20/12 Anniversary

20 years ago I met my best friend, 12 years ago we married.. Happy Anniversary Honey..

Shining Star

Ethan and Madeline both got to be Star of the week this month at their school.
This is the poster I made for Madi. She thought it was so neat to see all these pictures of her. She contributed by making the orange butterfly cutout on the bottom right.

Ethan got to create his own poster to take to school and hang in his class. He had it all filled out and colored the first day he received it and couldn't wait for everyone to see it.

May

Madi's dance class had a Mother's day tea where we got to watch the girls practice their dance and eat goodies.. She was excited to have me and grandma there watching.

How can it be, my baby turned seven. Ethan had two parties this year. One at home with some family and the other at his request at the IF Gymnastics ctr. They do everything there for you, cake, pizza, conduct etc. Ethan got lots of nice gifts and an array of Star Wars paraphernalia. For about three or so weeks he changed his name to Luke and of course Madi had to follow suit as Princess Leia.

Nice day in April

We had one nice day in April, and it just happened to be our girl's night family bbq. Me and my IF girls try to get together once a month and catch up or get away :-).. I have known these ladies pre-children, so many many moons ago.. We have had lot of good times together and memories (our late teens/twenties lol) I forgot to get a pix of our men, sorry guys..

Darci from Wizard of Oz

Madi got to dress up for spirit week at school. Dress up day was her fav, she got to be "Darci" (as Madi calls her with a bit of an accent) from the Wizard of Oz.
Can't forget Toto.

Ethan wanted in on it too.

Izzy the real Toto doggy.. ;-)

Moab, Easter & Twilight

Cousin Jaxon had a sweet Twilight birthday party at Papa Tom's. Of course we had to come in Twilight attire.

We had an awsome Easter dinner at G-pa & G-ma Waldron's in Pocatello.
