More cute pics....

I LOVE my little neice, Emma. She is 22 months old and she and Devyn get along really well. If Dev is out of sight, Emma says "where Dev go?". My brother, sis-in-law, and Emma went with us to Kidspace today. Devyn and my other neice, Amanda, (age 11) played with Emma. Here are some pics- (the guy is my brother, the pic of the girls together is Dev with her two cousins :)

I haven't had any baby/toddler pics to scrap for a while so Emma is my new victim- I mean "subject".

Exhausted!

WHEW! The last days have killed me! My husband's family is visiting from Seattle. We have done Disneyland, Knott's, The Pirate Dinner Show, Kidspace Museum in Pasadena, the Swap Meet, and various swimming, shopping and eating activities. It would be hard doing these things alone but I don't tolerate heat well-it makes me grumpy (o.k.....grumpier)!!! After the museum today we went to Old Towne Pasadena and had Frozen Yogurt. My daugter and niece had to use the bathroom. Every door said "no public bathrooms". We asked people and FINALLY found a bathroom through a courtyard near the movie theater. However, it was not even marked. We had to ask numerous people. I thought my daughter was going to pee her pants! So frustrating. I hesitate to ever consume any foods or liquids when in Pasadena again....Anyways, here are pics from the pirate show and the kids museum. If you haven't been....you should go! We were there for almost 4 hours! The water features were a hit by I was surprised how much the big kids enjoyed riding big tricycles with helmets on!!!

Recital

June 12, 2008

One studio recital down, one studio to go. Glad that is done. Took 63 curlers and 2plus hours to do her hair! Were dropping one studio and sticking to Val Weaver's. Probably will add Hip Hop. We will be up to 4 hours of dance a week. I'm a little concerned with 4th grade starting in July. Lots of homework-they drag books home over the weekends....ugh!

Devyn got an award for Super Speller at school. She only missed ONE word ALL YEAR! They had 33 spelling tests!!!! So much like me-I always loved spelling. (In case you are wondering, she missed "design". It was killing me so I asked the teacher). It was a little sneaky. That test had all of the "ight" words (sight, fright, knight). SO, she added an "h" after the "g" in design. Oh well, probably won't forget that again.

Turned 36 yesterday-that was traumatic. Funny, my friend at school turned 28 and celebrated her birthday for several weeks. Oh, those were the days. A kid at school asked me how old I was. I said "old". He said "sixty???". Gotta love those little guys.....five more days of school but who is counting???? I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....... :)
