Shout out

Hello everybody! It's been awhile, I realize. Lots of things have been happening in our busy world. Easter came and went, so did Derek and Allie, and my family. It's so much fun having company. I just wish we had a bigger house so that we could all spread out a little bit more. It is pretty amazing how many people we can cram into our living room though. Now that everyone has come and gone I am going to drag out my sewing machine and finish my happy apron and start my nappy bag. When Allie was down she showed me the darling dresses she had made for Lily and some of Lily's friends. Talk about creative and so cute! Sometimes I wish we could dress little boys in dresses too! Dusty would never go for that. But he does embrace wearing purple and pink which I think is fantastic. I haven't bought Tyson anything pink yet because I'm pretty sure that would confuse people still since he is such a cute kid. I'm afraid I would have to explain that "no, he's not a girl, pink is just his favorite color". (hee hee if anybody watches The Office and gets that). We didn't do anything spectacular for Easter. Not even an egg hunt. I guess we'll get more into it as Tyson gets older. Dusty would probably have looked for some though if I would have hidden a few. My tomato plants are getting so big! It's amazing to plant something from a tiny seed and watch it grow. Then you plant it in the garden and you have a bush. I love it. We bought another shrub for our front flower bed. Hopefully I got the right one. You just never know these days. Anyways just wanted to shout out at Happy Spring to everyone and let you know that we are still here!

Kudos to Meggie

So, let's just face it. Megan is braver than me. Dusty just got a new motorcycle and she decided to take lessons on how to ride it. I won't even try to start it myself. I have had bad "moving vehicles" experiences in the past and would rather be a passenger. Thought I would show the world Megan's first times on the bike.

Enjoy!

Meg is getting all ready in her stylin' helment.


Dusty is giving her the motorcycle basics. Sounds like Greek to me!


I think she is ready to go!


After a few tries, Megan has successfully reached the end of the driveway! (hee hee)


Since she wasn't ready for the road, we all traveled to the church half a block away.
This gave her lots of room to manuver.


And she's off!




Dusty had a good time imparting his wisdom to Meg.



Thanks for being such a good sport Meg! You are my hero!
