Spring Flowers in our Yard

After our cold and snowy winters up here in the snow belt, these spring flowers are very welcome. These are in our yard, we don't have the magnolias, forsythia, dogwood, but I couldn't find the daffodyl picture..hmm..

The rhododendron blossomed when I went to Little Rock for Laedyn's birthday.

Messy Birthday

Requesting the messy pictures?? OK, here they are. The ones of Valerie, Eric and Mark...which I do have, are well buried in old photo albums and probably in slides. Someday.... first I need the copier that will convert slides and negatives... A good winter job...



I like the way Valerie takes pictures...


Almost a baby frown..




Her hat stayed on the whole time. Prime interest was only in the cupcake, and then the yellow cake.



Bath time. She loved the hose!!

Laedyn is now One

OK, I'm ONE year old now!!






My birthday cake. Brandon chose the theme. A Flower!!


I'm a big girl now..


I play with the big kids..




My Big/Little Brother, Tyrus. He was so excited to come to my Birthday Party!!




I'm trying to charm everyone!!

Class

Last June, when I stayed in Little Rock for almost 3 months... I took a class on Photography. How to do Portraits was part of it. Right. Just try that with a 3 1/2 year old wiggling around and a cat, too... dad was great!!

Mark's move to Little Rock

Good thing we had the Suburban to haul the U-Haul to Little Rock. Both were full to the top, as was Mark's car... he had the company of Tazz.


His rental house.

Front yard and steps to street.

These are self explanatory.








Oh, oh... that might be for me... says Tazz.

I'm going to miss my life in the country on the river....

Tazz has managed to get out of this kennel several times already!! He's bent the bottom of it.

Couple of trips to Little Rock

Boy, am I glad to have my new Nikon Camera! These old Olympus digital were sooo slow! Natural color was all yellow. But I just can't throw out the old pictures, now can I??



At the restaurant.




Papa really was not mad.. just not good picture.




A great way to watch TV on those beautiful blankets Lori made.


Look what I picked up... it was moving on the track.
