Ian wearing dad outer vest
Ian every day when dad has to work, he wants a ride around the street and loves to sit on his bike with lights and sirens on. (Our neighbors just love it....yeah right)
Oh and the kids like to help wash his bike but when it comes down to cleaning our cars they run the other way unless we go to the carwash.
Alana got a reward the Team Player: in recongnition of exhibiting positive attitude and respect towards peers during the past nine weeks.
Principal Mr. Reiley & Alana
She says its #8 but honestly I think only the tooth fairy know ;) because I don't
Cheese!
Alana was happy to win but she was more excited talking to others about what they called a cool poster and asking her about Mystery our tortoise
Alana made the left side the desert plants for tortoise and the right side with grass and plants found in tortoise that are captive like our Desert Tortoise Mystery.

Alana won 3rd place for 1st grade but for her class her teacher gave her 1st place 
Alana being the cop & well Ian as always likes to be the bad guy.
Alana got the bad guy or kid :) And on the video you will see Alana trying pullover a bad guy and of course he chooses not to listen, so the chase is on but in the other video you will see the roles reverse and Ian playing the cop & Alana playing the bad guy and of course Ian got mad and we stoped the tape because he wanted to be the bad guy again which he said made him crash and fall. I thought work should be left at work not brought home.
No one was hurt while filming this video :)-
So here is Ian's mural finally finished, we painted Gothem City first that took two days to do then my brother Paul and I took a break before we started up again. OK so maybe we took a long break only a couple of months (5 months). But come on I was prego and had to find stencil paint to finish. Anyway its all done, hope you all like it, Ian does ;)
All and all I think it turned out good.
Here is Alana after she went to the salon to get her hair fixed
As you can see Alana's hair on this side was no longer long, so Sunday when she did it she could not come up with a reason why, but said she wanted to keep her hair long, of course after this it had to be cut to a much shorter.
Alana is holding her hair stands that she cut in a baggy
so my mom has cursed me with gray hairs well actually just one if you believe that :)- so I thought and waited until it was OK to do in my 2nd trimester of pregnancy, and this is how it turned out, it was an adjustment for me but good one :)
19 Week 6 Days along, but I want it to be September already.
so many have asked for pictures of what I look like prego but I have been avoiding them completely, for a number of reason but pregnant women usually know why and can relate :)
We left on March 31st and came back the next day becaue of possible rain storm, which never came.
On our way
Our location at the lake finally after looking around for a good campsite

Waiting for breakfast to be made

Ian waiting for fish to come to him
Any thing yet Ian?
While eating lunch Ian had to have an accident to so he ran into the metal grill handle that are all around the lakes. And of course he was not wearing his glasses at the time which probably could have saved him the pain and blood :(
