Oh baby!

















After many years of asking Marlena whether or not she would like to participate in any extracurricular activities, she finally came to me last week and told me decisively that she wanted to take gymnastics. I am not a huge fan of this sport (although I love to watch) but she was quite enthusiastic so we told her she could try it. As you can see by the pics and video, there is no turning back now. She LOVED it!

What to do in Texas in the Springtime








See a rodeo, go to an art fair, let a baby calf suck on your arm, go to the beach, learn to use a backhoe, pet Aunt Linzee's new foal. Whatever you do, get outside because this is one of the few times of the year when the weather is perfect!

Keller ISD Art Exhibit 2008





Ava was chosen to represent her 2nd grade class in the District Art Show. Her entry was a mixed media lizard. Since the show, her interest in sketching has grown resulting in a couple of really nice drawings...a skunk that Pop spent 45 minutes chasing from the hangar and a goose she saw in a book at school.

As promised...other party pics








A celebration at the local pottery store with Naine and my best friend Natalie; a party with my family, culminating in awards for Marlena and me for Chicken Limbo and Pin the Tail on the Donkey, respectively; and a cupcake party at school made my second official birthday the best ever! AJA
