Kimberly's birthday dress.

Gaummie surprised Kimberly with this beautiful spring dress for her birthday. It even came with her favorite kind of sleeves! How pretty.

Teaching the ART of babysitting.

Natalie enjoys helping out with Chris (4 1/2 months old) when she gets home from school. It's been such a joy to see how grown-up MY girls have become while helping out with other children:) This job has given me the chance to teach MY children the "how-to's" of babysitting first hand...and they get paid. WOW!! What a great deal for everyone! Courtney has really taken a liking to "babysitting" too. She takes it very serious. Courtney is reading her coloring book to Gabe (almost 4 yrs.) and Kaylie (almost 2 yrs.) after their nap time.

"You Make Me Feel Like a Star."

Kimberly and Natalie had such a great experience this spring learning to dance. They couldn't wait to get a copy of their song to bring home and practice!

Natalie and Kimberly pose on picture night prior to their first Jazz Recital. You can't tell they are thoroughly eating up all the attention:)

They had the best time dancing together these last few months!

"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"!
