Hummingbirds

I decided that I need to clean the hummingbird feeder and get it put out in case the little guys might come this way soon. I am never sure when they come and go. I did a little reading and it seems they should be heading this way now, March. I was so excited to see one come to the feeder just hours after putting it out!! It's the small things in life! I was so happy to see that little guy darting around the feeder. Fun stuff.

A sweet fan

Meka made this fan for me the other day. I thought it was so very sweet and creative. She was playing in the yard, pulling the wild onions (which we have surfeit of), and said that she wanted to make a fan using the onions. This is what she came up with. Isn't is super cute!!

I haven't posted anything for two years now. Boy, time sure does fly!! I have been thinking about it the last couple of days and I think I may try to be more faithful in posting. Whatcha think? The girls have grown up so much since I posted last.

Our day today is going to be filled with homeschool work, a trip to get the air conditioner recharged in my van, and a trip to a floor dealer to see if there is anything that can be done about the grand canyon that has developed in our kitchen floor!

Please pray for the people in Japan!

These are a few pictures from the last month. It seems that I can only manage to upload pictures once a month:) Maybe I will get better but there are no promises:)
Meka is still taking her horseback riding lessons. She loves it and loves the pony she rides, Smudge. Smudge is an old feller but does great with Meka. It is a perfect combination for her to learn.

We got the girls a little inflatable pool and boy have they had a great time playing in the water and "swimming":)

Daddy makes a great floatie.

This is our cat Sally playing peek-a-boo.

Meka is in the primary theatre camp at our local culture arts. These are a few shots from practice. The actual play is tonight so maybe I will get some photos posted.

Over Memorial Day weekend we went to visit Michael's parents in AL. The blackberries were just starting to ripen. Madison loves to pick and eat any berry. Blueberries are her favorite but she sure enjoyed pickin those blackberries at Grandmother and Grand's house! Meka will help pick them but she won't eat them.

Future ballerina, Little Miss Madison!

Meka had her first dance recital on Tuesday, May 19th. She did a wonderful job. She had said earlier in the day that she didn't know how she would do on a stage because she had never been on one before but just let me tell you that she was great! She never missed a beat. When she turned 5 in January she said that she wanted to take dance. I told her it was either dance or gymnastic, she couldn't do both. She wanted dance. I wanted her to stay in gymnastics but I do believe that she has a natural talent for dance. She was very confident during the recital and actually won an award for Leader of the Class. She said that she felt like a star later that evening after the show. Too cute. We are soooo proud of her!!

Meka was in the children's musical, just one song. However, she loved being a part of it and can't wait to big in the big kid's choir.

After the performance, Madison had to try the butterfly wings out for size. She was so cute running around the front lawn of the church.
