All the 3rd grade students pick a poem(most are able to memorize it) and all the mother's who are able, get to come and listen. This year Nicole recited hers with two of her friends.
May 8th & May 10th, 2009

EACH OF THE STUDENTS GREETED THEIR MOM WITH A CORSAGE THEY MADE! THEY WERE ALL SO CUTE!

on Mother's Day, the kids gave me all kinds of fun stuff(in the picture above). Nicole kept reminding the little boys about the "deal they had made last night" - I am assuming the deal had something to do with NO FIGHTING....GET ALONG! - definitely what a mom wants!
then real quick before church - I got them all to sit for a quick picture.......

The girl's and I attended the 2nd annual "Touch 1 Life" fashion show that my sister does to raise money for "Hope's Door" (a shelter for women & children). She does an amazing amount of work in order to put this on. I admire her dedication to help other people who are in such great need! It is sponsored by her studio "Studio D" and all of the sylists there (which include her husband,Victor, & her son, Britton.

May 15th, 2009 - brought us Eric's 6th grade field trip. This is an activity the little boys & I have enjoyed tagging along to. (Ryan was at Kindergarten this time and didn't get to go - boy was he bummed!)
