Making Apple Wrapping Paper (2 Birthday parties tomorrow) I created the Handle idea for the stamp I first did them with popsicle sticks stuck into them and that worked too, but I thought this would be cooler! Plus they can eat a couple wedges of apple while waiting for the paint to be poured. =)

I got new cute glasses yesterday and may put up pictures someday.

In the meantime my hazel eyes have changed to green.

Girls were waiting for me to get to the garage so we could go out. They got bored when I decided to make Dentist appointments without telling them.(I never told them to go to the car, but they were headed that way) They found some toys in the laundry room and played for a good hour with them and had so much fun I delayed my trip out the door.

Joy School last week when I was teaching and the weather was bearable.

Sierra’s Third(3) Birthday in Idaho March 26, 2004

It took a while to get a party Started. Sierra woke up in the middle of the night to tell me that her stomach hurt. Then she woke up at about 9AM and said it again so I figured she needed something to eat to see if that would help. SO she sat on my lap and I fed her Vanilla Yogurt, and Bananas, had couple bites of each and again, “My Stomach hurts”, poor thing on her birthday. Anyways following her last remark she Threw up all over the table, herself and me. We got in the tub and she almost fell asleep in the tub. SO I put her in bed and she slept til Noon. Finally we were able to Make Cupcakes, Blow Bubbles with cousins, make Treasure Banks by using foam stickers to decorate 3X5 boxes, Play Pin the Stem on the Strawberry because they all like Strawberry Shortcake!(Sierra Won), Decorate Cupcakes, Sing Happy Birthday to You, Open Presents got great dress up gifts and Cinderella things, then Grandma Lay came over and gave everyone a Boing Bunny and some party gifts(dress up toys, lipstick, compact, watch braclet etc), then bed. It was a really memorable day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIERRA!!

Pics from California on my trip.

Molly’s House

Clear Lake CA, near Mollys house. A Really Nice Area!!. Although she lives by the San Andreas Fault and you can see the crack in the ground when you drive to the opposite side of the lake (YIKES) and there’s a Big Volcano nearby. The Pics of the Fake volcano(clouds) was so much fun to take while my mom drove down the road and I tried to snap pics before a tree got in the way(deleted those). Finally got a couple on the Drive home.

Sierra Mts over Donner Pass, Gas prices there. YIKES!

All I can say is, I know who loves me if they are reading this! I love you too!

Here’s some pics from Nevada I thought were pretty cool.

Dustdevils

Farmers Weed Burning on the HWY (no big pic)

Sierra Nevada Mountians

A historical site that we drove past many times on the way up to Idaho as kids and never took pictures of. Some guy made all of the stuff out of JUNK and recycled it into these places right by eachother in the middle of nowhere.

A Queen Anne Bird we had to stop at the side of the road before the reception to my Moms mobile phone was gone and this is what the girls and I enjoyed listening to and watching as we waited.

Here is Wilsons Mower

Right as we were turning the coner to my sisters house in California we saw this. I couldn’t help but take a picture and later we fund out his name is Wilson.

AND YOU THOUGHT YOUR KIDS WERE DIRTY!!!!!

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR DAUGHTER THINKS SHE’S IN CHARGE OF THE COLOR TABLETS FOR THE TUB. 3 Survived the fall about 15 fell into the tub.

I didn’t want any REALLY dirty pictures of my girls in the bath but this one just fell into place. GOOD THING IT”S A SECURE SITE NOW. (I made sure they were modest, dirty pictures)

DC and NYC long fun trip. It took 8 hrs to make a 3 1/2 hr trip. Part of the major freeway was closed, the tolls took a long time 40 min to 1 hr to pay a toll and get 5 miles down the road. Easter weekend travelers. 3 girls and a pregnant woman in tow. Eyh! The trip back was shorter although we had a potty stop on a major freeway going into New York City and the cop that stopped was pretty nice about the incident. Good thing we had a Pull-Up handy.

We stayed in the car throughout DC except to take the picture in front of the Capital Building.

NYC was really nice. Driving out was scary! But luckily there aren’t any insurance claims to be filed we made it!!! We went to Times Square, Central Park, The Plaza Hotel, Toys R Us, Harley Davidson(sisters best part), took pics with the Empire State Building behind us and the Chrysler building too. Had a NY hot dog for lunch, Walked form 12 AM to about 6PM stopping in almost every McDonalds for potty breaks, Found Fashion District and got fabric samples for MaryAnnes SIL. 63rd street through 8 avenues and some others to 39th street and back. Skipped the train, Subway and Grand central station all together, fine by us this time.

Easter with MaryAnne and Ryleigh, CT cousins Aunts and Uncles and Daddy.

Here’s an overload if I can get the pics up fast enough. Enjoy!!
