the card read: "You can borrow this today if you want, MOM, but we'd really like to have it back tomorrow."

Happy Mother's Day

Ya gotta lov' em:) Well, to say the least, they did make the day be all about "ME"!

"PICNICING"

"PICNICING"-to ventur outside on the lawn with beach towel and take a book or journal to relax and enjoy the weather and cloud pictures. It was sooo fun. The first time out--we watched a storm pass over and played "guess the cloud shape". The weather was really nice as we lay on our backs to read and talk as a family. Of course, there was laughter and tickling involved! No one wanted to go inside for bedtime because it was truly enjoyable. This picture was Mother's day evening. We had to wear long sleeve shirts and pants along with our JACKETS and BLANKETS. Since the air was so much colder, everyone huddled together for shared body heat. No one ran around barefoot this time! BBrrr. We could ONLY image what the neighbors thought:) HAHA. What a wonderful family memory!

Finally Started

Well, here it is! As you can see, the girls are excited to start our family blog.
