Emma the hair dresser

Emma got a hold of Grammy's hair curlers and found out that she could just put them on her hair and they stuck! So she then became or family hair dresser and went around doing everyone's hair!
Fancy hair dresser
Doing Grandpa's hair (woo, woo, woo!)
Doing Mom's hair. Fancy! Fancy!
My Mom said she found them at the dollar store. I've got to find Emma some! They kept her busy for a long time!

Liam's last day of school


Because we are moving and spring break is this next week, Liam had his last day of preschool yesterday (Friday). He was pretty excited about not having to go, but I think he'll miss it after a couple of days. We decided not to try and put him back in a preschool in Iowa. We'll just let him have a looonnngg summer and let him start Kindergarten in Iowa. He has learned all of his letters, sounds, and numbers!! Smart kid! In fact today he decided to try and sound out watermelon. He ended up spelling WUTRMI, but for a preschooler I thought that was pretty good. :) He told me that all of his friends told him goodbye on Friday. Thanks to Mrs. Strausburg and Mrs. Nickels for all they taught him!!

Pictures for Dad

Pictures that Liam and Emma (and Kira) colored for Tony. :)

She mostly drew dots, but there is a ball and some playdoh in there some where (or so she tells me) :)

Mom in a car and Dad in his red truck with a shovel in the back.
(the thing right in the middle is a vent brush that Emma asked Liam to draw :))

Liam and Emma's hands


Mom/Kira's hand (that Liam traced, pretty good if you ask me) and Fox's hand (which is why the paper is all crinkled)

We love you!!
