Last Day of School


I took the girls out to frozen yogurt to celebrate their last day of school! They both really worked hard this year. They had 2 of the hardest teachers and a lot was expected of them. Nice work!

Memorial Day


David Estes and his sons put a flag on my grandparents' grave for us. They do it every year. Cori said it well, "I had the best grandparents in the world. Missing them so much today after having received this picture. They would have done anything for their grandchildren. We were so lucky to have been blessed with them."

Glasses Buddies!


Emma just got glasses! She was nervous but actually really likes them! She picked them out herself-- she really wanted some that were orange, her favorite color.

Cori was feeling homesick. . .


So I facebooked her this pic, because 80's sweaters with cats AND cat tails-- need I say more?

Found these today...


These are from about 4 years ago. Ha ha!

 

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Not that the red was bad, it just didn't go with my decor very well. I painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, which is awesome because there is no priming needed. (I mixed 2 colors: Antibes Green & Aubusson Blue).

Alan's 35th Birthday!


I surprised Alan with a trip to San Francisco to see one of his favorite artists-- Bela Fleck.



Mother's Day


I've been very blessed to have such a kind, caring mother. We love you, mom!

The girls made me many wonderful cards: 


They worked hard in the office and I wasn't allowed to come in! 

These cards they made really touched me. I'm so thankful for my 2 beautiful babes!








Alan gave me a wonderful massage, a sweet card, and dark chocolate-- my favorite!

Brooke also lost a tooth on Mother's Day!

Brookie's Broken Heart


Brooke did something she felt bad about (I can't remember what) so she took a marker and drew a broken heart on her shirt to express her sadness. It was too cute!
