Kindergarten

This week Zach started writing in cursive at school.  It is not coming easy for him.  So….he told me one evening when he was going to practice writing e’s at home: 

Mom, those dogs (the neighbor’s) are barking…..”Don’t do e’s….Don’t do e’s)

Mom, I had a vision …..If you take that page to TaMolley’s it’s going to fall on the floor and get dirty.  We practiced e’s anyway both there and at home! 

THAT BOY!

Zach really enjoyed getting to see and feed the animals at a drive through animal safari last year.  So….we headed back this year.  I think more than Zach enjoyed it this year!

This year he managed to keep his hands still enough to get a wax hand.  I took a picture of it in case it didn’t make it home.  It did!

Last summer and this summer we rented a house in this village for the week.  We enjoyed our lil red house for the week.

We enjoyed our little vacation.The time came when we had to head home!   It seemed to fly by this year.  I told Joel that it was one of the fastest vacations I had ever been on…..He agreed.

Zach had a great time!  We were planning to stay somewhere on our way home.  Zach wanted to go to his house…we kind of did too…...so home we went.  I’m glad that he likes home too!

You Must be a Redneck!

A few weeks ago, Zach saw his boots in the closet and decided to pull out all of his western gear!  He headed out to the back 40 for a lil’ target practice.  I decided to catch a few shots myself of this cute lil’ cowboy!  I love that guy!

A Candy Buffet for a 40th Birthday!

summer 2011 028

I recently had fun gathering candy to make a candy buffet for a SURPRISE 40th Birthday party!  I couldn’t find many ideas out there for a 40th birthday candy buffet.  So, I found a list of candies from the 70’s and put together my own.

You can’t have a birthday around the Robinson’s without a Roses are Red poem…..So, Joel had to write a profound one to be framed. 

summer 2011 031 summer 2011 033 summer 2011 034 summer 2011 035 summer 2011 036

We had tons of candy….and probably tons of CAVITIES!  Oh, well!  We’ll deal with that later!
