Sweet Annie

Meet our families new addition. Annie is just a baby, her first birthday is in September. She came from an amazing bird store that had her hand trained, it was the best pet shop I've ever been to.

 We have had her a few weeks now and she is the high light of our lives, she is fun and full of awesome attitude.

 Annie's first bath, so cute!!!

 I'm in love, Chris is in love, Taylor is in love and Masie and Hailey love from a distance.

 She joins us at every meal, she is part of us.

 She joined the girls in drawing a picture.  She stole their pens and screamed at them when they took hers, it was pretty funny.

 Chris loves that Annie sings and dances when he plays guitar.

Farewell Wall

We were very much loved at BV New Mexico

 

 

 This Winnie the Pooh latch hook was what I did when I was pregnant with Masie. Took forever, I was all excited when I found it while unpacking.

Masie got this cute one fore Christmas, she was in love with idea and completed the first line....... And the last stitch, yup the rest was done by me:)

Masie's 5th Grade Graduation- Buena Vista Elementary

 

Masie was so very upset when we suggested leaving before the end of the school year at Buena Vista. She has been there for almost 6 years, it was very important to her to finish with her friends.  When things got to the point when I knew we had to leave early, Masie was crushed. I was in pain watching what our decision was doing to her.

 I asked her why she wanted to stay until the end. Her answer was simple, "Mommy, I just wanted to graduate 5th grade with my friends." Wait..... I can do that, and I can do it better than the school!!

We started planning........ Oh how she was happy.

I even got photos from the parents of the graduates, a 5th grade picture and a toddler picture. I collaged them together and it was the perfect touch.

I bought some certificates and rolled them with a poster of the collage for each girl and tied it together with matching ribbon to look like a scroll.  I called their names and graduated them right there in the park.

It was pure FANTABULOUS.

Such a great party but better yet it gave Masie that closure that she needed.
