Project Life - Week 1

Ok, so I've been doing the Project Life just haven't had time to post on the blog too. But, that's going to change because Carrie had told me it's easier for her to post the pics and then go back when she gets the prints and use what she wrote on the blog for her journaling. Sounds like a time saver to me!



I'll start with Mother's Day....These are my beautiful gifts the girls made at daycare for me....




The card in the plant says "You take care of me, like a tender young plant. You give me good roots, You feed me. You give me water each day. you let me out into the sunshine. When I go places, you make sure it's the right environment for me to grow. you weed out the bad things. Someday I will grow storng and blossom into an adult. Thank you for nurturing me. love Danielle." Ella's is the one with the handprint (sweetness!) and says "Somtimes you get discouraged because I am so small and always leave my fingerprints on furniture and walls. But every day I'm growing up and soon I'll be so tall that all those little handprints will be hard to recall. So here's a special handprint just so you can say, This is how my fingers looked when I placed them here today". Enough to make a mama cry!


We had beautiful weather all week, even a couple days close to 90! So, lots of outdoor pics this week :)



We live on 120 acres and a farmer leases most of it for his cattle. These are some of the "baby moos" that are out in the field. We love going for drives in Grant's Jeep to see how many babies we can find.


The girls love playing with Cousin Rayce, and especially love any excuse to play on the trampoline. I love this picture because you can see Ella Ann laughing like crazy!





Ella Ann's FAVORITE place to be. I've started calling her Dirt Girl. For those of you that watch Sprout, you know exactly what I'm talking about :)




This huge log is a very small piece of a beautiful, very old oak tree we had to cut down in our back yard :(. It was struck by lightening a few years ago, and half of it was dying. We finally broke down and had someone come cut it down, but haven't figured out how or what we're going to do with what is left of it.




The weather turned cooler Friday evening, so we stayed in and made cupcakes......

Dani showed Ella Ann how to get more batter on the beaters after you lick them clean....Just stick them back in the bowl :)

Saturday we went to Old Timer's Day in Van Buren, and Dani couldn't wait to ride the ponies. Ella Ann wanted nothing whatsoever to do with them.
And of course you cannot go to Old Timer's Day without having a foot long corndog!

And this is what happens at the end of a very long, very fun day.....You just have to take a nap!
