Recitals

End of school, means recitals.

Tuesday, May 26 was Jessie's choir recital at the high school. The theme was 'An American Quilt' and I always forget that my camera is able to record stuff, but remembered halfway through their performance. They sang several songs and I just randomly started recording on this one. Had I known how cute their last song, 'ol Dan Tucker, would be, I'd have recorded it as well. They really did a good job. Can you find Jessie?

Today, Sunday-May 31, was Jessie's piano recital. I'd already decided on the way that I'd just record it, so that I could share with anyone in Oklahoma who would like to see it, that can't possibly make it up here. ALTHOUGH - Everyone would certainly be welcome to come enjoy a live performance, for future reference!

Finally, I'll share a picture of Jessie after straightening her hair. She loved it, however, she has SO MUCH hair that this was a very lllllloooonnnnnggggg process, so probably won't be doing it again for quite awhile. She does look cute, but I really miss the curls.

Lots of Company

This month (May) has flown by it seems. We've had company come on two different weekends. We have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our time with family & friends, but as usual, our time is over and they have all headed back home. Here are a few pics from our two fun-filled weekends.

Jane, Mattie & Ciera came up Mothers Day Weekend. We went to downtown Minneapolis on Mothers Day to Minnehaha Falls & the Stone Arch Bridge over the Mississippi River. We also visited the MOA (Mall of America) eating lunch at Bubba Gump's and then doing the 'entire' mall! It was just us girls at the mall, so we finished our day with a much needed pedicure.

Emily & Marion came to visit over Memorial Day weekend. Since it was Marion's first visit to Minneapolis, we 'had' to do the MOA again of course. We also went downtown to the Mississippi again, plus took in a Twins Game - which was great. They won! That always makes it alot more fun. We also went to the Sculpture Garden downtown.

Schools almost over, so now that our company is over for awhile, I need to get focused on planning a trip to take Jessie to Oklahoma for the summer. I never look forward to her leaving, but am looking forward to spending time with family and friends while there.

I know I never post anything, but am trying to see if I remember how it's done.

This weekend will be Mother's Day also. So happy mother's day to all you mom's. I feel so blessed to have the wonderful mother God gave me and also to be the mom of my sweet Jessie D. I always say that she was definately worth the wait.

WE are all excited that we have company coming this weekend and cannot wait to see them. Mattie and Jane are always so much fun to spend time with and we feel pretty special that they will be here soon.
