Cookie Cutters plus photo shoot!

This was a fun day!! Chrys and I took the kids to get their haircut at Cookie Cutters. We had been talking about how the kids needed haircuts and this came up. 10% of the proceeds went to the Children's Hospital in Peoria for the haircut, PLUS we got a small photo shoot. They are using some of the pictures for a head shot book for the hair place to show different styles. I tried to sneak a pic in of Moriah when she was getting pics, but it didn't turn out so well. the first one is Bella after her pictures. She finally got her sucker!

OK so here is the cool thing!! Take a look at her blog and you will see our friend Aaron!! he is the only boy in the 4 pictures from the Tuesday session. (on blue) May 16th post. I was soo happy to see him on there! I wish one of the girls would of gotten there too, but I am super excited for Aaron!! http://dawnbergeron.typepad.com/

Moriah's Pre-K program and Graduation

Monday night was Moriah's program. She did really good!! She knew all the words to the songs. Here are a few pictures from that night.

Happy Mother's Day!!

Thank you to all my friends that sent me Mother's Day wishes! My kids did not want to take a picture with me!:( Oh, well I can tell them one day how they were stubborn!! We had a great day; I got breakfast in bed, we went to church and Mikes mom and Craig joined us and then we came back home to have lunch with them. (It was a yummy lunch too!!) My kids made me cards and crafts at school this week so that was nice and on Wednesday (my Birthday) Mike is taking me to Bloomington to buy a bed for Les to sleep on starting next week, and to take me to eat!! (I get to go buy some new clothes too with my birthday money!!) I hope everyone had a great Mother's day. Enjoy the rest of it!!

Field Trip to Decatur Childrens Muesum

I got to go with Moriah on a field trip to Decatur yesterday and we had a great time!

Here are the lunches ready to go!

Moriah and her buddy Erin on the bus

WE MADE IT!! time for lunch!

The kids couldn't wait to play!! We spent two hours playing! Here she is checking out Caroline in the store.

Bubbles!

here is a puttet show that they put on and the cool magnets that you can connect

Moriah liked to paint rainbows

At when we were done we sat outside for a last snack and a class picture!

New Special request only bows!!

These are a few bows that I have been working on for special orders. Let me know what you think!

Our plumber friends!

I had to take a few pictures of our plumbers. Moriah became very good friends with them. Dan is the guy that is holding Moriah. He is a family friend and was very taken by her. She liked helping him out; she would clean up after them with her little dust pan and broom and Dan even let her help out with a few simple things!! He even fed her a chocolate long john donut for lunch!! Anyway I hope we (Moriah) enlightened his life for the week that he was here because next week he has an appointment to see about his surgery for his cancer. I wish him luck with the whole process!!

May day was a busy day for us!!

We started off the day like normal getting ready for school and then the doorbell rang. We had May day flowers on the front proch from Meghan! She was really cute hiding around the corner of the house! Then once Mike left to take the boys to school the concrete guys showed up!! We weren't expecting them to be here til next week, so we were excited!! So here are a few pictures of the guys digging out our sidewalk and driveway.

And yes they dug the whole sidewalk out by hand!! What a job!!

Ok so the next picture isn't the best, but Zack tried to get a picture of me getting Bella's handprint.And this picture is missing a hand I know, but when you have a child that doesn't like fingerpaint and to get all messy this is what you get, a missing child!! The penny in the middle is dated 2008 for the year we got the driveway and sidewalk done (I couldn't find a 2006 in time to put the year we moved in)
We also were surprised around lunch time we had another doorbell ring and it was more flowers!!! This time from Taylor!! Thank you little ones for the pretty flowers, now I need to get my flowerpots out and put them on my front porch!!
