Kalista the Swimmer

Happy Father's Day

TO THE BEST DADDY IN THE WHOLE WORLD!

I can't take credit for this super cute hand print tree. I got the idea from The Crafting Chicks. 

All I had to do was download the template, have our local print store make it into an 11" by 14" on hard card stock, and then the kids chose their colors. Ta da!

The Graduate

Sophia graduated from her Butterfly class! sniff sniff 

Diploma and a sweet treasure chest from the teachers for being room mom.

Everyone who reads this blog and/or knows me, knows just how much I love LAPS. It's the perfect school for my girls and I can't wait for Kalista to start in August. And you can bet I will be right there with her, just like I was for Sophia. From room mom to the upcoming Board President . . . 

I. Will. Always. Be. There.

Sophia's answers to 'All About Me':

My name is Sophia.

I am 4 years old.

I have brown hair and black eyes.

My favorite color is pink.

My favorite toy is my stuffed animals.

My favorite food is fish and I really don't like to eat salad. Yuck!

My favorite animal is a unicorn.

When I'm at school I like to play in the dress-up area inside and I like to play on the swing outside.

I like to play with all of my friends and we have fun playing in the dress-up area & stuff.

When I grow up I want to be a mom.

WE LOVE YOU, SOPHIA GRACE! AND WE ARE SO VERY PROUD OF YOU!

My Deep Sea Fisherman

Alaska . . . pretty wouldn't you agree? Darling Hubby just got back from his annual Alaskan fishing trip. And although the picture above looks nice, it's not the kind of trip Darling Wife would enjoy. Not that I don't mind the outdoors, but let's just say Glacier Bear Lodge in Yakutat, AK is very remote. Oh and not to mention that I get very sea sick. I have yet to step foot on our boat in the harbor because the motion sickness is so bad : (

I think this pretty much sums up the place. : )

 Oh and this pretty much sums up what the whole trip is about.

Not bad for a day's work!

It always helps to stand by your fish to understand its' true size.

Winner, winner of the 100 pounder in the middle?

DARLING HUBBY : )

Graduation Cupcakes

Sophia's preschool school graduation is this Friday and I thought I would help her class kick-off the week with this:

Can't take credit for the idea. Gotta love Pinterest!

Super simple and cute! I had to improvise and use Rolos and instead of the mini peanut butter cups due to the "no peanuts" allowed in her class. The mini cups have a much more dramatic effect cause of their size, but the Rolo version still turned out pretty adorable.

Don't they look like little graduates all lined up?
