What could be better...?









What could be better than a trip to Build a Bear with your Daisy Troop!? Sadie's troop used some of their "cookie money" to do a group field trip to Build a Bear (or dog, or bunny, or monkey...) They all got to create a friend and then as a special bonus, they got a vest for their new friend just like their Daisy smock. At their ceremony on Thursday, they will have a special surprise (what a racket) a Build a Bear patch for them and one for their creation. This was so much fun for them!!

Fancy Schmancy!


After a soccer game together and a birthday party together and then playing together, Emma and Sadie were all dressed up to play some more.
Jack wanted to be in the photo- even though he wasn't fancy at all.

Soccer Success!

Oliver's team won their tournament game today 1-0 and moves on to the third round tomorrow. Pretty impressive for the team that only won one game all season last year!
Go Rockets!

VWs on Parade

The "very exclusive" (translation-small!) Lees Summit Volkswagen

headed out for the cruise on Saturday.

Above- the view from Pearl.

Sadie and Oliver were thrilled to ride in "Mr. High's bus."
Sadie had to customize the cars first!

Start 'em young!

Sadie hijacked the bus!

Perfection


Not only are Columbines easy to grow perennials- as an added bonus they spread themselves! My flowerbed is filled with PERFECT Columbines. The colors are stunning and the flowers are just lovely. They make me stop and think about the perfection that is nature!

First T-ball Game 2009

Score! Hey! I am ready to catch something out here!
Cheering for the Purple Wildcats!

Running a victory lap after the game!

Seriously stunning.




Easter- out of order!

I try to put photos up in order, but I just found this card!
What can I say? but I live in "random house" and things turn up.
Like Easter pictures in May. Enjoy! The beautiful eggs...before Molly ate them all...

I
Cousin love!!

Cousin time- bonding on the trailer!

Never tire of throwing rocks into the quarry!

Not sure O's plan with the stick...but Sadie is loving the zipline!


Yes, mowing. Barely seven...

The Sweater. The Sweater of the century, made with love by NeNe. Did you hear about it?

Sock Hoppers!



How did I get cursed with a child (OC) who does not like to leave home??
After a battle about even going to the sock hop, he WON best costume for K-3 grade...
pictured here with the girl winner!






Its hard to really take in all of Sadie's attire.
From top to bottom- pink poodle hair clips and pink poodle socks!
