Prima Ballerina

Carsyn had her last dance class on Monday. Yesterday was her dress rehearsal for the recital which will be next Saturday. Jill and Luke came to watch the rehearsal...we saved Luke the pain of the two hour show next week. Here are some photos. She got a t shirt and medal at class. Then we took some photos before we left yesterday. She is center stage in her class. I don't mean to gloat, but she was definitely the best one out there...in fact you can ask Jill...there were only one or two other girls who had a clue what was going on. Please note the hair and makeup...it was a huge deal to Carsyn!

Why worry?

Here's my inspirational story for y'all. We have much to worry about...selling the house, buying a house, moving, new schools, money, and me finding a job. But I have been really trying not to worry...but to just pray to God to deliver our needs instead. Carsyn got this new bible for graduation and likes me to read to her. I found a passage in Luke about worry. Last night I read it to Scott. It basically was God saying we have little or no power compared to him so don't bother worrying, just pray instead.
Today we drove to Aledo to meet again with the realtor and seriously look at a house we thought would be perfect. And it was. We endedup putting a contingency offer on it...word on that and photos will follow later. It just seemed perfect...and as I was lookingand loving it and then thinking again about everything that has to workout in the next two months, you will not believe this.
Scott and I walked into the little girls' room. On her bed was a pillow that said:
Worry about Nothing
Pray about Everything

How awesome is that???

School Pictures...not so good

I also call this post "We Miss you AMY!!!" The girls got school pictures taken. I've become ultra picky thanks to Amy and these are so fake!!! I scanned them for you to see. What do you think?

What a Wonderful World

Today is just one of those good days so far. I have been really sick with strep since Wednesday and of course Scott was in F. Worth. I was so miserable. Then I had a reaction to the antibiotic and got very nauseous so was truly miserable by Friday night.

But now I am on a new antibiotic. My husband is home. The sun is shining. We have the bluest skies you've ever seen. People are finally looking at our house. And nature is alive everywhere. We skipped church sinceI am still not 100% better. Instead we had morning coffee beside the pool in our jammies while the girls played. We were all a mess but in love with our lives and each other. Here are some photos.

There's baby birds just hatched right outside our backdoor. Their mommy and daddy dive bomb us when we get too close. We also have lady bugs galore in the pool...we captured some in a container. Wasps are building their hives on the porch. Carsyn likes to pick flowers for me. And Payton goes back and forth from being a natural wonder to a natural disaster. (Can you tll mommy's been sick? It's been a while since the girls have bathed or brushed their hair!)

Graduation Day!

Today was preK graduation day. I absolutely love the daycare the girls go to. Carsyn's been there since she was 6 weeks old. She got a bible from the director. Here are some photos...Carsyn and her friends and teachers. I tried to take some of the ceremony but the lighting didn't cooperate with my camera.

Look What I Did...For $10!!!

I made this cute gift basket for my student teacher for only $10...I had everything laying around the house except the Starbucks gift card. She's getting married this summer so I made her all new stationary/teacher stuff with her married name. It was super easy and so cute!!!

Hair Help, Please!

Ok, I am usually really up on the hair thing, but I am a mess right now. I was doing the graduated bob thing. Apparently so is everyone else, soI find that annoying. Not to mention, I think it's a pain in the butt to maintain and style...not too many options with it. Not to mention I have't had anything done to my hair since Feb.2 so it is just a mess...so unlike me to neglect it this way!

Anyway, help me out. I want some sort of bang. Should I got for style #1 which is shorter? Or style number two,which is basically what I have now, but with bangs.

The shorter is soooo cute. But the medium could grow and it would be an easy summer style. What do you think?????



Style #1: see photo













Style #2: See link (it's style number 4...and not that hideous color)
