You get the limo out front....

Happy Birthday Ally!!!
Ally is 8 today. Hooray Ally! She's such a cool kid. We had another rockin' birtyday party this year.

Kai wanted to be in the room with the girls, but he was bugging them so I told him if he wanted to remain in the room with them, he'd have to have a makeover. What a compromise! lol He promptly removed all makeup and the wig as soon as the pic was taken. lol

Just messing around....

Then we got all dolled up for a night out on the town and the Hannah Montana movie
<
Those girls had a BALL! They sang along with Taylor Swift all the way to the theater, they waved at cars and enjoyed parading on the Main Street sidewalk. They got tons of smiles, honks, waves, laughs and people telling them they looked great. It was such a fun time.

Hippity Hoppity Easter's on its Way.....

Happy Easter!

Easter morning 2009 dawned bright, beautiful, wet and chilly. The bunny had found its way to our yard and did its thing. Kai and Kenyon had a great time finding eggs and didn't want to stop after we'd found all 8 dozen eggs. Coloring them was great fun with Grizz and Cindy, but finding them was MUCH more fun.





Karter and Ally had to work a bit harder to find their 2 dozen eggs....


"I don't see any eggs, mom!"




"OH! Now I'm catching on...."


We spent about an hour out looking for eggs and finally gave up with 2 still missing. And then the fog rolled in.


But, it quickly burned off, the sun came out and the rest of the day was BEAUTIFUL. It was quite warm, actually. So, we went over to mom's and found more eggs.

The Rook kids, Sierra and Teddy






Lots of interesting places to find eggs at Narsh's house.

On random pieces of equipment and junk....




Under horse trailers....


In bird's nests....


In haystacks...


Check out the hat and earrings. The Easter Bunny's got style!


Grizz and Teddy...I love them.


So much!


Just a little hair nibble.... lol


Taking an Easter drive....


Ally the chauffeur.




She's a maniac...maniac...maniac..I sure know..... LOL Lovin' the legwarmers!


Looking outside for the kids.


Happy Easter!

Spelling Bee

The 1st and 2nd graders at Neola Elementary had their annual spelling bee the other day. Ally, our 2nd grader, did well. She got really easy words like "also" and "good'. They ran out of time, but that was probably good because Ally and a couple of kids in her class could've gone on for a long time with words like that.

Ally in spelling bee line, waiting patiently. That's Chase on her right and Rhett on her left. Ooooo....she got to sit by RHETT!! lol ;-) (she's had quite a crush on Rhett this year)


Fixing her hair...gotta look GOOD when you spell.


GOOD, G-O-O-D, GOOd....


That's my girl! Always a lil' wink for me.


Kenyon was a good boy. He sucked his fingers and waited it out. That's what he does...sucks his fingers. He's not a thumb sucker. No way...gotta have those 2 fingers with the permanent tooth marks in them.



UGH! WHO FARTED!??? (I thought this was hilarious! Those kids were plugging noses, fanning the air, sticking faces in shirts....FUNNY!)

Spring done Sprung...

Ahhhh...a refreshing spring day in the Basin....
