Good Bye Tree

We were finally able to get the tree in the back yard taken down. It was a very large tree that was rotting at the top of the trunk where it branched out to the bulk of the tree. One good wind could bring it all down, so we did. Man my yard looks large without it and we get wonderful sunlight in the house (when we have sun that is)

Macie's intro to Kindergarten day

In June the school has a little kindergarten introduction day for the kids going into kinder in the fall. Macie was so excited to go and meet the teacher and see some of the kids that she will be in kinder with. She woke up early and wanted to go when she woke up. I told her we were going after lunch...she then told me she wanted a sandwich for breakfast. I told her she could have one for lunch...she said that was her lunch so we could then go to school. I had to tell her that eating "lunch" at 7 in the morning did not mean that it was "after lunch" when she was done. She was very sad.

Sports Day 2011

Here are some pictures from the kids sports day at school.

We were lucky this year that Bella and Nathaniel were on the same team so I didn't have to bounce between the two this year and miss half of the stuff. They were on the green team and this year green won 1st place.
During lunch we had ice cream sandwiches...they were very nummy...and Addie was having a hard time eating them...so we took pictures of the funny sight. she was not happy with that.

Macie at the end of the preschool race getting her ribbon. She loves the race and looks forward to it every year. I would have taken more pictures, but as my luck goes, the camera battery died and this was the only picture that I was able to take.

New Addition to the Family

This is our new little bunny "Buttons" She is a Holland Lop dwarf just like our other bunny Floppsy. She is very tiny and cute. So far we think she has the strong dwarf genes because we have had her for about 2 weeks and she has not grown any. Macie loves her to pieces and is always carrying her around...picking her up...playing with her...you know just over all pestering her...but Buttons just calmly takes it in stride. Very different from Floppsy. So far the two bunnies get along. It is actually funny watching them play.

Last Day of School 2011

So I sent Bella to school with the camera to get the year end pictures with the teachers. So Belle was the photographer for these pictures.
Bella was sad the last day of school because her teacher was leaving the school. She misses her teachers when they leave. This was the cake that she made for her teacher and the grade 7 students that were leaving
