Still working out the Picasa thing...

After the shirt was un-tucked it wasn't so bad of a look...

A cute picture.

Gemma is trying to figure out how Carolyn was blowing a bubble.

Learning how to use Picasa

Jade painted her own toenails.

This is my little"dork baby", we were at Grandma Rory's for the day because James was sick, so I gave Gemma a bath there and got her all cleaned up and of course the minute she got outside again she got in the mud so back to the bath, and the only other clothes there were Jades, so we improvised and put Jades shorts and a T-shirt on Roo, the result was a little "dork baby" :-)

Jades Dance recital

Last Saturday was Jades dance recital, she is in ballet and jazz. Her class did a cute dance to "Love Cats" and their costumes were tigers. She was so cute. She waqs originally supposed to be in the 1:30 show but on the morning of the recital I looked on -line to verify the time to be there and her class was moved to the 10:30 show! So we all had to rush to get there on time, we did make it but just barely.

This is after her show, she got a rose.

Memorial weekend

A fun Sister picture.
Jade and Gemma are with Tinnielle, their cousin.
Taking a rest from hard playing,
You can't tell in this picture but jade had a tragic day, she crashed on her 4-wheeler into a tree and she scratched up her face and poked her eye, she was upset because she was sure that she was going to get a black eye....
As you can see no black eye but a pretty good scratch that goes from her eye to the back of her neck.
There were a lot of "owies" this weekend, Grandma Anaka re-opened a burn on her arm....
James got cut with a piece of flying wood, He and Mike were chopping wood for the fire pit and a piece flew up and got James on the nose, it bled a lot.... then....
James ran into a large tree stump and hurt his leg. I am putting all of the "owie" pictures on because Jade didn't want hers to be the only one.

School program

This is a cute picture of Gemma in all of her "pretty's"
Jades school program

Jades school program, she was a tree in the play.

Fun Pic's

So I did have to get a new camera.... But that's OK I guess.It is always hard to spend lots of money on myself, but, I am really enjoying my new one and here are some new pic's from the last few weeks... (They were not taken with my new camera.)

Gemma got to have her first ice cream cone that she didn't have to share and that wasn't a plain cone dipped in somebody elses ice cream, she thought it was great. She did get very cold however and made a huge mess, but it was fun.


Getting loves from Chris while he was in town.
Cisco's wrestling achievement banquet, Rory went with him they had dinner and a ceremony.

Gemma found "Nandy" (candy) at Rory's house.
We were watching the wolf at the Zoo.
This is a cute picture, I was outside with Roo and the jogging stroller was on the porch , she loves to go for walks so she just got in all by herself and was ready to go.

It has been a little while since I have posted anything, sorry about that.
This last week was spring break so the kids were out of school for the whole week, which was fun because I think they needed a break. We went to the Zoo on Friday with Grandma Rory, there were so many people there, I don't think I have ever seen it that busy so we only stayed for a few hours and we had a picnic. We didn't mind because I bought a Zoo pass this year, So we will be going a least a few more times.
On Saturday We went to see Grandma and Grandpa Hudson, Cisco helped Grandpa work in his garden and on the mountain and we visited then went to lunch with Grandma, we love going and spending time with them I have such wonderful memories from when I was little, and I feel that it so important for my kids to make some too! :-)
On Sunday Chris and his family came into town and surprised my mom, so we went up to see him and Jana and the kids, it was wonderful to see him, we miss him a lot, but we know it is important for him to be where he is in Kansas City.
Sorry I don't have any pictures right now, but my camera is not jiving with my computer, it is probably time to get a new one....dang it...
Cisco got his first job this week (that's not working with his dad). We are proud because he only had to put in one application and he got hired, he is going to work at the Subway by his school. He is happy about it he thinks it will be a fun job for the summer.
