Prom update

I had to steal these off of Hannah's facebook :( but at least I have these!

Tay and Hannah getting ready

Hannah, Sarah, Taylor...........................Sarah, Taylor, Hannah

And here's the whole group! They look BEAUTY-ful and I'm sure they all had a great time! I hear there was lots of dancing!

GOOD Times!!

They grow up way too fast don't they??

Hannah's makeover

So, this is Hannah (no, not Hannah Montana! Izabella wanted me to make that clear!) Izabella will give anyone and everyone a make over and Hannah was her next victim, I mean client. :)

This is the "pretty" makeover...

And this is the scary makeover...

We enjoyed having Hannah visit and hope that Taylor brings her back with her sometime, she's a very good sport!

Neighborhood riff raff.....

So, most weekends (when the weather cooperates!) we hang outside with a bunch of freaks while the kids play...between the 4 houses there are 11 kids, from 11 months to 15 years. 10 girls and one poor boy, I guess I should call him young man now. He is great with all the younger kids, one of them is his sister :) It's unusual for Steve to be home on a weekend but last week was Izabella's spring break so he was home and got to play too! Anyway, it's rare that we have a camera out but we did this one weekend, there are a few people missing cause they don't like their picture taken so we left them out...(and my double chin is the reason I'm not in more of them!)

Always good company and good conversation.........lots of laughing!!

This is Karen and Matt, she's trying to eat Soxy's treats! I told you they were a bunch of freaks! She's got 3 girls. Carolyn, Margaret and Alice.

Then Sandra, who most of you know anyway.

She belongs to Christina and Robert!

who's the creep with the crazy eyes?

Momma's sweet angel...

after a little dress up / make over fun!

Happy Easter......

Time to color the Easter Eggs....always a good time!

We had our 6th annual Easter Egg hunt put on by the city at the park in our subdivision. It's so convenient that we can just walk from our house. It turned out to be a beautiful day (except for the pollen - aaachooo!) But despite that, we had a great time and tried to spend as much time outside as possible. Here are a few pictures....and the video shows how much fun was had by ALL. I always forget my ear plugs....

Izabella's class had an Easter party on Friday before Spring Break started. It's rare that Steve is in town for any of her parties but he was for this one and so we both went. They got to decorate Easter egg cookies. From the pictures below you might wonder how so many people would fit into one class room. This is the most parents I've ever seen show up at any of them. It was fun and then Izabella got to come home early and start her week vacation...

Crafting...

So, a few weeks back Izabella and I put together a little "mirror" drape for this little window in our kitchen that we never did anything with when we moved in. It's in the kitchen and looks out into our back yard so it doesn't really need covering. I saw these in a friends house and when I asked her where she got them she told me she made them and how (thanks Holly!). They were so easy and quick and Izabella even got to help me. She was in charge of the hot glue gun. They look really cool at night when it's dark out and the light over the sink it on, they almost twinkle :)

Art class...

One weekend Izabella and I sat down for a little Art class. Only Izabella was the teacher and Momma was the student. What fun! You may not be able to see it right away but this is a picture of me as seen by Izabella. It probably took us 1 1/2 hours to finish this, she would draw something then I would have to draw the same thing. It now resides on our refridgerator. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Izabella's is on the left and mine is on the right. If you double click on the picture it will enlarge. It's a keeper :)

Fancy Nancy :)

A few weeks ago, Izabella got to go to school dressed up as her favorite book character. At the time that was FANCY Nancy! (thank goodness because we were also reading the Captain Underpants series, I was worried for a minute ;) For those of you that don't know about her, it's the cutest book ever and if you have a little girl they are just the greatest. Here's the end result...
