Mrs. Baker - This One's For You!

Tonight was Bella's Spring Program at preschool. Each class sang a special song they have been practicing. Mrs. Baker, one of Bella's fabulous teachers, (and if you ask me, the reason she adjusted to preschool so well) took a leave of absence April 1st. She is in West Virginia helping her daughter with her premature twin baby girls that were born early this year. While she is VERY happy to be loving on those grandbabies, I know she is missing her class terribly. So, here you go Cheryl. They did a great job tonight!!

Thank You Easter Bunny

What a great Easter weekend! Thank you to everyone for all you did to make our Easter special.

Before church.

Classic Kenna. This is how she directs us most of the time. Notice the shoe choice. "I wear clip-clops" (translation flip-flops) is what she says. I did change them before we went into the Easter Sunday Service.

Enjoying candy from the all you can eat candy buffet.

Hunting eggs at G. and Pappa's.

Dyeing Easter eggs in our backyard last week. They each got 6 eggs. When I went inside to get something Kenna had cracked and opened all hers. She said "Where is my surprise?"

These pictures below are just some assorted snapshots from March that I thought were blog worthy.

Spring Break Road Trip

We loaded up the tahoe with grandma & grandpa, boarded the dogs, and off to Oklahoma we went! Thanks to a mini DVD and gum as bribery, the girls did better than me in the car.

I will have to get back to you on how long we had to be in detox after spending 6 days with grandparents, great grandparents, and spoiling uncles.

I regret that I did not get any pictures of little Macy Ann. I know some of you remember her. She is the little pomeranian I had when I was in college that went to live with my grandparents after I graduated. I can only report back that she is living the good life and is without question the most spoiled doggie in Kingfisher, OK.

Eating dinner at the lake the night before we left at at a table for two.

Happy fisher people.

More serious fisher people.

Kenna and Bella after a 500 mile trip. Happy to be a Granny & Papa's in the swing.

Painting their bird houses that Granny bought. This is one of those pictures that Bella will ask me to get rid of when she gets older.

Kenna and I swinging in the swing that I used to swing on when I was a little girl. If I remember right, I used to swing my Grandma to Disney Land.

Bella posing with the ceramic Easter Bunny that my grandma made when I was probably pretty close to Bella's age.

Kenna and Grandpa making ice cream.

Kenna kissing Papa. You know he is the only one that understands her. ( a little inside joke )

Kenna spots the desserts.

Kenna sticks her finger in the dessert.

I think her exact words were 'That yummy!'

Painting their toes in the sunroom. Granny let them paint her toes too. She is brave.

It's hard to find luggage this cute at the store.

Thank You Santa

FINALLY the weather is getting nice enough that we can get outside and I can get some use out of my new camera!!!

Shhh!! Don't Tell Bella....

Sometimes while Bella is at school, we play with her stuff. Today it was the hair color change Barbie Santa brought. She colored Barbie's hair pink and orange, and then glittered Barbie and herself.

How could you say no when it makes her so happy??

Pray for Layla

I do not know Layla or her family personally. They are from Cypress, TX and I found out about them through a friend of a friend. Layla is exactly 4 days younger than Kenna (she was born December 16th, 2007) and is losing her battle with cancer. Her family keeps a blog, and since I found out about her I have not slept well or a day gone by that I have not thought of what she and her family are going through. While we are dealing with terrible two's that really aren't that terrible, and a four year old who wants to wear her bathing suit everywhere, their sweet little baby is dying of cancer. It's not fair.

This has put alot of things in perspective even more for me.

Please pray for peace for Layla Grace and her family. If you would like to donate you can do so here http://laylagrace.org/. All money goes towards her medical expenses.

Our Blessing

Bella learned this blessing at school, and they sing it before snack and lunch. It has become popular around here too, and Kenna even knows it. Mrs. Frank and Mrs. Baker will be proud!
