A NEW BLOG!!!!

I've started a new blog.

R.I.S.E. Up & Learn

It is geared toward preschool special ed. and regular ed.

I've let this one fizzle, but I'm hoping I can have more to post on the other one.

THANKS for following me! Please follow my other blog now!

Raindrops on roses....

Here are some pics from today.


This isn't a rose but I LOVE this shot...

Iris

My irises are FINALLY blooming! This is the 4th spring here and they finally decided to bloom. I had no idea what color they were going to be.

A new do.

I took Emily to get her hair cut. It was getting so stringy and annoying!

Before...



After...

Early Works Kid's Museum

I took Emily to the Early Works kid's museum in Huntsville while Norm was at his softball umpire camp. She loved it there. Here are some pics from today.







There's a story to go with the water tubs shots...

When we got into Biscuit's Backyard Emily wanted to know if she could play in the water tub thing. I said sure. Apparently she thought I meant she could play IN THE WATER TUB because she proceeds to PULL HER PANTS DOWN!!! I guess she was going to strip naked and play IN THE TUB!! LOL!!! Needless to say I was rushing to pull her pants up and thank goodness NO ONE WAS IN THERE WITH US!!!




I think this is my fav shot... and it isn't of Emily.


More pics.

Making a butterfly with the cute guy at the museum.

Laughing about hitting me on the head with a bundle of material at the "barn".

Emily's Half-time Show

Emily enjoyed Bruce Springsteen during the half-time show. Here are some clips. Emily shakin' it and smoochin' on Bruce.



Emily and her daddy dancing.

A Day Out With My Friend

Emily and I spent the day with my friend Karla. Even though I talk to Karla online, I haven't seen her in years! We went to the mall and window shopped, hit some more stores around town then took Emily to the Imagination Place. Here are some pics from today.

The carousel at the mall.


At the Imagination Place. Emily had a ball there! The blurrier pics were taken with my cellphone when Emily and I went back after Karla headed home. My camera batteries were dead. They still turned out semi ok for a cellphone.

Construction Gal Emily!




Oooooooh! Emily's in the doghouse!!!


A couple of shots in front of a fake set of frenchdoors... "trump loi"



Grocery shopping! Ready to check out!


ALL ABOARD!!!! Too bad we couldn't go in the train car. The museum seems to be using it to store junk.


Here is painted wall behind the traincar. Pretty cool work!


The Shadow Room. She LOVED this! (cellphone pic.)



Is there a doctor in the house?

Meet the Fishies!

Meet the two newest members of our family... Dorothy the Fantail Goldfish and Minty the Black Moor. Dorothy is named after Elmo's goldfish "Dorothy", of course and Minty is named after "Minty", the green My Little Pony that Emily got out of her Happy Meal last week. I guess she thought it was a greenish tint of black. Who knows! LOL

Christmas at Grammy's

We went to my mother-in-law's for Christmas. Here are some pics from our trip there.

Princess Emily




Norm was blowing leaves in the front yard at his mom's and Emily had to be right in the middle of it. Oh, how she loves the wind blowing through her hair.



I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!!

Santa Came to See Emily!

Here is the washing machine she's been asking for. She also got a vanity, a fish bowl, and some goodies in her stocking. We still have to get a fish. We were gone for over a week after Christmas so Santa knew a fish wouldn't make it on its own for that long! :) She wants a fish like Elmo's Dorothy - a gold fish! :)













I think she enjoyed her gifts! She also had to go out and check to see if the reindeer at their food and they did. She was thrilled!
