Whoops!

I can't believe I've almost let a week go by, but honestly nothing that exciting has happened in my life to even warrant writing down. Peter got the bikes down from the top of the garage tonight and we went on our first family bike ride. It was actually really fun-but our bodies are killing us now!

This is Madison right before family prayer. I guess the gymnastics are paying off.

And this is daddy....

Congrats

Congratulations to my brother Brandon and his wife Alison on the birth of their first child. He is absolutely adorable and we can't wait to meet him.

1st mow ever!

Tonight we mowed our new lawn for the first time. I don't like to brag but dang it looks good! I can't wait till all my bushes, trees and flowers sprout.

Peter did the front


And I did the back


The proud lawnmowerers...


As you can see Ralph really liked the grass too!

Rain? Rain? Snow, Snow go Away Come Again

Next YEAR! It's been raining all day and about 35 degrees outside. When the weather is like this it is so hard to get motivated to do anything other than sit in front of the fire and sleep. Around supper time the rain turned into heavy snow! Are you kidding me? My poor flowers are going to die. Of course this would happen to me. This is my
1st year where I've done the picking and planting all by myself. I was rather proud that I started early (last year I waited til July to plant flowers!) and planted them in a neat design and then have been tending them daily. If they die I will truly be broken-hearted, not to mention I'll never hear the end of it about me not having a green thumb, even though I try really hard.

Cold and Sappy

For the last 3 weeks at Madison's school there have been hip-hop dancers teaching each class a dance. Today was the concert to show off all their moves. It's really sad when you get teary-eyed watching your 5 year hip-hop dance to Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation"--I think I need serious help! I've tried to load the video but I barely know how to load photos, so this could take a while.

On the other hand this is what we looked like tonight before we left on our walk.


Yes it is cold and miserable...maybe I don't need that air conditioner after all.

Back to the Future

I never posted any pictures about my trip to New York (March '09) that's how bad of a slacker I've been. So here are some favorites:

At the M&M Factory....Gpa Henrie would love that place!



Uncle Jon, Aunt Joanna, Madison and mom at Madison Square Garden to see a hockey game


Ice Time at Rangers Game


The little Church across the street from the fallen Twin Towers


Last but not least because I'm a proud American Girl!

Lucky Girl!

This is what I see when I sit at my kitchen table. Am I lucky or what???
